Default wheel hop

I just installed a BBK progressive spring kit on my stang, 94 5.0, manual tranny. I have only driven about 30 min or so, but have noticed a lot of wheel hop that didn't exist with the stock springs. What's the best way to remedy this? BTW, car looks great, corners on a rail, and quicker take-off but with noticable wheel hop.

Traction Bars would act a little more like lift bars, and that would defeat the purpose of lowering the car(to make it handle better). Some different control arms would help with your straight line acceleration/traction, and would also help keep your tires planted while in the corners. Look into Maximum Motorsports, they have a few different sets of control amrs for your stang, Kenny Brown, and Ford Racing also make some good arms. Also adding some sub-frame connectors would really help out in conjuction with the control arms, and would stop body flex, in turn making the car handle better.

I would agree with Jesse B. unfortunately a lot of progressive rate springs are a little softer that could be the cause
