Has anyone here installed Roush Wheel Hop reduction kit?

The downside? As someone else already posted, it isn't adjustable. When I switched to BMR lowering springs with D-specs (which are better for drag racing), I had to switch it out to correct my pinion angle.

Why do you all talk about LCA's as if they were an option to stop wheel hop?
Between the two LCA and UCA (2xUCA for older cars) they are what holds the
axil on.
Without them it would be a funny looking ride until your rear came off, then it
would be a F***ing hilarious looking ride.
Stronger LCA's and added LCB's will control wheel-hop and also a Swarr-bar. I'm getting one soon will eval for all later.
Notice the silver things LCB's on both sides. That tube bolted to the bottom of the LCB is the LCA. This angles the LCA down creating a stronger triangle = less wheel-hop.

So when you are saying LCB, you're referring to lower control arm bracket (relocation) specifically? I've done LCA's on 2 of my 06 and 10 and just bolted to the stock location. Im sure it's probably recommended, but unless the UCA is swapped out for aftermarket, is there a significant improvement with using relocation brackets too?

So, let me qualify my answer so you don't feel the need to take it to extremes.
For all but hardcore racers, and depending on hp/tq levels and how sticky your tire is...upgraded LCA's are not necessary to stop wheel hop. An upgraded UCA is enough.

Are you talking about wheel hop on flat pavement when accelerating?
Or wheel hop from going over bumps with the solid-rear-axle? Cause I never have had wheel hop on flat surfaces, only when going over bumps .... I feel like tire compound and width is another factor with wheel hop. I rode in a friend's 3000GT, FWD, and he has insane wheel hop.

yeah dat solid rear axle.. after almost 2 years of ownership, i've definitely learned to let off the gas, even for .5 seconds, when I'm about to go over a bump or crack. It's scary as hell to be putting rubber into the pavement and hit a bump, feels like the drivetrain is about to snap

Wheel Hop Update
Installed Roush LCA and it fixed the wheel hop problem...
AND...
Changed out the stock 2.73 gear with the Ford Racing 3.73...
Completed 3.73...(Note that the axle is now BLACK)...
SO...
With the Front Strut brace & CAI...
coupled with the 3.73 gear, and LCAs, and a BAMA TUNE, this Mustang is a sweet ride! Really fun to drive!
Oh yeah...SWEET RIDE!
