If you've owned a V-6 mustang you know that the suspension is a wreck. Driving that car is like navigating a 220 ft barge through rough waters.

My intentions:
1. Give my car a meaner stance.
2. Keep my car's geometry from going to hell (which is what most drops do.)
3. Add 10-20mph to tight corners.

My Solution:
1. Stick with motorcraft and FRPP parts. (just my "thing")

My Conclusion:
1. Happy with the drop.
2. Happier than a pig in **** with the performance.
3. Even happier still about the ease of install.
4. A corner I used to be able to take at 45 (with mild skipping) I can now take a 70 (with hints of skipping) - 25mph increase in corners!
5. The BULLITT handling kit is a great upgrade for the price!
6. ... and most importantly, my car's geometry wasn't ruined in the slightest bit, if anything, it's much improved.

Now I just need the bump steer kit, x2 ball joints, lower control arms, sub frame connectors, cobra brakes, and a front tower brace and I'll be knocking a minute off my lap times.

Here's some pics from the install:

Even more

 

awsome man!! very very sweet, I was thinking abotu suspension stuff too, but due to certain "events" i had to buy bumpers....but thats sweet, did you cut the rear springs at all?

 

Heck no, left everything as ford intended it. I'm not 100% happy with the drop, or lack there of, but I wouldn't change the tight a$$ feel for a million bucks!

 

yeah still sits a lil high...i have the same springs, but i like the height because I plan on longtubes..

what tires are those

 

The springs will settle down a bit after a week more or less. I plan on getting the same springs tired of scrapping on everything but those days are numbered.

 

Sumitomo HTR-Z's 275's in the front and 315's in the back.

 

I'm starting to think the lack of drop is from the lack of weight in the engine compartment compared to a gt. I know a stock bullitt sits lower than my sixer is right now, and I don't think a stock bullitt has any other lowering addons like performance control arms or different ball joints.

Oh and by the way venom, there's very few instances that I like the clamshell body style (the name I use on pre '99s, post foxes) but you just did it right! The only car I really like in that body style are the white cobras for some reason. I think they are just gorgeous!

 

Very nice, i'd have to say the best looking v6 i've ever seen.

 

heres my fav v6 ever

sorry ice

 

Ya that's awesome, but the money difference is drastic.

 

mach1's have an aluminum block that is light as crap, so the weight difference there is not much. Just give it a week or two to drop

 

i actually think ice's still looks better. only thing that i really like on that other is the "real fire" paint.

by the way ice, whose mach 1 is that in the back??

 

heh ya and 300+lbs over my car.

 

That's my buddy ricks mach. Him and his girlfriend both have machs. his is azure blue, hers is shadow grey. He's got frpp cobra r's on his and she has aftermarket deep dish mach wheels on hers with nitto drag radials (for around town, she's retarded lmao)

 

Very nice 6-er. You really did it right. bFunny thing about car like that is that you can have punks in Civics at lights that won't even try to race ya. The car looks too fast and like there might be some money under the hood. No one would misstake it for a 6, that's for sure.

Great job. All you guys with 6'ers, this is what you should aspire to.

 

It will drop a little more after they settle a bit.Like others said give it a week or two.It took awhile for my H&R's to drop the way I wanted.

 

Seriously you always have pretty inspiration comments there man. I really appreciate it! I'm doin the best I can do with my sixer, being 21 and a workaholic, I could afford the car payment, but not the insurance.

 

Stuff some of your friends and go out for a spin to help settle it quicker.
