They are the same ones that I have on my car. Still have wheel hop. Not enough for what I need. Upgrades are going to happen when the time comes.

WTF, I have a 2014 GT Track Pack and that is not on my car!!

I can't post a picture. It keeps timing out but that is definitely not what I have.

Did Ford rip me off?

Good question. Since I don't have the track pack or know anyone who does, I'm of no help other than the FRPP tech notes. I have a base GT and can post up pics of my stock LCA's that I replaced.

They don't look like the FRD M-5538-A. I think they have the wrong pic on their website.

This is what is on my car. Track Pack car. I have no wheel hope.

When I was at the track the other night. There where several mustangs. I noticed that some had wheel hop and some did not.

+1 on the Steeda Billet Units. I just got a set. I'm seriously impressed with the quality of them. You really won't find anything better. Just as good, yes, but not any better.

One thing I can also vouch for that stands out is the customer service is awesome. Packaging for all their products is top notch and shipping was lighting fast too. There are other companies out there that make a great product and have good service but I've been so impressed I decided to throw the Steeda book at my car. God bless America they're made in the USA too.

So far the items I have from them:

Billet rear LCAs with poly/poly.
LCA relocation bracket.
Upper 3rd link with poly bushing and upgraded mount.
Poly/poly panhard bar and brace.
Spherical differential bearing.
Tri-ax shifter (with whiteline bushing and blowfish bracket this is a great combo that will solve your MT82 shifting woes)

Every piece I have received is beautifully crafted. Oh yeah I have used control arms from 3 other vendors. So far these are the best for my daily driver that sees occasional drag strip time. No increase in noise.

Although it probably won't happen until at least Spring if not longer I'm considering the same Steeda setup. It's come down to them or BMR. I did consider a mix (Steeda springs/strut mounts/Koni Yellows/BMR other). When I do the suspension I plan to go all in.

What is the "Spherical differential bearing."?

My 2014 TP car gets terrible wheel hop as well but I think the "Track Pack" was meant more for the road course like the Boss 302. That's also where the Torsen differential comes in. I have driven a GT500 and with a hard launch I don't recall any wheel hop. I do recall hitting 60 in 3.5 seconds though (American Muscle Car Challenge at Las Vegas Motor Speedway).
