went to the track the other nite, and im having some serious wheel hop issues.
which one do you all use, theres two different styles i'm looking at, theres the universal 30" set and then theres a set specifically for the 68 mustang/cougar, best i can tell the difference is that the universal ones mount directly to the leaf spring, and the specific ones mount to the axle tube and to the leaf spring, and i don't wanna sound cheap but theres almost 100$ difference in price between the two!
so is the specific set worth it or will the universals work ok,
lemme know what yall think
thanks in advance :SNSign:

I've got the direct fit bars, they fit more cars than just a 68 Stang. I've had the same set on a 67 Stang and my 77 Comet. They work great in eliminating wheel hop and spring wind-up.
