handleing question

burin_rubber · March 9th, 2008, 07:45 PM

ok so i want my car to handle better in the turns department and try to eliminate most of the body roll how would i go about doin that

whitemustang02 · March 9th, 2008, 07:53 PM

a rear sway bar, spring / shoks
how extream of a set up do you want?

HMUSN · March 9th, 2008, 07:55 PM

sub frame connectors as well.

mustangjeff1997 · March 9th, 2008, 07:56 PM

yea, that's what I would suggest. Get some eibach's and a good sway bar and you'll be set. Maybe some coilovers if you want to go a little bigger...

Ok thanks guys

any time

Definitely you'll want Subframes and shocks/struts, but that's fairly vague. It all depends on what your goals are.

What's your budget?
How low do you want it?
How much does ride quality matter?
Street only? Street/Auto-X? How much Auto-X?
Do you want your setup to be easily upgraded?

There are a bunch of questions that can help us point you in the right direction.

i would suggest a strut tower brace and lowering springs before shock/struts.....

1. There is significant debate as to whether a STB does jack for Mustangs. It's definitely not a cornerstone of Mustang handling.

2. The key to Mustang handling is increased spring rate, so any spring you buy that is bought with the purpose of significantly increased handling should be a notably higher spring rate than stock. As a result, you will need better shocks and struts. When the goal is handling, springs and dampers are not two seperate steps.

The overwhelming majority of real Mustang Auto-X and Open Track racers would disagree 100%.

Watch out on that rear sway bar too,depending on what diameter you get it changes how you turn and what you should do when you spin out in a turn. its not just an automatic traction contraption so youll never have to worry about going into a curb again. which ive done...
