Thats called "Wheel hopping"
WHICH IS VERY BAD FOR YOUR CAR.
so Don't do it!
To fix it you can buy a torque arm upgrade.
Which will help force your back wheels down,
and it will help your car be faster too.

It's not a power mod, but a suspension mod. Lower control arms in the rear will help out with this also.

It will help get more power to the wheels though.

Also get Moog Solid rubber LCA bushings. Believe me, I was stunned after I got those things in. Cheapest, most worth it mod I've done yet. Shocks help too. Don't get the poly or rod ended aftermarket LCA's, no need for those with a V6. The stamped stockers are more than enough with the moog bushings, you can box them too if you wanted. With my strano bilsteins and moog bushings alone, wheel hop is 100% gone now, stock torque arm. And I'm not friendly to my 315's when I light them up
