Alrightyyyyyy where to begin!
I have officially install all the steeda mods regarding suspension work. I will do a review with everything together and slowly mentioning each component.
When I first got the car I remember driving it into a corner hard and when it broke loose it was all over the place and unpredictable.
First modifications were to get rid of the dreaded wheel hop, I began with the differential bushings and IRS bushings and IRS alignment kit.
Those definitely helped to remove a lot of the wheel hop that came with the car. When launching the rear end felt very solid compared to stock.
The next group of upgrades were the IRS brace, K-member Brace, sway bars and billet sway bar mounts and the sway bar end links. These really tightened up the car all together, especially on handling a lot of the body roll and flex was eliminated allowing me to take corners much faster and more response to steering.
Once those were done, I proceeded with lowering the car with the adjustable shocks and progressive lowering springs, bump steer kit, Vertical Links, Camber Links, Toe Links, and camber caster plates. These group of parts here really transformed the vehicle. I knew that when lowering it the entire geometry would change so I decided to go all in and make sure everything can be adjusted properly for alignment.
Once I got the car back from alignment, the results were unbelievable. Whoever said mustangs cant handle are so wrong. From factory yes they are sloppy, but this is a vehicle that responds so well to upgrades that it completely transformed with all the modifications i did. The handling of the car is night and day. As far as handling is concerned I could not call it a mustang anymore. I had a friend get a ride in it, and the first the thing both him and I could think of is how similar it felt to a porsche as far as handling and the ride felt. The car has very little body roll, you throw it in the a corner and it becomes very forgiving of your mistakes, and allows you to correct with ease. The car warns you ahead of time before breaking loose. When it does break loose, it does it with smooth and predictable manner. Its as if it were a wild animal that now is tamed by its master and listens to your every command. Wheel hop is 99% eliminated. The launches are hard and really push you into the chair, the braking feels like super car like, it doesn't dip the front in and when braking hard it dips very small in but keeps complete posture allow you to break and maneuver quickly if needed. The ride from factory is not as smooth, but its still smooth considering all that's done to it. I could make a 2 hour drive in it and not feel sore or tired. Handling wise the car has become exactly what I want it to be a ultimate handling machine.
I have installed everything myself and if you guys have any questions dont be afraid to ask.
A BIG THANK YOU AND SHOUT OUT TO STEEDA AND THEIR CREW FOR THE AMAZING QUALITY PARTS AND EFFORT PUT INTO THEM!
I am off next to work on the drivetrain!
