Get softer springs in the rear, very little compression dampening in the shocks and a pile of suspension travel in the rear wouldn't hurt either.
I'm convinced wheel hop is 90% technique. When I launch I slowly release the clutch until the tires start slipping then let her rip. No wheel hop and easier on the drive train.

Well - I don't have a miata to look at to see if its at all similar - but I remember from old RWD mopar that you would get wheel-hop when the leaf springs would get wound up (twisted) allowing the nose of the pinion to rise and create an unfavorable pinion angle. When traction would break, the energy stored in the spring would release in a violent manner. One of the ways we would band-aid this was with an adjustable pinion snubber located on the nose of the pinion housing.
However, with the Miata I believe the center section is firmly attached to the frame- is that correct?
