This thread will probably be moved to the appropriate section, but with all of those modifications it's hard to understand exactly what you are asking. Is your ride too stiff or is the highspeeds pushing you around? These cars aren't the most aerodynamic so if that's the case you might look into modifications to increase that... perhaps you are in need of an alignment? You probably aren't going to get a luxary car "feel" out of this car. If anything your modifications probably only made your ride stiffer.

Can you better describe what you are feeling and at what speeds? With your mods I would suspect that your ride is a little harsh over highway pavement at high speeds, and unfortunately there is nothing you can do if that be the case. Great handling struts/shocks/springs are just rough, besides having adjustable ones and making them soft, there is not much you can do.

Bet the compression/damping of that shock/spring combination is not complementing each other, hence the loose feel of the car.

This guy races Stangs, ask him for advice (Sam)
