My Canyons


Well, I usually dont' post in this forum since I usually find the answer. While doing some research, I can only find a partial answer into the question I have.

So, I don't plan on having the mustang set up solely to go into a straight line. We all know the suspension sucks and so we need to add a lot of money into it. Not a problem. I currently have H&R SS springs and MM CC plates. Before I go ahead and add more to the suspension, I decided to go into a canyon road last night to test the car and find out what should be done. The springs helped alot on taking the corners even though the car has a lot of body roll. That of course can be fixed with new sway bars, full underbody brace, strut bars (front and rear) and yes, I plan on getting new struts and shocks as well. The real issue I had though was to the specific road. usually, the roads are completely flat even though it has many turns and hairpins. This road though was not flat at all. it had many ups and downs (small bumps) which caused the mustang to jump in the air. Now I am wondering on what I should do towards the suspension. It makes me wonder if it is the live axle that causes that. Can anything be done to the live axle to fix that problem? any other suggestions? Or do I need to go with the Cobra IRS? I rather not go with the IRS due to the bushings but...If I have to then I must. Otherwise, I will get a Subaru WRX/STI

No, no bump steer at all actually. More the car flies up in the air and I hop off the seat. I want to say that because of the live axle, hitting a bump on one side makes the whole car jump at high speeds.
