Help once again with lowering car
#12
Yea mine is a DD and ive driven for about 2 years on this setup and is fine, as long as your mid pipe ( or LT's) are installed correctly and dont sag you'll be fine, just take it extra slow over speed bumps.
I just got J&M CC plates, im planning on taking the fronts out and doing more of a drag race oriented coilover/ tubular K member setup

Thanks for the help and info guys! So the bumpsteer isn't really bad enough with this setup to really need any sort of bumpsteer cure? If not that would be great, because I am on a pretty strict budget(I am still in high school) with no job other than detailing cars and mowing yards. I'm not going for perfection just yet, just wanting it to be good enough for now and when I get more money later on after the Magnaflow Tru-X X-pipe I will do it right with X2 ball joints and bumpsteer kit, and possibly tubular k-member and a-arm kit.
But again thanks guys!

Well see I have already ordered everything haha..and you got your alignment in spec without CC plates?? Wow..I wouldnt have spent $200 bucks on them if I knew you could get a good alignment without them. Oh well

Im gonna be running the h&r race springs which dont lower near as much as the super sports, but I woud think the same would apply. They also said to run the stock style urathane rack bushings with the stock k-member.
as far as the bumpsteer kit I have a direct quote from maxium motorsports about that. Im putting the road and track kit together and asked about getting the steeda x2 bal joints and the bumpsteer kit and this is what they said.
MM quote
( No bumpsteer kit is needed with the Road & Track Grip Box. While many people claim that lowering a Mustang causes a
bumpsteer problem, that is not true; it is a myth. If you are a serious autocross competitor, adjusting bumpsteer can be an aid in
fine-tuning the handling of your car. Otherwise, it is an unneeded complication to install and adjust)
(While the X2 ball joints are a good idea in theory, they only improve the roll center height by a very small amount. Any
small benefit gained by the small improvement in the roll center location is offset by the negative consequences of replacing the
stock low-friction ball joints with the X2, which is not a low-friction design. The low-friction design improves both ride quality
and handling.)
I was planning on doing the bumpsteer kit and x2 ball joint but now im just gonna replace them with moog parts. hope this helps
