How to avoid wheel hop?
So I am seeing three different fixes.
1. The Roush UCA.
2. The Steeda UCA and LCA.
3. The UMI position changed LCA.
Which of these really works, or if they all work, which works best?
Which is best for limiting axle hop?
Which is best for maintaining ride quality?
Which is best for keeping stock handling?
Thanks!

Just called Steeda to ask when the 2011 stop the hop pak will be available. They said hopefully by the end of the month and that it will come with an adjustable third link. So, no need to choose between stock and lowered ride heights. This is good for me because I am stock now and want the wheel hop gone. But, I may be lowering my vehicle in the future.

Good this is getting a lot of focus.
Im on the fence as far as lowering to reduce hop or start with LCA braket kit.
Concerned lowering will affect the ride -
I expect the rate would have to be higher . Its about as firm as id like with the Factory 19s
If the LCA mod keeps closer to factory ride , that would be better for me at least.
The handling is good enough for my needs for now.

For me, I will attack that beeyotch-*** wheel hop by getting springs, but most importantly, UCA and LCA. I don't think I will lower so I might not even need relocation brackets.
Check out this thread, I found out a ton about attacking wheel hop.

I have wheel hops on my 06 mustang GT installed a brand new LOK LSD assembly and switch out the gear ratio to a 3:73 that when the mustang felt wheel hops for the first time, I think it could be the brand new LSD plus the gear change putting all the power on the ground which is good, meaning I need more stiffer bushing, I already changed out my rear shocks but not for the lower control arm or pan hard bar because I never had wheel hop before so changing those didn’t concern me until I got the LSD and switch the gear ratio but I wanna hear more about you guys opinion on this??
