2011+ specific replacement struts/shocks???

For the few(or many) of us out there that do not want to or can not drop their ride on lowering springs, is there any word out there stating when aftermarket replacement dampers will be released for the 2011/2012 models?

As much as I want to, I can't put my ride on lowering springs due to my city road conditions. When they do I'll be ordering Steeda's HD Strut Mounts for the 2011+ Mustangs. Any ideas?

why not just get the 2010 style mounts and 2010 replacement struts? Your stock springs will fit them just fine.

No 2011 specific struts on the horizon that I'm aware of. Nobody is all hot to trot to do it because it's so easy to just use the older strut mounts. In fact that's what Ford Racing tells you to do.

Thanks for the heads-up. After looking around, I see no one has any specific struts/shocks for the 2011+ 'stangs... only Tokico mentions on their website that they may develop something for the latest set-up. A little odd though that Steeda bothered to manufacture a heavy-duty strut mount for the 2011+ cars...

Yea, didn't really understand that one when there are no 2011+ specific struts out there

I imagine its because there are likely way more spring sales than damper sales.

As of this date, Steeda DOES have specific HD struts/shocks for 2011+ cars.

The last posts were from 7/11. Since then, quite a few of 2011 plus specific shocks have been made.

I haven't been on here for quite some time... At the time, there were no STRUTS available for the 2011+ Mustangs(3.7 & GT's) without the need to replace the strut mounts with the 2010 versions. Koni was among the first with specific units in the Sport(yellow) Struts.

Unless Steeda made a change, they were not offering Steeda HD struts designed specifically for 2011+... I know, because I ordered a kit.

My original plan was to upgrade the struts/shocks, add heavier duty strut mounts from Steeda, and leave the stock springs in place. As you can see from my signature below, that plan went right out the window!
