Steeda goodies

[jbailer]

Yes, I already have the shock mount and all other stuff you mentioned plus the Steeda rear subframe brace. I feel all these parts made a noticable difference in handling and ride quality in the first a few days after installation. But after I quickly get used to the new characteristics in a few days, I kinda forget how much improvement I have already achieved so far and start to look for the next thing.

I am only looking for modifications with minimal sacrifice in comfort and NVH (or improve comfort/NVH without sacrificing handling). I guess I need to stop somewhere before going too far.

That's exactly how I feel. Of course I always want it a little better but I don't want to make the mistake of going to far and having the car uncomfortable to drive in. Then the wife will always want to take her SUV...

If you ever want a reminder of how good your suspension is, rent a Mustang or go take a test drive in a new one. I rented one once and was like OMG! I can't believe it's that bad! In fairness though my rental was a base and I at least started with a PP.

I've got all those tools, the part i was worried about was getting the bearing in. What about you @terryz ?

I have most of tools too, including torque wrench and all sorts of sockets.

I am weighing between pros and cons.
Pros: reduce suspension binding and allow shock/springs to move more freely. This is always a good thing I assume.
Cons: NVH (don't know how noticable), and installation difficulty. Also you need to go through the same pain to change it back (even buy another set of OEM bushings if you damaged them) if you decide not to like it.

Oh, haha. Well. I paid Steeda to do that part.

Smart man! I may just have to do the same if I decide to do this.

We may also do a detailed video in the coming weeks on the procedure with the trailing arm removed.

Thanks Mike! I'll wait and see the video to decide. I have plenty to do until then. ;)

VERY good eye! It's only a 1/8" spacer, didn't think anyone would catch that one.

What will you use the car for? Any racing or just DD? I just DD and the Steeda Progressives are awesome, WAY better than the stock PP springs. The Steeda Pro-Action dampers are a better match for them than the Konis but they weren't out yet when I bought mine. Actually I think the Pro-Actions are probably the best with just about any of the springs right now.

You got a link for the spacer?

Sure, go to this page: https://www.steeda.com/2015-2017-mustang-springs/

They have 1/8", 1/4" and 3/8". Know ahead of time that the height will go up by about twice the spacer height. So with my 1/8" spacer, it went up about 1/4". The link for the 1/8" spacer is here:

Steeda S550 Mustang Billet Rear Spring Spacer 1/8" (15-17 All)

Very easy install too.
