What are some suspension mods.

[Nineonesix]

Other then a few more performance mod, I want to focus a little on suspension. I hear that the axles are the weak part to are rears, so if I do like the upper and lower control arms would that make the matter worst. What do you all suggest and where to get them?

 

[ford911]

i did upper and lwr control arms, full leagnth sub frames, 2 inch drop, front and rear sway bars, strut twr bar, rear shock twr, and am doing the axles now in that order and think it is a lot better/more fun to drive.

Where did you buy that all. Is it that much more noticeable driving on street. Rougher or softer ride? Ive never done any suspension in any of my mustangs but im curious now.

 

[ford911]

its a little rougher sine its so low now, but looks awesome. i got a lot of it from american muscle since i have always had great luck with them.

Would doing this without the axles first cause more strain on them?

I was thinking about doing the axles last. Ive heard 31 was the best to go with though.

*edit* also is there any real difference between the j&m or steed control arms?

 

[ford911]

i have ran that set up minus the axels for a year no problems. i put the 31 spline axles and eaton diff, now i just let it rip. going with the eaton diff is probably the most cost efficient way to go and haven't heard anything bad.

Okay here is what im looking at now. Tell me what you think.

Upper and lower

I figure thats a good start.(?)

The detroit true trac is the best posi on the market. Of course thats my opinion.

 

[ford911]

not a bad start, but you will want to think what you want long term to decide on adjustable control arms or not.

I wouldnt know how to adjust them even if I got them lol. So I dunno if the extra money would warrant the performance in my case. As long as the ones I suggested are better then stock and help somewhat.

 

[ford911]

they will help for sure. you could lower it for pretty cheap also if you wanted to just make sure you get cc plates.

I figure I would have enough for just the stuff I posted not springs and cc plates just yet. Would lowering a car help with times as well? Sorry for the newb questions but ive never messed with suspension before.

 

[ford911]

it'll lower the center of gravity so will help, but more important will look soooo much better lol.

Okay I thought thats what it did. Now whats better just the 2 point or 3 point brace? does it matter much? Again this is my dd

 

[ford911]

i just did the 2 point from am for 90 shipped can really beat it

Get the adjustable control arms and adjust them to your stock control arms for now, then take it to a shop and have them set it up
