Is this wheel hop?

Occasionally if I'm accelerating a bit harder than is considered casual my whole car will violently shake on the 1-2 shift. It seems to be coming from the right rear. My car will chirp second, however this shaking seems to occur when I'm not on it hard enough to get the car to chirp. I'm under the car right now and everything is nice and tight, is it possible for the sway bar endlinks to be too tight?

swaybar endlinks too tight, not really.. unless they are smashed to no recognition.. and that does sound like a case of wheel hop.. a set of weld-in LCARB's will help..

Okay, thanks. Everything is brand new, and it only started since all the new stuff. Who makes good brackets? My rear is stock replacement IROC springs with Koni reds.
