springs and wheel hop

I've got higher rate springs in the rear. Has anyone ever done any work on whether or not the higher the spring rate is the more prone to wheel hop a car might be. I've put everything on my car to eliminate it except for a tubular torque are, they are a bit pricey, and I've still got some, not as bad as it used to be but it makes me think twice about punching it off the line.

Thanks!

id say new shocks in the back would cut down some of your wheel hop.

when you say higher spring rates, did you change ride hieght at all when you changed springs? if you lowered the car at all, it will be more prown to wheel hop.

No I increased the stiffness of the springs. The ride height is actually increased from stock by about 1/2".
