New to me 2013 mustang
Hi guys. Just picked up a 13’ gt with some mods and I need direction where to go with the car for performance. It has o/r xpipe, borla catback, C&L intake, sct tuner and AED tune and it feels good.
Suspension/Tire wise it has eibach sportline springs, nitto nt555 g2 Tire’s, and new slotted rotors and ceramic pads with some aftermarket wheels.
Ive read people suggesting panhard bars and LCAs for suspension wise but are they needed for just a summer fun driver car.. maybe the track one in a blue moon. Or am I fine with the spring kit and a good alignment
performance wise.. can I do the beefcake supercharger kit which has the injectors and BAP etc..without any other mods? I won’t need to add long tubes or an intake manifold etc and it’ll be fine?

Can’t speak about He beefcake, but as for suspension I would say this.
Springs alone will be ok for the street. On a road course you’ll find damping and roll control to be inadequate.
At the drag strip, I’m not sure.

If you're on Sportlines I hope the previous owner did an adjustable panhard bar. The axle is probably shifted. I'd definitely suggest LCAs, an adjustable UCA, relocation brackets and the beefier UCA and PHB mounts. All these items will greatly improve your traction and feel of your car, even on the street. My car had super bad wheel hop even completely stock. I have all BMR components on the rear now and the axle doesn't hop around anymore. I went with the solid UCA though (I had adjustable before when I was on H&R Superstreets which are comparable to Sportlines) as I'm on bags now and don't drive that low.

I had wheel hop on stock suspension. It completely went away with Steeda Springs, koni yellow dampers and Panhard bar. I kept stock UCA and LCAs. Car hooks up great sticks while on throttle in the corners.
If that doesn't work for you, then control arms are the next logical step.

Roush uca (anti wheel hop kit) is all thats needed to ELIMINATE wheel hop with ZERO added nvh, lca alone will not cure it, lowering springs will help greatly if not completely also in some cases eliminate it, but the one alone part on a stock car that will totally get rid of it is the Roush uca!
