I had the same problem with the wheel hop. My problem was fixed when I replaced the u/l control arms with the bbk control arms from jegs and a new set of tires. One of my quadra shocks is busted too but I still don't get and wheel hop. My only problem now is when I rally geton it, the back end just lifts up off the pavement. Not sure how to fix that???

I've heard good things about them, but Maximum Motorsports would be the best.

i think it might be worth a shot, if the only problem is indeed that they're too stiff it should take care of it.

Some of the fastest Fox Bodies on the planet have been built using UPR components, MM makes great stuff, although they were not originally aiming for the straight liners when they started building their components. Here are some links. So we can get this thread over with.
