Might as well? Steeda upper strut mounts?
Planning to get some Steeda Sport springs, and Koni SRT.T struts. I already bought some GT500 strut mounts on sale. CJ POny parts now has 2005-2010 HD strut mounts on sale. Should I go ahead and get those, or just stick to my plan of GT500 mounts and camber bolts? I'm assuming that the 2010 HD mounts are what I would need since I'm changing struts on my 2011. I hate to keep sinking money, particularly when I could put that toward a new set of tires!

If your lowered, i'd have a race shop look at your current tire wear and camber angle. I'm lowered an inch on the Saleen springs, and i have a bit more tire wear in the inside of my front tires already, indicating that for the street, I am already in good posture for corners as it is, without camber adjustment.

Depends on what your plans are. Do you want a more aggressive Mustang that can handle and ride better?? If your answer is yes then might as well all get it done at once to keep install time/money down. Tires down the road would be an additional improvement.
IMPO I would rather have the suspension upgraded and then move towards tires. It is all based on your budget. PM if you have any questions? Thank you TJ |

Thank you TJ As I understand it, with the Steeda mount, I need to use the rubber portion off the GT500 mounts? Would I be better of getting some caster plates instead? |

Am I correct that with the upgrade to Koni shocks, I need the 05-10 mounts rather than the 11-12 mounts?

You would need the GT500 upper spring isolators with any shocks/struts other than our Pro-Actions shocks/struts. Let me know if I can get those mounts for you. :) |
Brandon, I already bought a set of GT500 mounts on sale in anticipation of this job. The sale price on the HD mounts got me thinking of what ifs.... I don't suppose you can match the CJ pony parts sale price on the mounts and Sport Springs??
YerBuddy, car looks great, even on stock wheels. The lowering made a huge visual difference. |
Safetyfastgt,
Brandon will provide you with pricing in the morning. I think he can get you some better pricing. Best Regards, TJ Give him a PM just to remind him |
