Double check that you set the pinion angle correctly, it's not uncommon for folks to set it up wrong. -2 degree pinion angle should have the driveshaft and differential pinion yoke pointing slightly down like a "V".

Why take the rear SB off?? I allways thought the front one could be taken off for strip and weight reduction... But not the rear.. A thicker SB would actually help wheel hop, along w/ a straighter launch..

If you're car is lowered I'd strongly advise the LCA RLB'S. THe LCA's should be parallel w/ the ground or pointed down slightly (from the frame to the rear)..I have almost no WH w/ my RLB's.... Stiffer shox, would help too.

QA1's are adjustable, but not cheap... Injuneer would be able to help more on this than I would.... He's got experience w/ the ADJ shox... Prolly other people too for that matter...

Yep, Relocation Brackets for your LCA's will definitely get rid of wheelhop.
