Question Suspension tuning question

On 'spirited' turns I seem to get some wheel hopping on the front. Any recommendations on what I need to cure this?

Currently only running Tein S-Tech Springs and T1S tires 255/35 Front and 275/35 Rear.

I get some front wheel hop if I take a turn too hot, go into a understeer situation, and keep turning the wheel trying to increase turn-in. Well, if you're already sliding your front, and add more steering input, you'll get wheel hop....that's what I experienced with my stock set up a while back.

One easy thing to do to lessen the understeer situation is to get rid of the staggered wheel setup and get the same size wheels and tires on all four corners. Staggered setup may look cool but doesn't help the balance any.
