Subframe connectors. Or there is a Shelby anti hop kit for the leafs. I know I have seen it in the NPD catalog, I don't know how much though.

can you put the shelby traction bars and the subframe connectors on? or do they interfere with eachother? if they do, which one would reduce wheelhop more? what about the suspension on my car? im pretty sure its all original.

as far as? Suspension? Stock ***, squeekyleaf springs and some nasty looking shocks. I have some pretty massive rear tires. they are 295/50/15. and they hop all over the place.

Subframe connectorshave nothing to do with wheel hop. Traction Masters traction bars are a great addition and were stock on all Shelby cars. Unlike the crappy bolt-on deals, they eliminate wheel hop without affecting ride quality and handling.

Most Mustang wherehouses should keep them in stock. I know Glazier's does.
