What else would you add for handling?

[haze324]

Hey guys what else would you add for street driving. This is my weekend "fun" car....a 2021 A10, with a stage 2 whipple. I don't hit the track, and don't drive like a complete jack ass, but do enjoy the car. Currently I have:

- Michelin PS4 tires
- Steed adjustable shocks and struts
- Steeda progressive springs
- Steeda stop the hop kit
- Steeda cradle alignment
- Steeda rear shock mounts
- Front camber bolts with -2 camber

I have a set of BMR rear diff bushings that I need to install and am considering a larger rear sway bar (im in an non-pp car) and maybe some vertical links. Not really sure I need the vertical links or maybe I need something else? I'm looking for the best "handling" driving around town.

Seeing you have a non-PP, I've read people observe a noticeable improvement after adding the OE PP bracing (Front strut bar, cowl brace, lower K brace).

Do you have Michellin PS4 or PS4S? They're different, and even PS4S aren't the pinnacle of handling.

Tires (and driver) are 90% of handling. If the tire won't hold the road, then the rest of the parts can't help much.

After that from your list I'd do swaybars, they make a big difference in feel, even on the street. What they don't do is give you a massive bump in grip like tires can.

If you have the adjustable shocks, have you messed with the adjustments on them much? That can be a big change in feel too.

Sway bars definitely

I'm not sure what your tire size is, but some meaty tires upfront and back make a huge difference. I'm running 295 front and 305 rear and it definitely is a noticeable difference over the 255s or whatever was on the stock 50 anniversary rims.

Steeda IRS braces are great - shit finish, but functional product.

Swaybars are a great addition. Look at a quality brand though like Ford performance, eibach or others. I'd steer clear of any painted or "powder coated" steeda components. Their finish is susceptible to premature corrosion.

Your car is lowered. I’d highly recommend these. I was shocked at the improvement in cornering.

Lighter weight wheels if you haven’t yet. Aero up front and rear. Rear seat delete or any weight loss regiment. Brake upgrade.

I have a 2017 with Roush Supercharger, Ford Track shocks and struts with Steeda linear springs. Stop the hop, vertical links and have run both PS4's and Nitto 555's but never felt like the car handled like it should. I have some road racing background. In a big sweeping turn when getting back on the gas it always felt like the ass end wanted to step out snd overall just didn't give me the confidence I wanted in the car. At that point in time the car was a daily driver. Last October I bought a second car (Honda Civic SI) and decided that since the Mustang would be weekend and car shows only that I'd put Cup2's on her.

Kaboom........ Everything I'd done came together and the difference is night and day. I'll put another set on when these wear out. I'll take the mileage hit for the grin factor anytime. We have a lot of great country roads here in Missouri and I'm really enjoying them now.

Beautiful car!

Thank you. I'll be 80 this August. Puberty is hell.

Tires are the least sexy, but by far the most important mod that can be done on a car.

Thanks guys for all the input. I'll be honest, I haven't really gotten "on it" with this car to feel what's needed. I just know in my other cars I've thrown a ton of the suspension work on them and they handled well enough for spirited driving.

I'm considering adding sway bars next and then seeing if there's anything else I need after that. The toss up for me now is either 1. go cheap and just toss on some GT350 bars that bolt right up, or 2. splurge and get BMR adjustable, end links, etc. and spend money that perhaps I really don't need to.
