***NEED HELP CAR SWAYING 90+ AND WHEEL HOP OFF THE LINE

Hey guys so i went through everything on the car still cant figure out issue... Car is swaying side to side as if im driving on a bumpy road (on a perfect one) this is the best description i could give, because thats how it feels. Any ideas? I checked everything it seems fine. Also having a problem with hooking.. when i get off the line i feel as though car is wheel hopping before actually driving smooth, i put new r888rs and still the same issue. Wont hook from first nor from second. These are two major problems ive been having with my car, ill take any help i can find thank you all so much.

check rear shocks and subframe bushings. Wheel hop is too much traction not stiff enough suspension. Also do you have any aftermarket links on the rear of the car.

subframe bushing has a little bit of play. shocks were replaced a little while ago... Mechanic checked shocks look fine.

Have you had a wheels aligned recently? If not, get a 4 wheel alignment. They might be off if everything else is seems fine.
