I just put an 8.8 rear end out of a wrecked (it just had front end damage) 87 mustang with 3.73 in my 83 mustang and my car doesn't have the quad shock brackets. I am getting horrible wheel hop and I have heard that new control arms will get rid of that. I have just started looking around for some and was wondering if anyone thinks that these would be good http://www.steeda.com/products/weightjackers.php. Or if anyone has any other recommendations let me know.

 

You could with minor mods add quad shocks. The Rearend has the has the brackets so all you need is the quad shock setup from a wrecking yard, a drill, and a couple of bolts. Let me know if you want and I can send you some pics of how they install. It is an easy and cheap mod.

 

Would installing the quad shocks completly get rid of my wheel hop?
Also my plans are to make this into a weekend warrior with some respectable horse power when I get out of collegeso I would be willing to spend some money now on control arms if there are some good ones out there at agood price.

 

It did for me. Control arms and drag shocks are in my future plans. I dont have problems with wheel hop. But I still cant get it to bite.

Now they dont hop they just burn.

 

If I were you I would just go ahead and get the U/L control arms and not worry about the quad shocks.
Thats what I did, I went with UPR adjustable lowers and double adjustable uppers

 

get either a set of UPR control arms, or a set of Maximum motorsports ones

 

I have a set of upr upper& lower pro street controls arms for sale cheap.lmk
You will not need the quads w/ these.

 

I took mine off put on umi lift bars and adj uppers. no wheel hop
I have the mounts that mount to the body the upper mounts of my 1994
if you want them you can have them just pay the postage
I guess you could weld them on?
your best bet would be to upgrade to better bars thoo...good luck
