Don't know what to say, my car never gives me wheel hop. Spin, oh god yes, straight or turning it doesn't matter, though naturally it will spin a lot more if the wheels are turned (or the snow tires are on).
However, my Boge OE shocks/struts are only a year old. I'm still on the original springs. I can't remember my car ever hopping with the 160k suspension, either, although to be fair, that was only with stock torque.
Maybe you just need to add more torque so they will spin faster. :) Out of curiosity, what kind of tires are you using?
