Not trying to be an ***... but what did you expect? It can't be that bad.. they don't even lower the car that much.
I think you will probably get used to it..and will see that the improved handling far outweighs the annoyance of feeling the road a little more.

I'm not quite complaining about the ride quality because it makes me feel uncomfortable. I can deal with just about anything when it gets to that. What worries me is how bad it is for the car itself. I can change shocks every once in a while etc, but then if I start seeing cracks on my strut tower that's going to be a different story. Anybody seen that happen on a S197 by the way? I've seen it on another car, but never heard of anything like that happen on a Stang

it's funny because i've been getting a lot of that crap too, but evo and sti drivers that i raced and kept up with would always end up throwing thumbs up at the end. that's before i got the handling pack Ford made a major improvement on a Mustang's handling on this new bodystyle.

I cant wait to lower my car. Im looking for the stiff rough ride.
So was my girlfriend. Which was why she chose me.

Sorry I just couldn't let that one go.

Thats why I went with the Tokico adjustables. These things ride like crap stock, I can't imagine it getting worse. With the Tokico's, the ride is DEFINITELY better than stock. Sorry to hear about your troubles. Give them a few more weeks and if they don't break in, I would sell those on eBay and pick up some Tokicos.

You'll get used to the stiffer ride. I had mine installed before I ever picked up the car, so I don't know what the stock sys rides like. It is still better than the aftermarket suspensions that I installed on my former Stangs.
