Anyone use the Roush wheel hop reduction kit?

Anyone try this or know anything about it?? Saw this part was used on the Stage 3 Back Jack. I was wondering if this is the cure for the wheel hop, or do I still have to go with both lower control arms and an upper control arm??

It looked to me like some sort of upper control arm.

its an upper control arm assembly including the control arm and the control arm mount.

not know much else about this kit from Roush I would just better be off with the LCA and UCA combination from a good vendor like BMR, CHE or Steeda.

What about the GT-500 Ford lca? seems like a cheap part if they help compared to aftermarket stuff.

I bought a Steeda "Stop The Hop Pak" .

It is their non-adjustable LCA's and a non-adjustable UCA.

I'm with 94tbird... get a BMR or CHE adjustable Upper (poly bushings for street), HD mounting bracket, non adjustable LCA's (poly bushings) with a relocation bracket and you won't have anymore wheel hop issues.

Roush wants $290 for that piece and it doesn't appear to be adjustable. A BMR adjustable Upper with the Bracket is $301. The LCA's and relo bracket are another $210. If you get an adjustable Upper, I don't recommend messing around with the OEM rearend bushing located on top of the differential housing unless you have the proper tools to do the job. You may get into a nightmare of sorts.

If you go to BadMustangClub forum and look in the Gallery at MooStang05gt you can see my BMR Suspension pics... I'm very happy with my BMR parts...
