steeda suspension kit?

mustang_jim85 · September 23rd, 2008, 04:19 PM

Its kinda early I know but I'm trying to decide what to do when I get my yearly bonus from work. I should be getting around $1500. Would the v6 suspension kit from steeda be a good investment?
And also would it be pretty easy to do all myself?

GreenFaleen · September 23rd, 2008, 04:20 PM

which one, they have a few different suspension kits

mustang_jim85 · September 23rd, 2008, 04:26 PM

Well I was just thinking the v6 basic suspension kit. would it be beter to go another route?

GreenFaleen · September 23rd, 2008, 04:36 PM

depends on what you want to do with the car, road race, better DD feel, drag race ect.

im looking into gettin the Bullit suspension kit from V6 Mustang Stuff | V6 Mustang Performance Parts and Accessories

they also have a eibach suspension kit

i cant see any problems with a steeda kit though

mustang_jim85 · September 23rd, 2008, 05:19 PM

well its my DD. I will probably race a littler here and there. I'm planning on doing some major mods. I'm aiming for around 300rwhp.

mustang_jim85 · September 23rd, 2008, 05:55 PM

hmmm.... decisions decisions lol

at least i have a while to make up my mind.

Onemanzu · September 23rd, 2008, 06:09 PM

your going to put suspension kits on a daily driver??

hmm for some reason i don't see that being the best idea... rough ride, stiff handling... I mean it was great, when we were 16... even being 20 now, old right??

, and riding in my dads 350z i think that its annoying how rough it is

GreenFaleen · September 23rd, 2008, 06:14 PM

if you want a decent weekend warrior get the steeda drag pak stage 1 and stage 2 youll be very happy

Steeda Drag-Pak Stage 1 - '79-'04 Ford Mustang

Ninjawafers! · September 23rd, 2008, 06:45 PM

ill be looking into getting the suspension kit 98stangv6 posted along with a UPR rear upper and lower control arm set from v6mustangstuff for my DD

mustang_jim85 · September 23rd, 2008, 07:47 PM

Haha I drove my friends nismo 350z and loved how it felt. But yea I can see how such a stiff suspension could be annoying.

I think may go with the stage 1 and 2 drag paks.

Thanks everyone. So doing this myself wouldn't be too hard, I mean other than just takin a few hours, right?

GreenFaleen · September 23rd, 2008, 10:53 PM

itll go really easy if you could get a lift to rent from a shop, but for both stages probably 7-8hrs of works. its nothing too hard just get a lot of penetrating oil and use the hammer and wrench trick you should be good. also do it one piece at a time. the drg pak isnt that stiff and give a pretty decent DD feel but you will launch very well at the track

Just depends what you like... I'm running coilovers in the front of my Fox, and while it's kinda rough, I guess, the handling improvement is WELL worth any trade-off. In fact, it probably rides better than it did when I got it.

minigunner7point62 · September 23rd, 2008, 11:08 PM

Whats the air bag for in the stage 2 set up? Do you need stage 1 to use the stage 2?

my dad doesnt like how rough his cobra is... but he thinks his jeep is too bouncy.

he had a buick but sold it...8 cars was just too many

would front strut tower bars make the DD ride worse?

helps with realigning after weight transfer, and yeah you have to buy both stages if you get just stage 2 your gonna have a goofy setup lol
