Wheel hop elimination??

[jmagnus87]

So, i have some removed some of the wheel hop elimination kit from the car because it made the ride on the street just awful (our roads are a joke)
But i was never successfully able to get rid of the wheel hop. I did the full Steeda elimination kit, Steeda Tri-ax which removed slop in the shifter rear bushings, transmission bushing insert thing, and have ran stock 275/40 Michelin pilot super sports until about last week since 2015. everything else is stock performance package GT premium with shaker upgrade if that matters. I did resonator delete but that's it for engine. No matter all of that stuff i still was never able to fully remove the hop at autocross from a dig.
any thoughts? I did a search didn't find much??

Vertical links.

I have the full on Steeda stop the hop kit and I get no wheel hop. My ride has not changed either.

I did the kit one piece at a time and it hopped until I added the vertical links.

What size tires do you have? Rubber band? Get some with a sidewall if you want a decent ride on crap streets.

these things here??

I have the stock GTPP tire sizes, 275/40R19 rear and the 255s up front. I wouldn't exactly consider them rubber bands...

Have you seen Full Tilt Boogie’s rear suspension wheel hop video?

This video is extremely similar to that of BMR and steedas videos. I have the cradle lockouts the cradle bushings, the alignment pin bushings in the subframe, the subframe connectors, had the shperical bearings in the car on the lowercontrol arms and as you see, the vertical links.
the full tilt video, based on the wheels has all season tires and no GTPP so no torsen gear driven diff... likely not the 3.73 gears either

Copy that. I guess some cars just behave differently than others. I have the following parts on my car and no wheel hop at all (with 373 gears).

- Steeda adj. motor mounts, RLCA spherical bearings, diff. bushings (black ones) with through bolt kit, subframe alignment kit, subframe braces, differential bracket, vertical links, subframe bushing supports, adj. camber arms, adj. toe links
- BMR camber lockout kit
- Boomba transmission mount (black bushings)

Are you on the original rear dampers? Also what tire pressure do you have?

Same here , I keep spending money and I keep wheel hopping . What's the sense in producing
a nicely powered platform like the mustang and have to spend a shitload of doe on more shit that still doesn't "stop the hop" ?

Where is Ford's R&D on this issue ? So annoying ... My 21 Cali special and my 16 GT350 same
problems ....

vertical links don't do shit for wheel hop and if anyone gives you advice about this with that peppered in disregard them entirely.

Original factory struts all around yes and I've ran them down to 20psi up to 45psi, no change

I had the entire stop the hop kit installed except for vertical links and it hopped. After I installed them it stopped wheel hopping. Coincidence? I don't know but my car needs them.

- differential bracket,

this, can you provide a link to what this is or where you bought it?

Link to the bracket.

How does the rear of the car feel on uneven pavement? Is there any uncontrolled bounce? It's not unheard of for the stock dampers to fail. It's odd that you have done all those mods and still have wheel hop.

unless you pin the diff, the wheel hop won't stop. It's the diff getting yanked all up and down and fore/aft that is the major freedom of motion that needs to be squashed. Don't get me wrong, the IRS needs plenty of help too to tie it to the rest of the car instead of it having it's own mind.
