Well, Tomorrow the GT500 goes in to have the Steeda "Stop the Hop" Kit installed, I SURE HOPE IT WORKS!!

It should. They do the upper and the lower control arms if I remember correctly. They have different levels I think too.

Upper & Lower control arm kit should eliminate the wheelhop, but upgraded shocks/struts are also strongly encouraged. The stock shocks aren't up to the task of dealing with the GT500's weight & torque.

You would think Ford would have installed the proper stuff in the beginning!

The kit is on, NO HOP!! but little more road vibration and noise on certain bumps, but so far very happy!

Congrats!

Yeah the increase in road noise and vibration is definitely a result of the changes to eliminate the wheel hop.. Probably why Ford did not do these changes from factory.. The stock lca and uca have more flex to them per say .. Not as stiff. Even stock shocks and springs too., I think they should have at least come stock with the svt handling pack w adjustable dampers like I added as well.. Between that.. The lca and adjustable uca as well as adj panhard bar.. My car handles like a dream .. Albeit a little rougher on bumps..

Yep, that is exactly why Ford uses those horrible soft rubber bushings in the control arms, to minimize NVH. My car has the full UPR Handling Package and it does not ride as smoothly as it did on the stock suspension, but the grip is unreal!

Installed 3m brand like dYAMAT in the trunk and this has helped the vibration/noise quite a bit! I TAKE IT BACK!! IT HAS DONE REALLY NOTHING TO HELP THE NOISES!!
