Reducing Wheel Hop & Putting Power Down In Your S550 Mustang GT350 | Review & Install

Taking your #GT350 to a new level can be a tall task considering how well this car performs from the factory, but Steeda was up to the challenge by installing our Stop the Hop #RearSuspension package! In this video, Chris reviews and installs our IRS Braces, IRS Bushing Supports, IRS Subframe Alignment Kit, Billet Aluminum Vertical Links, and our Adjustable Rear Toe Links on this 2018 GT350 #Mustang!

I have all of these parts on my work bench, waiting to be installed. I was hesitant to install them myself and contemplating having my go-to tech at the local Ford dealer do the install. After watching your very comprehensive video, I feel 100% confident to do the install myself. Thank you for producing a video with very clear step by step instructions. The level of detail, including torque specs, was spot-on. The young fellow doing the install was very well spoken, thorough, and enthusiastic. A credit to Steeda. Well done!

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

I know this video is 2+ years old but for anyone reading the comments thought I'd throw this in. There should be disclaimer that when switching to metal bushings over rubber, there will be noise. I recently switch all the metal bushings to urethane due to all the noise metal on metal caused. I also have a rear seat delete which amplified this noise since the seats are extra sound deadening insulation. If you go further and add the lockout gears, it will also be noisy.

[@skipgumphrey9579]

Added the kit to my PP1 and I love it !

[@PureBlood777]

That gray is sooooo fire!!

[@pmeledforever680]

I have most of these parts from Steeda on my 2019 Bullitt. They work as described with literally NO wheel hop! I also have the sway bars and ultimate ride springs that has taken the Bullitt to another level! Thanks Steeda!

[@edgarsalinas207]

Hey bro, I just got a bullitt myself. I was wondering if you could tell me which parts you added yours. Also, did you install a short throw shifter?

[@booombyybyy]

Installed this on my 2018 gt and it's a monster

[@IMGONEIN60]

I only install Steeda parts on my mustangs, I have the irs braces, vertical links, and the ultralight jacking rails on my 19 Bullitt so far 👍🏽👍🏽

[@TheChaosHome]

Love these videos🔥Great video🙌🏻

[@Twentyfoursilver]

Well done ! Great vid !

[@jeffdouglass5107]

Great content!

[@daffy_6632]

I have all these ( not all steeda) plus diff bushings ( steeda red bushings and 6th gear diff wine!) and still have wheel hop! 2017 gt Australian spec. Oh plus MCA coilovers.

[@mariomelchiori90]

Best things for mustang 🔥

[@Pinkfloyd162011]

Just installed mine today. It really got rid of the loose floaty feeling in the rear end on the car. 100 percent recommend as a first mod for any S550 mustang

[@luatngo5408]

Thanks Brotha

[@dupajasiu920]

That would be nice to see before and after. I'm interested in smooth burn outs :) something Mustang does not do... unfortunately.

[@zgblundell]

Great video! You make it look so easy. Should I use thread locker for all threaded applications? Also what is the purpose for adjustable toe links?

[@marktarascio4766]

Good product. The bushing supports are the last thing if you want to keep the noise down. The braces and dog bones will work enough witout being too noisy.

[@tuanand955]

Ditto for my 19 PP2 with a Roush phase 1 blower. K member was a game changer for tramlining as well. Excellent work as always 👍

[@benlu3523]

Should we have the weight of the car on the suspension or control arm before tightening the two bolts of the new toe arm. In this way we can make sure the bushings are in neutral position when the car is sit on the ground

[@adventureseekerdude]

GT500 hood but no resonator delete? Come on! 😈 Loving all my Steeda upgrades on my GT350. I have all of these parts and then some, highly recommend!

[@steedaautosports]

Filming an H-Pipe video for it as we speak ;)

[@adventureseekerdude]

@@steedaautosports very cool. Love the X-pipe but wondered how an H-pipe would sound on the GT350. Looking forward to that video!

[@Monsterberger]

What kind of grease is in that tiny packet?? I’d like to buy more at store. Cause that’s not nuf

[@mrasian3991]

I did installed mine but i didnt put the bottom part he just said 2018 mustang gt

[@robmontgomery3512]

In the process of getting all of this installed on my GT350. Just to confirm, it isn’t until you get to the adjustable toe links that you need the car aligned right?

