So I finally got rid of my error codes.. and everything seems to be running good.. just finishing up a new paint job.. which is quite the job... but am almost there.. 88 mustang gt convertible.. mainly stock with a few minor upgrades.... bbk equal length headers, pro chamber and ordered a spintech exhaust catback.. have a 65mm throttle body.. still speed density.. and a cold air intake.. mark 8 fan, new alt.. ignition wires.. plugs, cap and rotor.. (basic tune up stuff) and I moved the bat. to the trunk.. put a roll bar in.. and just ordered a chassis stiffening kit.. oh and new vacuum lines... anyways just the basic tune up stuff.. now I'm kinda just debating what should be next... have 235 tires all around... but when I try to let it go.. really hops in the rear... I have read about control arms and stuff.. but I think there is a number of things that contribute to wheel hop.. anyone know what the main cause is.. next upgrade I was thinking off was switching to 4.10 gears... which I'm pretty much sold on.. what upgrades should I do to eliminate the wheel hop.. control arms??? any of you eliminate the quad shock arrangement??? Any advice for getting rid off wheel hop would be great!!! Thanks guys!!

I WOULD KEEP THE QUAD SHOCKS AND JUST GET POLY BUSHINGS AND MAYBE UCA/LCA AFTERMARKET ONES AND GOOD SHOCKS
