Default some suspension work

I got my panhard bar in over the weekend and after messing with the exhaust I just put in some turndowns, the car is much louder, has a deeper exhaust note, and handles better with more predictable steering. I haven't railed on it too much yet cuz I don't want to hit a patch of sand and put it into the curb or a ditch.

Not too bad other then trying to get the exhaust to fit for a while. Drilling into your subframes takes some sharp drill bits too! I think I wore out a few of them

what other suspension work do you have under your car? i've heard the panhard bar doesnt make that big of a difference unless you really road race the car because we have 4 control arms unlike the new mustangs which only have 3. do you have an aftermarket rear sway bar?


btw, im not doubting you. im just curious.

I have eibach prokit springs , UPR uppers and lowers, and the panhard bar.

The 4 control arms do a very poor job of locating the axle from side to side. in a hard corner it can move up to 2" side to side! (that's the line from MM anyway) I'll know more when I have a chance to get on it a bunch. I bet it makes a huge difference in an S-curve

it is definitely more predictable when I kick the back end around a bit too
