When I peel out or attempt to burnout I get terrible wheel hop.. like the car is ready to fall apart. I'm assuming I need new lca. The car is lowered and has 20in wheels and DR. I think it may have been lowered from the factory so I believe most everything is stock. I have had the car a little over a month and it has steeda badges and strut mount "things" idk what they are called. but all the shocks and everything I can see all says ford.

New LCAs would fix that right up. The stock ones are crap. Here's a picture of the J&M LCAs I put on next to the stock ones:

I was looking at some ford racing lca's. I'm getting a new job in the next couple of months that pays generously so I might end up with a new gt500 in my driveway so prob wont dump much money into this one

Eh, in that case, I would just deal with the wheel hop. In case something happens and there isn't a GT500 in your driveway soon, then you know what the problem is. Waste of money to buy stuff if you're just going to get rid of the car that soon I think.

If, however, you really want them, just about any aftermarket LCA will be better than the stockers. The most common thinking is that you want to have at least one end of the LCA with some sort of spherical joint to allow proper articulation. It's up to you though, definitely want polyurethane bushings at the very least.

If you've lowered your car, I don't think the LCAs are the problem. The actual problem is that the geometry on your rear suspension is changed. What you need are LCA relocation brackets.
