i just read a review of the mustang saying that the suspension is different for 18 inch wheels than the 17 inch wheels...is this true? can someone answer this for sure? im thinking of getting bigger wheels but if the suspension is different then id rather get the 18s...crap.

if you mean stock from the factory, then no. that would be insane for ford to have a diff. susp. setup depending on your wheel size. think about it, the cost would be astronomical

Mine came with 18's and the suspension is (was) no different.

i was just thinking about this earlier but can't find the post i read it on. i can't remember what was the exact difference but there was a thread regarding the stock 17" and 18" wheels and if i'm not mistaken there was something different. i'm not saying it's the suspension i just cannot for the life of me remember what it was....

I thought maybe it was the way they tuned the shocks/struts or something like that.

There is no difference.

only from V6 17inch to V8 17"/18" . . .

and i believe its only a panhard bar. . . thats it

There IS a difference in the tuning. Call a Ford service rep for details. I'm not sure exactly what it was, but I do recall reading that there IS a difference.

Yes it is different. The springs I know were "softened up" for the 18" 64'w I have on my '06. This is information straight from the factory (I think it was Kazinti or something like that on the Blue Oval forum I tracked it on). He works at the factroy and I had a hold on mine when it was being built and it was for the suspension required for the 64'w. (18" polished) He looked into it and I was told then that the springs were softened up because of the shorter sidewall. They may be more done. I stopped careing about the hold when it was released...
