Default Help!! Massive Wheel hop

Since i bought my car about 2 months ago i have had massive wheel hop if i went to half thottle or past. I asked about this before and people said it was normal but i rode in my friends t/a and he can get on it really hard and no wheel hop. My car is awefull tho, at half throttle the car shakes so bad it feels like its going to fall apart. He has no suspenions ugrades and his car had 60,000 more miles than mine. What could be causing this? Can it be the type of tires (goodyear rsa)? MY lca's just not as strong as his? I did notice that my torque arm mount looks really bad but could that cause so much? Or is this just something that happens to some cars and not others?

I pretty much know how to fix it. Im just wondering why mine is sooo bad and he has none? He does have a cutout so could it be that i just have a lot more torque off the line? Or do some cars just come from the factory having wheel hop and other dont?

I do know that mine is pretty bad since I did the exhaust, but I don't know why some would be different than others.

Some cars are just different... Obiously, is the suspesnion bushings have more miles on them, they will allow more movement. It also depends a lot on the tires. I never had wheel hop, but my car never got traction in 1st either. A good get of LCA's and SFC's should virtually eliminate it.
