Koni Yellows, Steeda Sports and more
This past weekend I finally completed the suspension mods to my 2013 GT with 6-spd Auto and Brembo Package. The mods included Koni Yellows(adjustable), Steeda Sport Springs, Steeda Heavy Duty Upper Strut Mounts, Steeda adjustable UCA & Mount, BBR Billet LCAs, FRPP LCA Relocation Brackets,J&M Adjustable Panhard Bar and Steeda Adjustable 1¼” Tubular Rear Swaybar.
I still need to take it in for an alignment and also havethe pinion angle checked and adjusted. The improved handling and stance are amazing! The new UCA & mount, LCAs and LCA relocation brackets really plant the rear wheels to the ground during launches, with very little wheel spin, and no squatting or wheel-hop.
Below are some photos to share.

Thanks man! It was a lot of work, but worth it! BBR Billet LCA's or Steeda Billet LCA's are fantastic. The same BBR LCA's you see on my 2013, were also installed on my 2008 Shelby GT and my 2012 Boss 302, so you know they're well built.

Thanks TJ! From what I can tell my stang handles great and it's everything I expected. I'll soon be calling Matt L. at your Pompano location to schedule the alignment and pinion angle check with the Matt in the Service dept. Thanks again!

Any more input after driving around a bit? I'm likely going to go with the Koni Yellows shortly after getting my car, have heard nothing but good reviews so far.
Car looks excellent by the way!

Is it a rough ride then? Can you adjust the shocks for a "softer" ride? Trying to get a better idea of what I want to do with my car and one of the issues I have with the Track Pack suspension is how bouncy it can be on some roads. I'm not expecting luxury sedan ride, just not that constant up and down on some roads. I've read that new shocks are the answer. Which, if I do that I'll probably just do the springs at the same time.

I have the shocks set to their softest setting. It's much firmer than the OE Brembo Package suspension, and definitely not too firm for someone like myself who prefers to feel the road more. My wife actually loves riding in my stang, especially with its comfy leather recaro seats. However, she's given up trying to get much reading done while cruising. Maybe you can find someone with similar suspension upgrades and do a ride-along.
