Besides the addition of a rear sway bar is there a big difference between the Base V6 suspension and the pony package suspension?

Hey Riggs,

No problem on the slow computer. I have Dial-up and get caught on this from time-to-time.

Right now, concerning your suspension questions, you can swap out the shocks and springs. I would recommend waiting on Maximum Motorsport products. However, if you would like to perform a swap-out before their products are available, I recommend searching our in-house sponsor and discount offers available at:

http://www.partshopper.com/shop/Mustang-Lowering-Springs-69.html


If you do not locate a after-market product that suits your needs here then check:

http://www.maximummotorsports.com/s...oduct_info&cPath=309_318_320&products_id=1078

As for springs, H&R is well ahead of the game. Retaining daily drivability as well as a little weekend fun, I like Eibachi (previous model Mustangs - Not S197) or H&R Sport Springs. Fair warning that if you hit anything over a 1.0" drop without replacing the coil-overs you are going to feel like you are driving a Sherman tank. Not that driving a Sherman tank is a bad thing... If you are looking for retaining daily drivability go with the Sport Springs.

Please let me know if you would like to check on any of the offers available through our Parts Shopper Site.

Enjoy the Stang....

I dont believe that there is any difference there beyond the sway bars.

the great thing is that you can add Mustang GT parts easily and cheaply.

DAMN. I just performed complete ownage on myself. Great example of a moderator NOT READING what a member asked. Guilty as charged, Riggs. I deserve a temporary for that one, bigcat. Carry on Gentlemen. Thank you bigcat and shooterm for answering Riggs.






I will excuse myself now and allow you fellas to answer these questions while I try to locate my attention span and reading skills somewhere in the kitchen (where I obviously belong).
