Re: Suspension Mods ?????

Lakewood 50/50 rear shocks are good but best bang for the buck are Strange adjustables.

Re: Suspension Mods ?????

And also, the whole 5.0 into a new V6 mustang isnt really possible. It won't pass emissions standards, I have heard its just not legal, and the new V6 has nearly as much power as the Last 5.0 GTs had. Not to mention the cost of doing a swap like that would nearly eclipse the value of the new GT, and still have a slower car, with tons of parts that still aren't as strong as the GTs. Just a thought.

Re: Suspension Mods ?????

I am calm. Just saw you were new and thought I would share some info. As for suspension, I think any quality shock and spring combo would make you happy. As far as the suspension goes on a mustang, it seems like the more of it you replace the better. I always had the shitty stock shocks and springs on my mustang, but I had a few friends with Eibach spring/shock combos and their cars just seemed to ride better in general. Not to mention they didn't have such a rediculous high stance as my mustang did.

Re: Suspension Mods ?????

Ok. Thanx 4 the info. I just bought the car this morning 4 $800. Since this is my first car, I spent the whole day cleaning it, which was fun.
