Koni STR.Ts and Steeda Sports installed

I did the "Sam Strano approved" lowering package, Steeda Sport springs, Koni STR.T shocks/struts, and Steeda HD camber plates.

It rides as good or maybe even a little better than stock. Absolutely no extra harshness.

Total time to install: 2 hours 5 minutes (2 guys, we had a hoist).

Here's the result:

Nice mustang and set up. Did Sam say you need a adjustable panhard bar? Are you think about any front or rear sway bar. Thansk for the info about the ride. I going with Sam's set up or thinking of a Roush Stage 3 system.

You just helped making my decision to go with steeda sport instead of ultralites. Looks great.

I recently just went to the Str.t/Steeda Sport combo as well. LOVE THEM.

My only complaint is that I drove the car with the stock Brembo suspension for just about 7,000 miles.

No more bounciness, car stays flat, and it looks so much better. The ride is actually better.

For me, it's a perfect setup. Do it!

How about a sale on those D-specs! I'm trying to purchase some for my 11' CS. I already have your ultra-lites.

That looks good, Fast 351. It will probably be a year or more before I'm ready to put some more money into the car, but that is exactly the setup I want.

Wow that car looks great!! So are all 3 of those parts recommended for a drop like that? Can you just get the Steeda springs for now and have a lowered look?

Same thing here. Better handling, better looks, after installing the KONI STRT & STEEDA Sport springs. This should be the first thing to do to the Mustang to improve it, Is a must.
THANKS SAM!

I DId just the Drop springs....no Struts or Mounts.
(I used FRPP springs though)

Ride is fine...stiffer but NOT harsh at all! Great first easy mod until you can afford to do it right and go with the STR.t struts.

Funny! the Wife has no idea I put on the springs cause I did it the week I bought the car.....
We went to a friends house for ThanksGiving dinner and she said...."I love how smooth and comfy the ride in your car is"

She is used to driving her 03 Mach1 with H&R Drop springs and bilstien struts.
(Again, I have stock struts and FRPP P-Springs on my '12)

Looks great. Wish the Koni Yellows (Sports) weren't on a nationwide backorder.
