The first time I showed up at the track, the suspension had 144,000 miles on it. And the body roll was out of control. Going from a quick left to right turn was quite difficult. So, with the new suspension parts body roll is nonexistent now. There is no trouble with REAR traction, and it is a huge improvement. Are there other things that could be done to improve it, I'm sure there are. This is something I've wanted to do my whole life, and I'm enjoying it nevertheless. Thanks again guys for your adviceA really simplified way is to just take a look under the car at the angle of the front control arms. if they are pointing up from the engine towards the wheel.. The car is lowered to much for the struts. Many springs are made for the street racer look, not so much for actual handling. Never mind that 2" drop in the rear will change the angle of the rear LCA too much. You will have traction problems as well.
Seen a lot for mustangs turn up at the track with slammed suspensions only to find that the cars are slower then they were in stock form.
The fun part sorting everything out and then you start seeing your driving improving and your lap times dropping. Thats what TMO is here for!
