Question Wheel-hop

Took a sharp turn doing like 80 hit a bump/pot hole tail few out but nothing happened so did a bit of searching havent really found anything on wheel hop... Was wondering what suspension stuff i can put on to reduce or improve wheel hop maintaining some decent comfort like the evo any ideas?

Wheel hop USUALLY happens on FWD cars during the launch.

Wouldn't some upgraded motor mounts work also? It works for front wheel drive so I would think so.

Be carefull man. Our cars handle good, but in uncontrolled environment at that speed, it has happend a lot before where it becomes fatal.
