yea i realize that, but most people who go with a handling suspension go with mm parts. if u look at my last post, i ask if the adj sway bar gives u additional control when corner weightin. i remember reading an article a while back that says that after your done corner weighting etc, its best adjust the adj sway to better evn out the weight or something along those lines and i was wondering if this had some meaning or if it was completely wrong...
i also am not sure if ur saying i made blanket statements? or do u think i am asking for a response which would be a blanket statement?
ionno u lost me man...
but yea this car is going to be a track/weekend car, i am slowly getting parts for it and hopefully will be getting a dd in next few months..

Sorry to not be clear. My intentions are only to discuss ideas and not to bash people who ask questions.

No, I did not mean to imply that you were making blanket statements. Instead that comment was pointed at apexmotorsports or whoever told you about the part combo/sway bar idea.

I have no knowledge of any additional benefits of an adjustable sway bar during corner weighting. I think that you want sway bars off during the procedure to prevent even the slightest amount of gravitational force from being applied through the bar to the opposite side of the vehicle. After ideal weighting is achievied, the bar can be remounted at rest position in the new steady state. Once again, I think the important idea here is that the sway is remounted and adjusted after weight is adjusted. Perhaps someone with more experience on this topic can chime in.

P.S. MM is great, but don't forget about Griggs

MM is awesome, but it seems like Griggs gets overlooked by the Stangnet crowd. IMO Griggs is, dare I say, too extreme for the stangnet crowd and most other mustang drivers. Not to say that MM stuff doesn't perform great either, but a fair amount of MM parts make minor compromises in areas like NVH. Both companies are in the game to make good stuff, so you it's hard to go wrong with either one. A lot of amateur and semi-pro Mustang drivers have won with Griggs stuff (and MM too). Griggs is just another good option that Mustang owners have available to them.

Disclosure* I've never bought any Griggs parts

The install was simple, nothing hard about it, people tried to charge me 250-350 to install them, it took me about an hour with hand tools. No special tools required.
