definately subframe spacers. drive a car with new bushings all around and you'll feel a difference.

i think there's a GB still ongoing for subframe spacers from powertrix or something like that. its 60 bucks or so for the whole set? anyway, just check gb section.

When mine did that i replaced the shocks in the rear end and problem solved... maybe it was because your RSR springs are too low for your KYB shock and have blown them? or like everyone else said...subframe spacers...

Even with subframe spacers and gr2's I still had wheel hop. It went away went I got some coilovers though.

How old/new are your shocks? blown shocks will give you lots of wheel hop.
Then again, I still get some wheel hop with subframe spacers and 6k springs on rear coilovers... I've learned to live with it, though. I'm not sure there's too much you can do beyond replacing all bushings with spherical or otherwise solid units.
Good luck!

Based on recent experience, I'd say its the subframe bushings. I installed SPL spacers yesterday and the rear wheel hop is about 99% gone.
