I noticed a big difference. No more axle hop after they were on. Definately a good buy.

I have some UMI tubular adj. poly/rod LCA's and UMI bolt-on relocation brackets laying under my bed. Haven't put them on yet. Waiting for my Koni/Strano's to come into my possession.

another thing you guys with wheel hop could do is check your rear shocks, if they are bad you'll get wheel hop bad and it will only get worse. You probubly already know this, I just thought I would throw it in there. I had it happen on my 3rd gen really bad, shocks fixed it but i was only putting 335 to the wheels through some 3.42's.
