Default make my mustang ride like a dream!

Hey guys today as i drove my mustang i felt it like shake and giggle a little bit and I still have the Stock Shocks and Struts, But I have the Steeda sport lowering springs with the X2 Ball joints.

Please help im going to buy soon as i can get some info

Fox shocks/struts are the ****....my ride quality is great, just a little bit stiffer with the springs.

How many miles you have on the car? I wouldn't think the stock struts/springs would be worn out as of yet, but look into a set of bilstein shocks/struts, that should help.

One thing about stock mustangs. They are designed to drive smoothly from the factory. Trying to make one 'smoother' is kind of a catch 22. Upgrading the suspension with new, higher performance shocks and progressive rate springs won't really make the car smoother. They will make the car tighter, which sounds like that is part of what you want. But not necessarily smoother. Lower profile tires won't help your cause, either.
