I have a '16 GT Performance Pack that I'm slowly building for DD & Autocross. I have a few of the basic inconsequential things done but nothing to make real power. I'm back to learning to drive on the track and learning to control the power the car has with basic bolt ons & tune. I've been on the Steeda train for MANY years so I tried their Progressive Springs first.
My first impression was, "wow, they ride softer than my linear stock PP springs.". For Daily driving they do ride much softer and that feels better than the stiff heavier PP springs. In turns they felt great and stiffened up pretty reliably and were predicable.
I had a clunk start up after installing the Progressive springs and with no clear indication of how the sound was being made, I decided to buy the Steeda Adjustable Shocks & struts. :clap2: The sound went away and I never did find out what could be making the sound. :shrug:
I've had cars with Every kind of suspension imaginable but I've never felt such a night and day difference in any car like I have with these two Steeda Components combined on the car. My mustang feels like a completely different car. Stock when I hit a tough bump in the road the car would either float or bang hard in the front and then the rear. This is usually dependent on if I was able to compress or lift the suspension before bump impact by playing with the throttle.
With this new setup the Mustang feels like a well Tuned M car. I know that's an odd comparison but now the entire car feels like it absorbs the road all together without any herky-Jerky motion. Turn in and rounding a 70* turn on the track feels much more stable than I've ever felt in a Mustang and even most of the M cars I've driven.
Steeda's Jigar has set me up pretty well with my parts and has been a wealth of help. Since I hate talking on the phone 95% of our communication is via FB chat.
I'm ordering the trans Bushing on Monday and I'm installing the Adjustable IRS Diff Bushing kit this week. Hopefully after my Anniversary in August I can order the TriAx shifter.
