Hi,
I got installed an Eibach-pro kit springs/front and back sway bars and tokico blue shocks and struts.
After installation, my car feels anything but smoother... feels more bumps...
I'm not sure if they break in or what but can anybody advice me?
What should i get for better ride control? take off the sway bars? get better what?

thanks all

Doesn't all that stuff usually stiffen up the ride making the performance level alot higher?

Lol, that's what they're supposed to do. When you upgrad your suspension, you are trying to eliminate body roll. That is when the car takes a hard turn, the body of the car stays level with the road and doesn't dampen the suspension to one side. So, you feeling all those bumps and stuff is exactly what should be happening. Your car will handle much better in turns, try it out. Take a turn at a good amount of speed, without being stupid about it, and you'll see what I'm talking about. The ride quality may suck day to day, but just accelerate into and out of some turns once or twice a day and it'll remind you of why you bought that stuff.

I just did the same thing (did you get your parts from stangsuspension?). The ride is stiffer for sure, but it tracks a lot better and more neutral in corners. Mine's a 97 gt convertible...

Yup... was in the freeway and rolling pretty fast on turns and nothing...
pure stability....i think i can even drift now...
Anyhow... i think the shocks will eventually soften up a bit as they feel much better now.
when i'm ready for launch i'll get a drag launch suspension...

thanks people for the replys
i got my suspension through a buddy who gets it wholesale, i did get my steeda pulleys via stangsuspension.com ... i went to college with the guy
