I run the stockers with red urethane bushings no wheel hop with a pinion snubber. But if you want to upgrade for cheap ive had my eye on SVE-5649AT its a part LRS carries.. they are tubular and come with hardware and all.. They are also not adjustable so sometimes spending more money is a better option, it all depends on how you use the car.

Using context clues, I suspect you are drag racing a Fox Mustang since it looks like you have an 85 GT with drag springs and shocks. If that's the case, then I STRONGLY recommend a good set of lower AND upper control arms. Good control arms are necessary for good traction on a Fox body Mustang. ESPECIALLY when you're drag racing.
 
Dude, a couple summers ago my '93 notch daily driver with a stock 5.0 was only packin' 236rwhp and I was spankin' 12-second cars left and right because my car dead hooked. I was using tubular chromoly control arms with spherical bearings and the car launched like crazy. (not allowed to say which brand because I'm a vendor here on Stangnet, but if you PM me I can tell you what I used) Anyway, if you use good quality control arms, you can discard the quad shocks. They are no longer necessary with the upgraded control arms.
