You need the billet shock mounts. It will fix you right up. [MENTION=26233]Rebellion[/MENTION] had the same thing with a similar suspension package (even stiffer springs) and found a huge improvement in ride over less than perfect pavement and hugely reduced oscillation at the rear. Before the mounts, he loved the handling improvements from the LCA bearings but did not care for how "clamped down" and harsh it felt. I found the same improvements from the mounts, though I don't have the LCA bearings installed yet.I had these installed the other day because I was having a lot of issues with wheel hop in anything other than a straight line after installing a number of other products(see sig for full details).
Let me tell you these have helped a ton! Id say that the hop is 95% gone. Only time its noticeable now are under hard acceleration while turning and the tires break loose, but its only momentary rather than through the entire time. Its nice not feeling the hop while taking a normal sharp turn like the car was doing prior to the install.
The 1 draw back...and its quite noticeable...is the much stiffer ride. I feel like I switched out the mustang for one of those Nurburgring inspired track cars. Its night and day between how the car feels with and without them. It could be good or bad depending on how you like your car to ride.
When you go to the BK055 and CB005, you have almost no rubber isolation anymore with the exception of the shock mounts, and that rubber actually prevents the shocks from operating properly. It becomes much more critical to have a spherical bearing at the top of the shock once you have taken the rubber out/removed its isolation.
