Suspension questions ?

I have a 2006 roush mustang w/the m90 inner cooled charger. I also added 2.4 pulley, jlt intake, stainless headers and x pipe with a custom tune with sniper soft ware. I need advice on suspension and brakes. I am unable to afford new calipers but wanted advice for rotors and pads. Also anything suspension related to lay down the power, having a hard time not breaking loose in 2nd gear ?

Lower rear control arms and control arms relocation brackets will help. Better rear tires 295 wide at least with 200 treadwear or less.

The HP+ is pretty noisy and fairly aggressive in terms of wear with your typical GT500 levels of brake dust otherwise pretty good pad.

Look up Brenspeed, CJPony, and American Muscle. All carry good brands like Whiteline, bmr, steeda, and Max. Motorsport.

For tires look up Tire Rack for information on the best tires. You can look for deals at other places. I wait until Discount tire has a $100 off a set of 4 tires when I buy. I have 4 sets of tires and 3 sets of rims right now for my Mustang.

Tires! its a few years old but still a good read imo

I forget which hawk pads I have but dust isn't that bad and I can't really tell you how many miles are on them. I say stock rotors because they do a pretty good job and you can get them at a decent price. check www.newtakeoff.com

There might even be some for sale in the TMS for sale section
