6 speed manual,
stock Pilot SS tires I've tried everything from 38 psi down to 32 psi.
It's just bad.
Has anyone found a solution. I can't run a small wheel due to the rear brake clearance.
I've seen some people mention the diff mounts.
I'd love to get this sorted once and for all.

You could get some kind of hop on a cold day and/or wet asphalt with everything in perfect order. In that case it may rather be the traction control trying to figure out what's going on rather than true wheel hop. Turn off traction and see if that helps. Wheel hop is something that happens regardless of the traction settings. If it goes away or improves with the traction control off, wheels just spinning/skipping instead (no hopping), it's traction control rather than wheel hop.
If it really is wheel hop take the car to the service and have the rear axle control arms bushings checked and replaced if necessary first. Also, check the differential mounts, if the above fails.
True wheel hop is weak bushings vs grippy tires which results dynamic alignment changes and loss&gain of traction cycles that feel like wheels skipping and hopping, gets worse the grippier the tires, goes away with crappy (e.g., winter) tires.
ps: might want to check the alignment, too. certainly, get alignment done if bushings are replaced.
