I think the only thing that will cause the 315's to sound like wheel hop would be if it is hitting the body of the car or if the bump stops are smacking the axle.

I got rid of wheel hop by replacing my transmission mount to a poly mount. I wouldn't have thought that that would have fixed it, but whatever works I actually bought a new stock transmission mount to replace the poly one, but when I put it in.. the wheel hop came back. So, I went back to the poly mount.

Other ways to solve this would be lower control arms or LCA relocation brackets if you are lowered.

I'm not lowered but when I put my relocation bracket's on and mounted the LCA's in the lower hole my wheel hop was gone.
