I get horrible wheel hop when I take off and the wheels spin a little is there any way to make this wheel hop less....Springs struts...sway bars??? I was just curious. I am looking at koni struts and some eibach springs right now will that help or is there something that will help a lot more. I want it GONE

Www.Kustomz.com Motor mount inserts will help take up slack inside the mount and help out for relatively cheap...if you'd like to eliminate it all together do a search for "Quaife" or "LSD". Lookin at about $600 for that.

Quaife will reduce wheelhop, but it doesn't eliminate it. Although you have to try REAL hard, it can still happen. Motor mounts will help, too.

Agree with PA 3L SVT,
Quaife drastically reduces wheelhop, but doens't completely eliminate it.
In the 6 months of having the Quaife, I've gotten wheelhop once out of about 20 hard launches with wheelspin.

Koni's, Springs, Sub-frame connectors, Quaife and ES motor mounts...that will limit wheel hop greatly!!

I have 1 of our "Track-Links" in my car presently. It completely eliminates wheel hop, at least in my car. If you don't own an SVT you'll need extra brackets, hardwrae etc. You can see it at PerformanceFords.com.
