Default Lowering questions

This is for all the members who are running lowering springs
and aftermarket front and rear springs. Do you also have new
balljoints like Steedas X5 to raise the roll center, A control arm
relocation kit Like Steedas to lower the center of gravity, A
bumpsteer kit to control the change in toe angle caused by
the suspension moving up or down, offset mounting bushings
for the rack+pinion steering to raise it up and/or upper strut
mount caster/camber plates? How far do you have to go with
the aftermarket lowering fixes to lower the front and rear 3/4
of an inch with matching Struts and Shocks? Roush by the way.

For the love of God edit your sig. We don't need to know what friggin floor mats you have.

I have the Rossmustang.com K-member, which adresses roll center as well as a bunch of other issues. I also have K-Mac camber/caster plates. At 3/4 of an inch I wouldn't really consider it an issue.

Are you fricken happy or just **** about posts and whos posting
them. You a moderator? I thought not. Go moderate the bathroom
at the Waffle House if you like to moderate so much.
Yet no answer to my initial question, just putdowns.
Gotta love this forum. NOT.

Wow...some folks are touchy! [:-]

I have the Ford Racing suspension package. I think it only consists of lowering springs, special shocks, front and rear sways and a strut bar. No other changes. The car rides and handles great!

Wow! I love a good pissing match! 157db, you probably won't need all those fancy parts for street driving, most of those kind of suspension mods are for people who are real crazy about precise handling, mostly guys who race. So consider doing this, springs, shocks & struts, adj panhard and a good rear anti sway bar. That is a good starting point. If you want more after that, Then do whatever pleases you. A lot of those fancy high tech parts are not even recommended for street use.

And not to be a smart *** but FRRP are aftermarket parts. Does not matter that Ford Sells them.
