Just ordered some Max Motorsport stuff

['13_ImpactBlue_GT]

Question for TomMustang

I ordered MM's STB and 4-pt. K-member brace for my GT, is this a good start as far as stiffening the chassis goes? Do you have any experience with them?

One other thing, the car is my daily driver/occasional strip car.

from my experience, and coinsiding from what i have been told the rear of the car is the biggest issue. i see you have SFCs. good start. get those welded in. after that i believe it come down to LCAs, panhard, swaybar (front and rear).

the front of the car really is not that bad to be honest. the k member brace and the tower brace will contribute, however the back end is what really needs the adjustment. case in point: when i take slightly damp turns i tend to understeer, correct with a slight push of the gas and get snap oversteer.... but its your call.

you skipped the shocks/struts/springs, you gotta get rid of some of that body roll too

ive heard good things about both products, and MM is really in a league of its own. only thing i didnt like about MM's STB when i looked at it was it's not connected at the firewall to itself. i opted for the Steeda STB b/c it forms a triangle (is connected all the way around). im sure the difference is minimal if any. plus, my STB was only $107 it was discontinued
Tom, ANYTHING you can do to stiffen the chassis will help. the base mustang platform has a LONG way to go in stock trim.

I know but I only have enough cash right now to cover what I bought and cover the install , then I will get springs, shocks and struts. For springs Ill prob. go with FRPP "C" Springs and Bilstein shocks/struts once I have the cash

I know, are the V6 Stangs handling just as "sloppy"?

worse. no rear swaybar (b/c it tends to oversteer and Fo Mo Co knew amatuer drivers' first reaction is to hit the brakes and turn in a panic situation ) ) i think the spring rates on the V6 are different too. not as stiff.

 

[KronicRacer]

inaddition to not having the sway bar they dont have quad shocks on the v6.

my experience with MM. I have the road & track box kit. All I can say is my car handles on rails.
