Suspension Question

Kdoggy · Apr 15, 2015

I really want to purchase a full suspension package to make my car drive as tight and solid as possible, what is a really good full suspension package that wont break the bank too much but still give me an outstanding ride. Also lowering springs were something I really wanted to get but reading some threads lately about peoples cars being way to low is kind of have me thinking differently about lowering my car, I just want a super solid suspension that will corning almost anything and handle bumps and rough roads a lot smoother while also making my car feel tighter and stiffer I guess you could say without breaking the bank too much.

tight and solid; not too expensive; outstanding ride...pick one.

Seriously, those "wants" are all pretty much opposed to each other. For a "tight and solid" package check out Maximum Motorsports. I don't really know about not too expensive, other than shopping around and getting things a little bit at a time...and I wish I could suggest something for "outstanding ride".

Yeah I know man I jumping around all over the place, I guess I'm just asking whats a good full suspension package minus the lowering springs that wont break the bank. Thanks for the help though man I will check that out.

Maximum Motorsports makes great suspension components. Their website also has tons of info on picking parts for your ride. Very good resource.

Team Z hands down

flstang65 · Apr 18, 2015

I usually deal with UPR and Team Z primarily.

coletrickle46 · Apr 19, 2015

Thinkn off the top of my head i'd say UPR ( not the top dawg but kinda in the middle n dissent $ ), Raceland ( They are new i think a couple years.. my buddy picked up this kit in for what it is nice! ) makes a coil over kit for the 99-04 stangs and they sell additionally as a kit deal if you want their adjustable camber casters out the door i wanna say $470-$620 tops.., or you could pick up a set of non-adjustable koni str's/basic upper/lower control arms kit for $140ish online n this should be before the rest i listed Subframe Connectors FULL Length WELD IN ONLY!! ( Bolt on's cannot touch weld on's on their best day lol ) and with the weld on sfc's/rear lca kit/koni str's you'd be around $550ish area.. oh, I dunno if you already have a set of aftermarket camber caster plates on your car but if you don't def ge a pair and the best one's are maximum motorsport! the only other ones id use would be either steeda's or j&m's. Hope that will help you and give some ideas n different ways togo!

Oh, and i was going to tell the best place's to go for Stang parts or Stang anything for tht matter lol is Americanmuscle.com and Latemodelrestoration.com . I have used both for awhile now and never had one issue with parts, customer service, and they hook their customers up n take care of em. Another good thing is if you have a question about for example you bought a pair a shocks and you got to a certain point and where like ahh wth?? lol you could call em up and they would get you to a tech in their shop and he would talk to you and do whatever he/she could to help you out and make u ( the customer ) happy!.. That's why i have stuck with them.. Good Service, Really Good $'s, and most of all They Actually Take Care Of Their Customers!!

Thank you so much for your help man I really appreciate the detailed responses and the time you took to answer my questions this has helped a lot seriously. I was thinking about going for something like this 1999-04 GT convertible Sport Box but I still need to do a little research what do you think?

I will check out Team Z for sure man.

coletrickle46 · Apr 21, 2015

@ NightFire, I have been meaning to ask did you start out using Team Z stuff as soon as you picked up your very first 94-04 2v 4.6 or had you used other another brand like maximum, upr, etc.. and weren't happy and landed on Team Z? What about Team Z do you like over the usual players?.. I literally have heard maybe 2-3 people every mention Team Z and don't even remember if it was good feedback or what lol.

Cheers!

I used nothing but MM (Maximum Motorsports) at the beginning and their stuff it top-notch. Over the years I've been hearing more and more about Team Z. After doing some research, I concluded that Team Z was a serious player in the Mustang community when it comes to suspension.
