New Supspension

Installed Steeda Pro Action shocks and struts, Steeda Ultalite springs and a BMR Panhard Bar. Alignment went of without any issues and no camber bolts needed. Changed the handling completely. I am liking the look and handling

Handling feel good? Good control? Good for street or are you also tracking the car?

So far the handling is superb!! Took my favorite on ramp today and with the stock suspension it was about the bob and weave and today it was like being on a rail........ Very happy so far!

Nice! Did you have the track package previously? I have been pleasantly surprised so far with the handling of mine but I will likely get an adjustable setup over the winter. Car looks great lowered!!

Looks great man. Let us know how it handles after you've put a few miles on it. Any plans to hit the track. You can't get a cali special w/ track pack dmichaels. Its the only thing I don't like about the cali.

Actually they can't be swapped, and it's obvious the calipers are different. Not trying to be a stickler, just a fact.

GT500 top mount or CC Plate? How did it take you on the install? Looking at doing some yellow's with BMR springs and Adj PH.

Little stiffer but nothing I find objectionable.............. If you think a Mustang should ride like a caddy you wont be happy. The handling is no comparison to stock....

Great feedback!

Thank you for purchasing our products and glad you are enjoying them.

If we can help you with anything don't hesitate to let me know ... if anyone is interested in this package then we can get one ready for you ... minus the panhard bar.

Best Regards,

TJ

Wondering if you hear any clicking. You were lucky not to have your stock mounts shatter on you, but most switch to the gt500 mounts since they are beefier. Thicker rubber and wider bearings. Then you would have had to get the older pro-actions though.

I am between these shocks and koni str.t's (mowed this over for quite some time and I don't want adjustable). I like the idea of having all steeda. Obviously steeda had tokico valve them to match their springs. However tokico is known for being more harsh than koni and my main priority is maintaining the ride. I don't mind rough (I have an RSX Types-S dropped 2") but for the 5oh I'd rather not feel every bump and road patch and lane reflector. I want better lateral stability and more confidence and control, without killing comfort.
