Steeda Shock Question

[tj@steeda]

There is no issue with installing Steeda camber plates and the Steeda STB - we designed them to work together.

Here is a video showing the installation - we use the STB & Camber plates on almost all of our vehicles:

that the twin tubes have issues with the gas and oil mixing

The air is in a bladder. No mixing of consequence

Thanks for your feed back.

I installed a Steeda tower brace on my car after I bought it. My shop that does my work, told me they could not install camber plates because the tower brace would be in the way. Do you have a tower brace on your car? Any issues installing your camber plates? Because of this I was going to go with the Steeda camber bolts. These made more sense to me because I was just going to have my wheels aligned to base factory settings anyway, after the shocks/struts and springs are installed.

Also, did you have any concerns with the Pro Action non adjustable shocks/struts being twin tube shock/struts vs what most on this from use being mono tube shocks/struts. From what I have learned is that the twin tubes have issues with the gas and oil mixing, causing shock fade. Again, I will not be racing my car at the track. It is a daily driver in the Summer.

Thanks

I have no issues with the strut tower brace and camber plates, I don’t see how it would be an issue, the mounting bolts are plenty long, I also have camber bolts, just wanted as much adjustment as possible. You should be fine with just camber bolts with the minimum drop springs.
The pro-actions seem great so far, they ride much better than the factory shocks and dampers, I know there are some guys at Steeda that run those on their daily drivers. You won’t be disappointed with that setup. The factory suspension was really my only major disappointment with the GT Premium, to me borderline dangerous, I can easily see how young inexperienced drivers lose control of their GT’s with the factory suspension.

Greetings,

I have done several suspension upgrades to my 2022 Mustang GT Prem. A lot of BMR equipment. The last upgrade I want to do are shocks/struts and springs. I have decided to go with the Steeda Pro Action non adjustable shocks/struts and their minimum drop linear springs. I know there are a lot of different opinions on shock/struts and springs, but this is the best choice for me and what I want out of my car.

My question is this; Steeda also offers their Billet Rear Shock Mounts for around $270.00. Are these really necessary? Wouldn't the ones that came with my Mustang GT be sufficient? They are selling that their Billet mounts are stronger and base GT mounts can break. Which I believe, but again are the necessary? I will probably never be taking my Mustang GT to the track or drag strip, and my use would be for carving up some nice twisty roads and mostly daily driving in the Summers.

One last question; It shows that you can get the shocks/struts and springs pre assembled. Is this worth doing?

Please advise.

Happy Holidays!

I bought the upper billet shock mounts with my steeds setup. I’m also on boost.

Zero need. Bushing is there to minimize nvh. Leave it alone on a street car.

Run stock mounts but use trimmed eibach bump stops.
