I think the bushing supports and alignment kit has helped mine but I don't go hard launching my car all the time either so with me it is really hard to tell. If you saw how poorly the alignment is from the factory you would understand why the bushings were a great addition. For the price I would do those two things every time.

I don't tend to launch on the street much but the car will get a pretty serious hop sometimes even if you don't launch, but just hammer it if the roads are cold (thanks pzeros). It also will get the shakes during an aggressive 1-2 shift. Pretty much any time it spins it hops pretty good

I don't have a ton to spend but if a couple hundred bucks would make a big improvement I could justify that.
[MENTION=10893]David@Steeda[/MENTION].....will just those two IRS pieces help much?

The vertical links are more for stability of the IRS than lowering. Another piece to reduce the hop.

Hey Brian,

The most immediate impact would be the IRS subframe bushing support system, the subframe alignment kit is a no brainer (doesn't reduce wheel hop but gives you peace of mind that your subframe is aligned), and the IRS subframe support braces. Your wheel hop should be about 90-95% eliminated based several customers' feedback

Awesome, thanks. I'm going to add the subframe bushing supports and subframe alignment kit (since I'll be in there and it's cheap) to my order. Hopefully I'll Get a noticeable improvement with just those. Subframe support braces will probably come down the line if the other things don't help enough.


I went in the website intending to just order a $9 clutch spring and wound up with almost a $500 order. I've gotta get off that damn website lol.

sounds good, bud!

I placed my order but now I'm wondering if I should've done some more research first. BMR says their cradle lockout by itself is as effective as the Steeda support bushings, alignment inserts, and the subframe braces combined. Any of y'all have experience with the BMR cradle lockout?

eh, of course they are going to say that. That's advertising and marketing. I'm not saying anything bad about BMR but I've had such a phenomenal experience with Steeda, who was a factory Ford race team, I have no reason to go anywhere else.

I agree. I love all of the parts I have gotten from Steeda and they work like a champ. There is one thing I will order from BMR and it is only because Steeda doesn't carry the part.

I never saw the BMR guy bash Steeda at all. In fact he praised Steeda's quality on several occasions that I saw (which is nice to see. Good sportsmanship Says a lot to me IMO). He just said he feels his parts work better. Which I get....they're his parts. It seems a very high number of members here also praise their lockout kit and I just haven't read much about the Steeda IRS parts is all. But David has been great to work with (goes a long way with me), has a lot of confidence in his product, and I'm happy to see several of you guys have had good experiences with their stuff. So I've got a decent sized order of Steeda goods coming and I'm very excited!!!

Any of y'all going to cars and coffee tomorrow? I've never been but think I'd like to check it out.

I should be there at the beginning. I'd love to meet you. They are saying it will be a really big turn out.

 

[Dizzle58]

I really want to go but if I tell my wife that I am doing another car thing for a few hours she might serve me with divorce papers

 

[DarkSubRosa]

I might carry my mustang on my back and go

 

[SVTDSM]

I would go but mine is on Jake stands (pun intended). :lol:
