So these are my questions the guy who built the car, I believe built it just for a track car, I dont go to the track I just enjoy driving it as a fun car. Alright he has these suspension mods done to it. Sub-Frame connectors. Adjustable upper control arms, and SouthSide lowers. 50/50 rear shocks, and 90/10 front.
When I turn the car it tends to be really hard to turn, I love the way the car hooks up when you push down the throttle, but I want it to be able to handle better around the turns, not like a f1 car or anything just a little better turning. How can I do this and still have excellent straight line traction?
More straight line traction then turning!
It is a 1988 mustang lx.
Thanks realitycheck

It sounds like the car is set up for straight line only....those shocks are not good for street driving but great for straight line only. Is the front swaybar still there? attached? That is a major difference in handling if disconnected. You really need to let me know what you want from the car? If you are not intending to drag race the car then you need to start by making sure that the swaybars are there and attached and change out the shocks and struts.
