MF isn't bad but the suspension tech is (not all of them) full of kids who think putting on springs makes the car handle the best evar!!!11, BoostedGT is cool thoughBennyDaBall said:Teehee, whoops! I forgot :SNSign: = killer tech
Shut up you old fat. My car handles like its on rails with my tires tucked inside the fenderstomustang said:MF isn't bad but the suspension tech is (not all of them) full of kids who think putting on springs makes the car handle the best evar!!!11, BoostedGT is cool though
Awsome photo with the lighting. Looks like it belongs in a brochure!ToplessStang said:No squatting here. H&R SS with revised alignment settings thanks to MM C/C plates and WOW what a diffrence in handling.

On your car it looks like a 1.5-1.6" drop and it sure takes
away the 4X4 stance.

yeah, suck it mike!mity2 said:You know, I have to agree on TomTom here. My car, though handle better then it dd when it was stock, it still handles like F150 in comperason to what i had befor Mustang.
Granted, it was MR2(perhaps one of best handling car under $50k at the time), but even if i put it side by side with my beaters(03 Altima, and 96 Geo, and T/A with leaking shock), it still leaves something to be desired.
I want IRS and true unequal length double wishbone front set up......
Haha, yea my Sportlines are for show as well. Hey Tom, i took out my front isolators and now the car finally sits level and i'll get some pics to show how LOW the car is now (no rubbing or bottoming out issues at all in Houston)tomustang said:yeah, suck it mike!
my sportlines are just for show, and still on the stock SVT shocks/struts
dlascoskie said:Ok, first off, thanks for all the responses and beautiful pics. Now, let's see if I can quiet the critics and answer some of the questions that were posed.
1. According to Sean Hyland and a few other reputable (by that I mean guys who actually road race mustangs) sources, 1.5" is as low as you can go and NOT change the steering geometry. Offset polyurethane steering rack bushings and x2 balljoints eliminate bumpsteer.
2. According to Carroll Shelby's crew chief Carroll Smith (what's with all these guys named carroll??) you can save your money and cut your springs that have already sagged, instead of purchasing a set that will no doubt sag over time. He also says that temper WILL NOT be lost in this process.
3. I already have replaced my lower control arms with BBK lcs and added a Steeda anti-roll bar. Both were very nice upgrades. Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention the adjustable shocks too.
4. I roadrace and dragrace, but I'm much more concerned about the suspension as it relates to roadracing and the overall feel of the car when I'm cornering at well over 115mph. The springs feel great, along with the rest of the rear suspension...............................however, the center of gravity feels a bit high yet, as I can feel the back wanting to roll a little more than I would like to feel. In other words, i'm not bitching about the ride.....i'm bitching about the ride height.

2. Carrol Shelby, bless his heart, needs to learn a thing about suspension too. No way in HELL I would cut my springs and expect good handling. Hell, the last car he actually designed was what, over 20 years or so ago. Don't even count the GT500 because it's a pig. Call MM and talk to their tech guys. Friendly and knowledgable.
3. IMO, (a)take out those BBK's and throw them in the trash. With poly bushings on both ends, they're made more for straight lines than for turns.(b) Promptly replace with a quality designed arm such as a MM, GW, or Griggs.
4. PHB and T/A. Problem solved to an extent. The inherent problem with our cars is the rear end, but nothing a good set of LCA's, PHB, and springs,shocks,struts won't solve.
You never mentioned what springs/shocks-struts you have. That makes a difference.
