Best comfort/soft suspension?

[Xavierviana]

What would be the best suspension setup for a more comfortable, softer ride?
(there is a lot of bumps, cracks on the streets where I live)


It’s a Mustang gt premium 2015


Thanks

Maybe change your tire/rims combo to have a taller sidewall and more flex? If you have 19/20 inch rims you can go down to an OEM 18 inch. I dont know of any software springs/shocks.

I have a 2015 GT Premium and have the Steeda Comfort Suspension Package on my car with LMR S350 Wheels 19x10/19x11 Nittos. Car is daily driven and is very comfortable. Car doesn't float on the highway anymore and around town bumps and cracks in the road don't rattle my teeth when I hit them.

Nothing is softer than stock.

Aftermarket stuff might drive better, but in no way will stiffer springs make for a "softer" ride.

Thanks for the info.. did this package lowered the car or is it the same height?

This deserves repeating. NOTHING IS SOFTER THAN STOCK! Don't waste your money trying to soften up your ride with aftermarket parts!

Significantly lower.

Steeda Progressive springs and adjustable dampers set to soft would be very compliant. Soft is lower rate springs which are not sold by anyone.

As stated, nothing is 'softer' than stock. That said, you can noticeably improve your overall ride quality with a mild damper upgrade on stock springs. Steeda Adjustable Pro Action would be good for this at the lower adjustment settings. Keep in mind, that by improving ride quality, I mean that the car will be more composed/less bouncy/less crashy, though may feel slightly 'firmer' or more 'sporty'.

If you're running the tires at 35 psi, drop that to 32 before spending any money. That will make a ton of difference. It did on mine.

Look towards the Koni Active shocks later this year (or early next year). You can also disconnect your rear swaybar, and add Steeda rear shock mounts to reduce some bounce and harshness in the rear. Stock springs are the softest. Yes sometimes correcting the shocks can improve ride quality, especially at higher speeds, but at low speeds the stock shocks are softer than aftermarket ones (with the new Konis being the exception).

2 things.

1; Tires. As they wear, ride quality deteriorates, replacing them makes a big difference. There's also different types of tires, and a type I believe is called "Grand Touring All Season", and I'd suspect their main focus is ride-comfort.

2. Shocks. Replacing your OEM shocks with higher-quality and better engineered shocks would help too. Koni Yellows set on soft would be really comfy, while still keeping body control.

This or I can put you in touch with one of our suspension experts & they can help work with you on package to fit your needs.

Let us know!

I haven’t driven any coupes, but with the vert (non-pp) it rides very good. The only issue I have is the car feels too rigid. The suspension is soft and handles bumps and cracks great, but I’m guessing from the rear bracing for the vert any little imperfections in the road is transmitted directly into the car. I’ve gone from the original 20’s to 18’s which helped immensely. If I get on asphalt especially where it has small ripples etc that most vehicles you wouldn’t feel, It’ll feel like a tire out of balance and sometimes it will get the passenger seat shaking. With the top up it’s worse and in the winter on cold tires.

Is there any rear suspension mods that can help that? Or just a design flaw?
