Which Would You Recommend As My Next Step?
Ok, check out my specs in my sig. With the new addition of the 4.10 gears, I'm getting alot more pull with my car now (of course) which I love, but the problem (which I had time to time before the 4.10's were installed, but that has become more pronounced with them) is wheel-hop.
My originally planned next step was a Hurst Short-Throw, but I'm wondering if perhaps some lowering springs might be in order first, to deal with my new Bunny Rabbit issue. I was thinking of getting the Ford Racing Springs (Mustang K-Springs - 2005+) from AM.

Part of the description for them says "Progressive spring designed for increased handling and performance.", so I guess the first and most obvious question on my part is, would these actually get that wheel hop under control, or at least reduce the occurrences and severity of them? If so, what would you recommend I go with, the Springs or just deal with it for now, and go ahead as planned with the Hurst Short-Throw?

Bigger panhard bar/control arms and some DR's. You wont have any trouble with wheel hop(you can even bypass control arms) if you have the right wheels for the track DR's or a MT ET street is perfect for ya.. For more power/resposiveness get some CMCV deletes.

Wheel hop is mainly caused by flexing in the lower control since the stockers are just stamped steel w/ soft rubber bushings. Aftermarket versions should fix that. However, if you're deciding between the Hurst and springs, go w/ the Hurst.
