Non lowering springs

[markleigh]

Yea, the drug dealer / Puerto Rican bad boy look is probably not quite right for Sussex and besides, it involved a) drilling and b) losing too much boot space.

But at least no one can clamp you...

or flat bed you :lol:

Not my thing, I wonder what the ride is like.
What happens if you get an air leak ?

Small concern. I'd worry more about the $2k of body repairs every time you forget to straighten the front wheels before getting out. LoL

He doesn't drive it like that; that's the whole point. Speedbump - up she goes.

As for silver wheels; what's not to like ;)

Bingo, it's active ride adjustable.

As for silver... once you go black; you never go back ad my Corsa had black... so could never go back :shrug:

Not entirely sure that phrase was coined about wheels...

I think the basic ride height is about right for day-to-day stuff; though I intend to fit 20s, I think I'll have to lower it an inch to return it to the height it's at now. Not sure if just springs will do the job at the moment.. I'd certainly look at a pedders-style install to be able to tweek it

I've seen this car in the flesh and chatted to Ed.

It's fully adjustable but he sets it to low when parked, it does look very cool. It can be raised much higher than standard I believe.

It's not a cheap option, not sure how much though.

I can't afford to lose any ground clearance, but am keen to improve on stock performance.

Would you guys have any ideas for suspension options which might stiffen but not lower the Mustang?

Rural living means a farm track to the main road and a 5 inch minimum ground clearance otherwise I start to beach it.

For about 5 minutes I was toying with a "fully bagged" air suspension thing as that can go a bit higher (and much lower) than stock . But it is, sadly, a bit of a daft solution:


Livin' the dream.

ill never understand this look

Bingo, have chatted to him on facebook before about them, they're pricey as fuck iirc.

I was bored today so I put my car on ramps and decided to dial in my pedders.From factory they are set on 8 from hard.
The ride has been transformed but maybe slightly on the harsh side. So I moved midway to 15 and wow what a difference.I would say it's like stock but obviously without the bounce at the rear.They really soak up the potholes, before they went through them with confidence but you felt them.I might take them back towards hard a couple of clicks, but really happy with them.

Thank you - very useful to know!

Speed bumps and bad roads around here would kill that.

From what I've learned about these things you are seeing it "slammed" in those photos. ie, fully down to the ground. Normal driving clearance is higher, which is the big selling point of these systems, they can adjust the ride height on the fly.

Air suspension is a funny one. I completely get the skepticism because air suspension has been, in the past, pants. For me "airing out" or slamming it is just a by product. Its not what i did it for. 90% its at its normal driving setting. Which is low but not stupid, still extremly usable. 5% push a button and raise it for speed bumps etc and the other 5% slam it for some pictures.

As for the ride quality its far better than standard and seems to handle similar to mid-range coilovers. Its expensive but for me its the price of ultimate practicality.

I am tempted, could I have a look over yours one day? I live along the A272 so it's easy to get to you.
