Mustang Handling

spero · March 13th, 2007, 01:57 PM

Oh one more thing the handling of my mustang sucks I just traded in a Mazda mx6 for the mustang and there is a huge difference in the handling, although I did have front and rear strut braces do I need to do the same?

get some full length sub frame connectors

spero · March 13th, 2007, 02:11 PM

sub fram, sounds big there any strut bars or maybe lowering springs that could help feels like im driving a truck ready to flip over.

I just lowered my GT about a month ago (2" drop) and it definitely made a difference in the ride and handling. In my opinion... a big plus for both!

where do i get springs and does the car bounce like some 92 bubbel back civic slamed

Bobs99GT · March 13th, 2007, 02:39 PM

No bounce... rides much smoother than stock in my opinion. As for lowering kits.. I recommend you start here: http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums...s-vt14904.html

sounds to me like you dont like mustangs... maybe consider trading in for a 92 CRX or something?

spero · March 13th, 2007, 02:46 PM

My best advice: read the forums and make your own conclusions...

just look up "sub frame connectors"..
get the full length ones not the standard ones.

where the red lines are is what they look like

Want your 281 to turn like a bimmer? S/S (adjustable), 1.5 to 2" drop springs, adjustable control arms, sub frame connectors, larger wheels and soft tires (run wider tires in the rear then the front).

Most people go right to the power, I first went to the handling so i recommend you go there. After you can hit the power bolt-on's.

You can do coilovers up front, but i recommend separate struts and springs as you will get much better weight balance.

i think he's talking about strut and shock tower braces

raceruler03 · March 13th, 2007, 05:29 PM

say going with an eibach anti roll kit, is that going to definately feel a difference?

02steedagt · March 14th, 2007, 12:19 PM

Look man, if you want a handling mustang, you need Steeda stuff. I can tell you from experience, my gt with full steeda suspension can turn with 350z's. Check it out.