[@steedaautosports]

Hey Rob - Just answered your e-mail! Once you unbolt that rear subframe, you'll need to have the car aligned. This means the Subframe Bushing Inserts as well as the Alignment Kit will require an alignment after installation. That's typically why I recommend just doing it all at once so it's one and done. However, the IRS Braces and Vertical Links do not require alignment after installation. Hope that answers your question! -Chris

[@jesusm2159]

Steeda mustang shirts please summer colors beige, cream, off white etc

[@alfenner3309]

I have an 05 with all of the Steeda bracing as well. The install were welded as well.

[@JOSHUAGROY]

Why doesn't steeda just make a complete package with these parts ?

[@floyd4311]

I ordered the vertical links. When they arrived they didn’t include washers. Called and someone at Steeda said it was not supposed to have them. So why did you use them here? I am installing them on a GT350

[@steedaautosports]

Hey Layron - You're correct, the Delrin Vertical Links do not have washers. The Poly Vertical Links do. Hope this helps! -Chris

[@floyd4311]

@@steedaautosports yep. Thought I ordered the poly but didn’t. Wasn’t purchased directly thru Steedas website. I will get them returned and order the poly bushing links. Hey thanks Chris and I enjoyed the video.

[@chrisw.7039]

I have 23 Mustang GT with the performance pack. There is no more performance pack 1 & 2 for this year and I believe last year as well. Do I still omit the bottom bushing or do I use it. Please let me know.

[@steedaautosports]

Hi Chris - This video is catered to a GT350, so for a GT Performance Package, you'll be able to use all of the bushing supports in this kit. Hope this helps! -Chris www.steeda.com/steeda-s550-mustang-irs-sub-frame-bushing-support-system-2015-555-4437.html

[@chrisw.7039]

@@steedaautosports Thanks for the response. I want to get that entire setup. It looks really easy to install. I could do it with a jack and stands. Also thinking about getting that short throw shifter kit.

[@Matt-fq6ly]

Is this a factory color of the gt350? Or is it a wrap?

[@steedaautosports]

Factory! Lead Foot Gray was available on 2018 GT350s. -Chris

[@bastro3320]

what if you have jacking rails installed, does it interfere with the stop the hop kit ?

[@steedaautosports]

Nope! Our Jacking Rails and the Stop the Hop Kit are compatible. We've installed that combo on plenty of cars at our shop.

[@bastro3320]

@@steedaautosports nice dope thank you for the clarification, I was asking bc the stop the hop was like kinda close to those two holes where we put those jacking rails but nonetheless great information thank you!

[@xutsider]

something like this needed for the 2024 mustang?

[@steedaautosports]

Yes, we’ll have a video out soon covering it on the 2024!

[@PunkRockandCars]

Do you have any before/after data to show the improvement in 0-60, quarter mile, or lap times after the components were put on?

[@smurfeco2.358]

It helps with wheel hope not grip . Pair it with tires you’ll see the difference. Yes it does help with traction but regardless you’ll still spin on stock tires

[@steedaautosports]

For this installation, we did not, unfortunately. However, we have a few more down the pipeline where we were able to showcase the difference. So stay tuned! -Chris

[@PunkRockandCars]

@@smurfeco2.358 But wheel hop is a loss of grip? The tires are not fully making contact with the ground, which means you aren't able to accelerate as efficiently as possible. The reduction or elimination of this should result in quicker, more consistent launches/acceleration. It should be pretty easy to measure a before/after to see what all of the changes net you. Of course there are other variables like tires and temperature, but if you keep the conditions fairly similar it should give an idea of what has changed.

[@smurfeco2.358]

@@PunkRockandCars how I said you need a better tire . It would be better to see a go pro under the car on a stock car then with all these suspension parts .

[@PunkRockandCars]

@@smurfeco2.358 Sure, a tire contributes and is a part of the system, but the stock tires that come on the 350 (PSC2) are about as good as you will get grip wise. A go pro would help you visualize the change, but it still is much better to have hard data to validate the benefit from it. The goal is to see a before/after to understand the real world gains.

[@MatthewWhitcher7]

Can I add this to my GT or is this only for the GT350?

[@steedaautosports]

We have these for any S550 Mustang coupe. You can check them out here: www.steeda.com/2015-2019-mustang-irs-components
