Awesome, so the best ways to avoid the wheel hop is, front strut bar, motor mounts, control arm bushing, and a descent set of tires?

I dont think there would be much vib if any. It would feel as if ur suspension is a lil bit tight.....lil rougher ride

The folks at Jbody said it is the single greatest wheel hop eliminator. He said it alone should eliminate most if not all of it without the addition of a motor mount or transmission mount. Mine should be here on Friday. I'm not sure what the difference will be like on a fwd, but when I put polyurethane bushings on my mustang's rear control arms it made the ride feel a little firmer/rougher over bumps, but added no additional fibrations.

Keep us updated ! I'm sure you will as you always do an excellent job. I'm also going to get these pending on your review of installation and ride quality.

i just installed the bushings. there is NO wheel hop, it is great! i didnt take pictures because it wasnt worth it. you couldnt see anything if i took the pics. if you dont have a press, this is going to be a hard task to do.

see, he didn't take pics either. once you get them in your hand, your vision goes narrow and you can't think of anything else other than putting them on your car!

ps: ooo. shiny!

Just take the car to a professional suspension/strut installer. They can pop those suckers on in 5 minutes. Don't waste your time with tools.
