Default Wheel hopping problem

I have Advan Racing RS 19" rims wrapped w/ Pirelli P-Zero Rosso tires (265/30/19 fr and 295/30/19 rear). No other mods. When i try to do some tire burning the rear of the car shakes very violently and i feel like the car will break into pieces if i continue. How can i stop this god damn thing?

I have posted on the same issue before. I hear new suspension or bushings helps this problem. I think it's the struts, personally.

Subscribing. I have read that several of the lowering spring accomplish this.

Try not to dump the clutch if you feather it out you will get all the spinn you want and no hop but if you dump it you will almost always get hop
