Suspension Question

[KM98Stang]

What would be the best set up to have a mean stance and hug the turns? Right now its handling is kinda bubbly if you know what I mean..

get a rear sway bar if you dont have one from the factory ang get a strut tower brace both are really cheap and its a night and day difference in turning.

Thanks man. But what about lowering the the front about an inch?? Would that mess with the turning in a good/bad way?

Haha I'd slam a 40s Ford but not a mustang. I wanna make a cobra hybrid looking 6er, maybe TT, that handles as good as it accelerates.

If you go on latemodelrestoration.com, they have this suspension package that drops GTs 2 inches which is about 1.5/1.75 inches for a v6. It includes the 4 springs, with new shocks and struts with subframe connectors. This pack also only runs $280 which is an awesome deal! If you lower, you want the shocks and struts and the subframe connectors will stiffen the chassis from body roll.

Hope this helps!

That sounds like a great package, but, idk if I wanna lower the back more then ½in because I wanna give it that old school bad ass stance. Is there a way to adjust the ride height to where its 1½ in the front and ½ in the back??

[Horseplay]

if you wana control the ride height you needa save up ur money for some full coilovers. u can adjust those as much as u want . real pricy though. and those springs he's talking about from latemodel wont drop ur car more then 1.5 in the rear. a guy who works there used em on his 01 v6 and his car dropped 1.5 all around .i was going to go with those but i want something lower.

to much of a drop hurts handling~ you want the A-Arms about level with the ground which is around 1.5 inches lower than stock. You want 600 rate front/300 rear springs at last if not stiffer along with good shocks/struts that match those valve rates. Thats a start. The next best place to look into is the crappy lower control arms out back and other things like that

That's what I was looking for! I already know that I wont be able to get back what I put into it, and I'm okay with that lol

It really depends on which springs you buy. If you buy the $80 SVE springs from late model, I would say you get your money back. If you buy eibach sportlines like me, your screwed lol

I'd do eibach over SVE anyday just because of the name, better quality. I wanna try to put together the best parts, without cheaping out so that my car will reap the benefits. 2rwhp here and there or just a slightly better handling package is fine by me.

As far as turning at high speeds- Bumpsteer kit & X2 balljoints. These parts installed with lowering springs and caster camber plates.
You can Google "bumpsteer kit" for explanations/benefits.
