Would these springs which i plan on doing anyway completely get rid of wheel hop along with a pair of frpp lca,s.I was planning on doing the Roush 3rd link but if the springs and lca will cure the hop i can use the extra 300.00 what the 3rd link costs for other mods

These springs and BMR LCA's eliminated the hop for me.

I have a tiny amount left if I drop the clutch at high RPM's in 2nd at 20-25 mph, and there's still a bunch on wet roads, but from a stop I just get clean tire spin now (if I want it )

looks like i,m going with the Roush 3rd link and the Ford racing lca,s along with the 55D springs as i want to COMPLETELY get rid of the hop.The ford lca,s use a high durometer (90)rubber bushing instead of the poly ones so i,m pretty much guarenteed no extra nvh as the case with the Roush kit(no nvh).

Does anyone using the 55D springs ever hit the bump stops during any kind of driving?Are there any negatives in these springs on a stock suspension 2012 Brembo,6mt, 373 car in any users opinion?

Doubt you'll hit the bumpstops with a 0.5" drop. The only negative, which has been debated to death here and in other forums, is whether the spring rate should be slightly higher to compensate for the reduced ride height. However, keep in mind that the 55d springs are being marketed towards reducing the wheel gap while maintaining stock ride quality, so it makes sense as to why the rear rates weren't increased.

Question

Anyone used these springs on a 10-14 V6 3.7 yet ?

What is the spring rate on the stock rear springs ?
