Wheres the weak link in our suspensions performance

MustangLife · Nov 19, 2004

I'm basically tired of the poor handling of my 03 gt. So what is the weak link or what do i need to do to make it handle better. The car just feels like driving a normal passenger car.

Suspension mods I have are eibach sportlines, kenny brown subframe connectors, and x2c upper and lower control arms, quad shocks are deleted. And I have 275/40-17 khumo ecsta ASX all around.

rear shock tower brace maybe? kenny brown front and rear sway bars?

The old modified McPherson strut set up has it’s limits. It was designed to be a decent working set up at an affordable manufacturing price. Front and rear strut tower braces would help, along with polyurethane bushings in a few selected areas.

Shocks/struts dude...what do you have?

You need something racy or adjustable for the street. You can really tune the handling/ride with the Eibachs/shock adjustments/tire pressures. Serious improvement

I have my Mustang driving soooo much more neutral now...it really sticks and doesn't push nearly like stock. You can even get rid of it if you're kinda' crazy and like a loose car.

Gotta' start with basics....and a good driver!

Those 275s all around on stock wheels (i assumend you have 17x8s) might be effecting your handling on curves. ... just my 2 cents

get a panhard bar. when i went to Howlin at Buttonwillow with the SVTOA, both maximum motorsports and griggs racing said that on a stock ride the first thing yous should to are bilstein/koni/tokico shocks and a panhard bar. maximum took a stock mustang on a road course with movement sensors and detected 2" of lateral differential movement. that is why when you go around a corner you have to constantly correct.

The body of the Mustang is the weakest part of its suspension.
