My s197 wheel hopped pretty badly when I got it so I got the Steeda rear LCA's and upper bushing. I was also abusing the car pretty badly, i.e. redline clutch-drops. I'm not the same person I was 20 years ago and a new s650 would only be subjected to granny upshifts and a little bit of spin off a launch as I realize I have to pay for any damage I cause.


So I picked out my mods for if I can swing a new one but under what conditions are you guys suffering wheel hop? TIA preesh

Regarding the EC S650, you can get wheel hop if you launch it hard enough. With the FPT, it is much easier to do.

We sell a lot of different kits that are catered to whatever need you have. We have just the starter kit that includes the IRS brace as well as the alignment kit and bushing support system. Take a look at the website and see what kit would be best for you. And if you're looking to save some money, use code social5 (works on most Steeda manufactured parts) in the promo code spot at checkout. https://www.steeda.com/shop/?tab=acProducts&search_query=stop the hop&utm_source=mustang7g&utm_campaign=zach-stop-the-hop

I just put a Steeda Stop-the-Hop kit on my '25 DH along with a Whipple. The kit will do what you're after.

A starter kit or which one? As I mentioned my days of clutch-dropping and powershifting are over and the harshest this car will experience is granny shifting under hard acceleration and maybe a little tire spin off a launch. TIA
