btw Steve,
I cheaped out and just ordered H&R springs and nothing else for the suspension. After wheels, tires, and brembo upgrade, I couldn't afford a complete suspension setup right now.

 

Let me know how it goes. I know on the Z the Swift springs are popular with the stock dampers since they are pretty decent, but the Mustang is just terribly under-damped stock. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on just swapping the springs alone.

 

I had BBK springs on my 99 V6 and it was fine. If not, I'll just have to order the konis

 

Haha, I also had a 3.8l. '02 auto. I was a little ricer kid with Spintech side pipes and Dale Earnhardt #3s on the quarter windows. :bowrofl:

 

all I had on mine was the springs. Mine was a manual, I justified the V6 because it had more power than the old 5.0

It was satin green clearcoat metallic. I have never seen another one of that color on the road.

 

How much space do you guys have between the sway bar and the watts link? If my suspension is unloaded they touch with a lot of pressure (had to put the red bar on with suspension loade) and loaded there is about 3-4 millimeters. Looks awful close

 

It is very close indeed.

 

Well I got everything installed and the watts link set up. I don't get any clunking angling up my driveway or going over a speedbump with one wheel off and one on, but I do get it if I go over a big bump or a speedbump too quick. Need to check and see if its the bumpstops hitting or the watts link. Springs and dampers feel great. Much stiffer and a lot less break dive. Got it aligned to -1.4 camber for the street. Hopefully it stops raining for 5 minutes so I can drive around some!

 

More than Likely it's your rear bump stops. With Steeda sport springs and Koni yellows I have about 1.5" b/w the stops and frame. You can look through your wheels and see the gap.

 

LMAO @ the what a save

 

Yea I cut off the first level of the rear bumpstops. I'll throw some grease on the top to check. The ride is great tho now. Stiffer but not uncomfortable. I can definitely tell a difference in how the rear axle articulates angling up the driveway. I thought I had the rear axle centered but it's a quarter of an inch off towards the driver side so I'll have to fix that. Didn't get a chance to drive in the dry much as its been raining a lot here lately. Can wait to really test it out!

 

I need to cut mine a bit.

 

There is a "Shelby" version of the Fays2 frame that is shorter and clears the stock swaybar at full droop. You can get it from Fays2 or from Shelby.
