wheel hop is a major problem for 03-04 cobras to fix it you need new irs bushings, but to put them in the whole irs needs to be dropped, if you get to much wheel hop you'll snap half shafts, and break the diff cover

You probably still have the F1s stock tires on with lots of air in them, first thing get soft drag radials and drop PSI, consider stonger axles and a 4 wheel alignment helps some people. Also sub frame connectors will stop this as well.
