Need help on my suspension


I need help with my Mustang Badly...

I use to own a 2001 Audi TT that was modified to the hilt. I had everything on it except larger turbos but I still managed to get 327bhp out of the car on the dyno.

Now I own a 06 Mustang and have completed the exterior with the Roush Kit but I want to get my car to handle like my audi in the corners. Im going to Lower the car on the 20"s but will I need to also buy camber bolts, an adjustable panhard rod for the rear, and struts. Or will I be better off buying coilovers for the car. I want to lower the car 1.25/.175 on BMR and want it rock hard in cornering. I just dont want to buy what I dont need.

Can someone help?

I had a 2002 A4 turbo'd and I tell you what, my 07 mustang will never handle like that car did. Honestly I don't ever expect it to though. Audi has the suspension layout handled in their cars.

I lowered mine with the prokit springs, BMR lca's and relocation brackets, and adj panhard so far and it's no even close to being where I want it.

I suggest coil overs like you mentioned, anti rolls, along with the normal pan hard, lca, uca..

The BMR package looks to be more drag racing then street. Would Coilovers, UCA, LCA, panhard, and anti-roll kits be enough?

I was also thinking a lower and wider car handles better in turns. Would it do anything to add 5mm spacers in the front and 10mm spacers in the back and drop the suspension on the floor? I would think this would get rid of any body roll and lower the center of gravity lower for better grip.

I could care less for a car that runs fast and cant make a corner. What fun is that on the street. My true passion is taking corners like im on rails. Maybe I just bought the wronge car.
