Damn Tire Hop

How do I get rid of my tire hop? When under even the slightest acceleration, any imperfection in the road will cause my rear tires to hop badly. Im aware its a rwd car and I have owned many before, just never had a problem like this. Its almost unbearable. WHAT WILL FIX MY CLAPPING A$$????

RWD cars with independent suspension all suffer from rear wheel hop.
GTO guys have added bags to their springs to control wheel hop some what.
Corvette's have a added brace to their differential to control wheel hop.

Nothing in the market for G35/350Z's.
I'm still waiting on a vendor/MFG to make something for the G/Z guys.

The only thing I have ever heard of working is solid rear differential bushings.

theres gotta be something better then that. i feel like its a simple suspension fix. understandably the bushing being solid will improve the hop drasticaly but why doesnt anyone make a brace or a support rod...?
