it has been a few months since i have bought anything for the stang. so last night i finally broke down and bout some suspension parts tell me what you guys think, did i miss anything, is this a decent setup?

MM fell length subframe connectors, prothane front swaybar endlink kit, prothane front swaybar bushings, prothane offset rack bushings, steeda strut tower brace, poly spring isolators front & back, MM cc plates, MM standard LCAs, TOkico HP shocks/struts, H&R SS springs

 

Sounds like a nice setup for the street.

 

Everything looks good, almost exactly my setup. The only thing I see that worries me is the dampers, with the Supersports, the Tokico HP dampers will be at thier limit. They will work, but the possibility of premature failure due to the spring rate will be greater. If there was one thing I would change on your list it would be that just to be safe. Tokico Illuminas (like what I have) would be good, D-specs, and Bilstiens would all be good choices. Illuminas being the cheapest, I think I paid $430 for all four off ebay.

 

substitute illuminas for those HP's.

 

Forget about the offset bushings, they aren't much of a benefit. As for the end links, make sure you get shorter ones. If you need stock length, keep the stock ones since they're poly already.

 

well i talked to who im guessing was josh on stangsuspension.com's live help messanger thing and he suggested the HP's, I e mailed him to see if i could switch them with the illuminas but i already placed the order so i dont know... he also suggested the offset bushings becuase i have a decent amount of miles on my car and yes i did get the shorter endlinks

 

The problem I see right off the bat with talking to a place like Stangsuspension.com, is that they probably just want to sell you stuff. If you show interest in something like offset bushing, ofcourse they will sell them to you even though on a stock K-member they help nothing. This goes for alot of companies, American Muscle would probably sell me whatever they could if I didn't know any better. You should send all your calls to Maximum Motorsports (or Griggs) from now on. And now I know what your thinking, he just ripped on talking to companies becasue they just want to sell you stuff. But the difference with MM is that they design, test, and improve all thier stuff. Like for example, thier testing has showed that offselt poly rack bushings should not be put on stock k-members, so they don't make offset bushings. Same thing for upper control arms, they don't help, so they don't make them.

Or talk to us before buying, but most of us are still biased, but we won't try to steer you wrong.

 

yah i see what your sayin! well the offset bushings cant hurt can they, i already ordered them so... plus there only like 15 bucks so i guess im not to upset about it! does maxim motorsports have its own website? i tried lookin but all i came up with was dealerships with the same name

 

www.maximummotorsports.com

 

No, they won't hurt but it won't help much either. A bump steer kit will do more but even then, you probably wouldn't need it.

 

thanks for all the input i guess since i already ordered them ill go ahead and throw em on there

 

ok so i talked to them and got the hps switched out with illuminas, i feel a lil better now!

 

NITROUS!

 

ha maybe sometime down the road but not anytime soon!

 

Your going to love the Illuminas, as long as you use them. I have mine set on 3 all the way around for daily driving, 4-5 for autocross, 1 in the rear and 5 in the fron for drag racing. Good dampers.
