Default Bad wheel hop

What’s are the first easy and must have parts I should look at replacing/upgrading to reduce or even hopefully eliminate my wheel hop?

all suspension is stock on my 2001 ws6, not lowered, and shocks have been replaced recently.

I attached a video of how bad it is to see if it helps diagnose TIA

Throw some Moog replacement bushings in the rear lower control arms, poly in the panhard bar and torque arm.

I bought this car a month ago and the previous owner is the one who changed them so I am unsure of the brand, but by the looks they look pretty new and there’s no bouncing when I push down on the car

See if you can read a label or part # on the shocks. Just because they are new doesn't mean they are worth a ****.

^^^ that ! That's why I asked about brand. Even a visual description could help. Color, orange, blue, bare aluminum metal ?
Just because there's no bouncing when you push it up and down, you don't know how they're reacting to the quick and violent suspension movements.

My stock 01 SS would hop so bad originally the exhaust would smack the floor. I did the whole Midwest chassis road race kit, (long torque arm and crossmember, lower control arms, lanyard bar) and it eliminated it completely. That’s with 50k on the factory shocks. Tightened up cornering too
