Steeda's New S550 Mustang Tension Link w/ Bushings (2015-2018)

[Grintch]

Product Benefits:
Increases steering wheel responsiveness
Decreases body roll
Improves tire contact patch with the road
Increased cornering grip

That it does all of these seems a bit of a stretch, with essentially just stiffer bushings/reduced deflection.
Increases steering wheel responsiveness - makes sense, less slop in the system
Decreases body roll - don't see it
Improves tire contact patch with the road - don't see it
Increased cornering grip - don't see it, maybe a little dynamic improvement

Thanks for the info. I'm about to upgrade to the PP brakes, might as well put these in while I'm in there.

Update: did some time trials this past weekend at the road course after install. I dropped 3 seconds off my previous best. The front of the car was better planted and the tires did not make any noise from understeer as it did prior to install. Very happy driver.

If a person is only lowering the front .5" do they really need the lateral links? I like the price of the tension links on their own a bit better but I don't want to have to get the lateral links later when I could have just done it together.

I have these on mine and I can confirm that does all of these. You can definitely feel it in the steering. It feels much stiffer and you can feel the front tires making much more contact than the over cooked spaghetti stock ones do.
