my friend is having serious wheel hop in his conversion car. He has stock 5.0 springs, 4 cylinder struts and southside lift bars. Any ideas what else he can do to eliminate the wheel hop? I have the same problem with my notch. I have 5.0 springs, new 5.0 shocks, and stock control arms. Thanks in advance.

Matt

I have aftermarket control arms and sub frame connectors. I don't get any wheel hop what so ever.

Try adjust. Upper control arms and set your pinion angle, that should take care of it.

exactly, the quad shocks were fords answer to the mustangs wheel hop problem, so either get better/new quad shocks or get new upper/lower control arms... i heard teh upper/lower control arms also help the car handle better
