Default Anyone vouch for this suspension setup?

http://www.maximummotorsports.com/in...roducts_id=194

Coming from almost buying a Subaru WRX STi, handling is really important to me. Someone suggested this setup. Has anyone got it on their car or know really what kind of potential it has? Thank you!

probably won't find too many people here with a full MM kit, but, MM is THE authority and top notch product for road/track racing in Mustangs. If I was intending on zingin' through corners in my car, it would be with MM products.

Almost every suspension component on my car is aftermarket, and a good share of them are from MM. Their products are awesome. I've got their panhard bar/torque arm setup in the rear and I'll tell ya right now that the difference between that setup and stock is like night and day. I noticed that kit has the panhard bar but not the torque arm. I don't how much you're willing to spend, but I would seriously consider buying one of their torque arms in addition to that kit if I was you. Also, see if you can upgrade those subframe connectors to full-length ones. I think that with those things you would get the most bang-for-the-buck.

Ive not got a rear setup yet for my car (going with torque arm setup) but I do have a whole MM front end and its a damn nice setup and product. Id call them and talk to then they are very informative and will help you with anything you need.

Also if this is for you 91 LX that is not for your car. Thats for a 87-89 be sure you get the right one.

I also run the MM torque arm/ PHB set up on the rear of my Fox, EODMusstang is 100% correct, it is night and day. I do not advise going with a PHB and no torque arm, the upper control arms are the culprit on there rear of these cars. In order to do away with them, you need the torque arm. If I were you, I would do the whole rear end first and then the front.

Maximum Motorsports has GREAT customer service and installation instructions. Not to mention they offer a wide variety of parts that are harder to come by(like custom brake lines for sn95 brakes in foxes). I've got a fair bit of their parts on my car.

Everyone creams over MM.... but if I had a fat bankroll I'd go with Griggs suspension. They are the ONLY step above Maximum Motorsports.

Wolfe and TeamZ are both nice, but they don't deal with road racing stuff and that is what the OP is after. Griggs is nice as well but more $$ and it is pretty much the same quality as MM.

Try to get some wide front tires on there and still be able to turn with a Team Z k-member. That ****'s basically for drag use.
