Check my sig. The Kenny Brown poly bushings, braces, C/C plates, etc made a good difference. Also, I noticed wheel hop reduced after putting fatter tires on the rear.

Friends got a 03 with a KB, and done the bushings and brace and finally the koni adhustable shocks is what took care of it.

Once you feel the wheel hop for the time being, you need to get out of the gas ASAP before she blows.

The Kenny Brown brace kit is what you need.

I've blown my IRS, and been through plenty of adj shocks with stangs.
Koni is average joe shmo shiznit
I've seen the Amazon Racing ones. They are good.
Strange makes a REAL good set-up.
I personally use the QA1's.
They are about 389.00 ea, but they are 12pt adj and very smooth.

I have a solid axle now though.

I would get the BilletFlow IRS kit or MM.
I know RPMoutlet has a good set up as well.

The axles are up to you. If you go KB, Whipple, Turbo, then you will need them for sure.

If you cant kick up 10-15k for the powerful blower set up then i'd go with a 100hp shot on a ported blower and a 4lb lower pulley. You will hit 10.60' easy and rip up your neighborhood ls1.

I've seen Ported Blowers w n20 spank 16psi KB's on the street.
ITS ALL ABOUT THE SETUP.

Drag Radials.

Get a BFG, MT, or Hoosier.

I have not wheel hopped in nearly a year with my BFG's.

Not practical, but highly effective

I agree, tires are everything! When I added Nitto 315-35-17 555Rs to my stock suspension, the wheel hop vanished until the tires became worn out. I have tried a friend of mine's MT ET streets at the track and they also eliminated wheel hop! I have heard great things about the new MT drag radials!!!
