Your launching it too hard.

You can easily damage the rear end doing this.

yah its not a fun thing, maybe that is the humming noise i can hear from the back. i think it sounds like a bearing.
will shocks help more than swaybar?

i've got the same problem. my problem was i was launching from to low of an rpm. what rpm do you launch at.

sway bar does help and feather the clutch a little bit when you launch to prevent from breaking something. burning the clutch is better than snapping something in the rear end...

wheel hop is the worst feeling in a car i think... maybe flying through the air is equally as bad.
