What do you guys think of this setup? This is the setup i just ordered for my second 04 gt. This is for a daily driven procharged car that will most likely never see the track. The car sites on 17x9 and 17x10.5 black/chrome fr500s

Tokico adjustable D-specs
h&r ss vert springs
mm c/c plates
steeda bumpsteer kit

i have a few more parts already sitting in the garage from my previous build that i decided not to use, towerbraces, swaybars etc.

 

Take a good long look at my suspension guide and answer the question right at the top. Suspension mods can be very difficult to do efficiently, so figure out the BIG picture of your long-term needs

Then, pepe my Choosing a new tire guide to get the most of your new suspension

Then, pepe my Brakes upgrade ~ Speeding up slowing down thread to stop your ride

Then, pepe my "Valley of the twisties" link to oooo and ahhhh over my ride which has ALL of the above ..... what?

I used your guides on my 04 project car for the suspension on it . I just plan on budgeting down on this car since this is my daily so ive been having issues deciding what to go with. Everytime i start looking into suspension i start wanting to go all out on it but i just cant do that on this car lol. so im looking for a decent daily setup.

/E what do you personally think of this setup and what would you personally go with for just a daily?

 

Get some control arms as well I'd say. MM lowers, non-adjustable and with the poly/spherical setup would do well for you and allow you to put the power that you have down efficiently enough to make a significant difference. Dont forget to add FLSFC's onto that list as that is the most important thing to take care of on convertibles.

Also, on damper choice, I think you might be better suited to go with a Bilstein HD or Koni Yellows or SRT.r damper than the tokico. Those two are my personal choices for dampers that I would put on my car. I have the HD's on my car and let me tell you...they rock! They are slightly more expensive, but they are well worth it. I mean if you look at the strut shaft on one of those dampers, you'll see what I mean. They are fantastic dampers and give great ride quality and handle awesome as well. Im running coilovers but for the H&R SS's, they will be awesome for as well. Also, the new Koni SRT.r dampers linked below look to be a great choice for someone such as yourself looking for street driving and performance without sacrificing ride quality.

flsf's are already installed on the car, put them on the day i bought this car. all 3 of my mustangs actually have them already since they are all verts lol. I was thinking about arms but if i get them ill be getting adjustable. for now since i wont get to drive the car until like april/may when i get to go home for my 2 weeks leave from this deployment im on i plan on just keeping it as simple as possible since i wont be doing the actual installs myself this time around and will be paying to have everything installed. My hope is that this car is ready and my 04 mustang v6 to 4.6 dohc swap project car are finished by the time i get my leave to have some fun. My other mineral gray 04 gt kb build has already been finished

 

Do you have any thoughts on the dampers i suggested?

 

the yellows or the new str.t's? i run the yellows on my other 04 gt and i love them, just not looking to go all out on the daily driver or it will end up just like my project cars and ill have to buy another mustang which will start the cycle all over again lol.

 

in that case, i'd look into the srt.r's. Koni quality at a fraction of the cost.
