If you are getting wheel hop from acceleration, the problem is with you motor mounts and traction arm.

Camber is not the culprit. Although it is a problem because your car is lowered. Correcting it will help, but will not solve the wheel hop issue alone.

If you want to eliminate wheel hop, you'll need solid traction arms and motor mounts.

Solid bushings on the hub side will further reduce lateral* flex but will also increase NVH at higher speeds, certainly with worn tires. You will need to set the rear wheels as close to zero camber. You won't be able to do this unless you have highly adjustable arms for all the links (traction arm, toe arm & camber arm). Also it will limit tire clearance if you go to wide or put spacers on that are too big.
