wheel hop!
 
I've got a 03 gt, with some nasty wheel hop. It didnt start untill I put 3.73's in. I still have the stock control arms in, and my buddy predicted I was going to get wheel hop. My only question is, I have a couple friends with numerous year stangs including another 03, all of which put gears in, and none have gotten wheel hop. Is it normal to get this? seems I'm the only one who has gotten it. I'm planning on getting new control arms anyways....but I'm still curious. I dont think it would matter but I still have the stock crappy tires. thanks

Try my 99 cobra, it wheel hops sooooooooo bad.

yeaa the wheel hop sucks bad, I just ordered upper/lower control arms from jd's performance, and steeda sport springs. Hopefully it should solve the problem! Anyone have any suggestions for my next mod? I'm looking for the best bang for the buck. I was thinking about getting headers, but I'm not sure... my current mods are listed below, thanks!
