Firm up an 04 GT


  

bryantwalley -> Firm up an 04 GT (3/9/2008 6:07:49 PM)

I would really like to firm up my GT.  I absolutly hate body role.  In curves and hard lane changes it needs to be a lot stiffer.  I dont ride on any harsh roads.  Mostly interstate and hwy.

I do not want to lower the car if there is any way around it.  Just a really firm spring and shock package.  Any ideas?

I would suggest a few basic suspension components for you to get started.

1. Springs - Maybe the Ford Racing C springs - http://www.stangsuspension.com/store/comersus_viewitem.asp?idproduct=259  They just barely lower the car, and have a nice firm spring rating... but still comfortable on the street. If you add some polyurethane spring isolators http://www.stangsuspension.com/store/comersus_listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=111 it will really not lower the car much at all.

2. Shocks & struts - if you really want to decrease body roll you will want a somewhat firm valving. You can try the Tokico D-specs http://www.stangsuspension.com/store/comersus_viewitem.asp?idproduct=600  These are an adjustable shock & strut kit, which can help you to fine tune the stiffness you want.

3. Swaybars - many aftermarket Mustang swaybars are thicker than your OEM swaybars and will help reduce body roll. Eibach makes a nice front & rear swaybar kit. The Eibach kit includes much stiffer front & rear bars, polyurethane pivot bushings, and polyurethane swaybar endlinks. http://www.stangsuspension.com/store/comersus_viewitem.asp?idproduct=285

Those 3 items should get you pretty far!

Sincerely,

Well, IMO the best way to achieve this is to get some lowering springs. If you do that, then a k member and coil overs.
