Wheel hop bad

I never had any problems with wheel hop until this year. I got rid of my single turbo and put twins on the car. There is a little more weight in the front of the car which lowered it a little. I also put 315's in the rear of the car 17" rims, last year I had 245's on 16" rims. Last year the car would either spin a little then hook or grab and go. This year the car wheel hops so bad I have to let off the gas. Im wondering if its the 315's because I have to run about 30psi in the tires where I had 17psi in the 16" rims allowing the tires to wrinkle.

What do you guys think?

Aftermarket lca's and relocation brackets should help to clear up your wheel hop.

Check the rear sway bar bushings and end links too. Easy to change and often a culprit.
