Your Thoughts on the 2015 Ford Mustang's Suspension



Those of you who have test-driven and/or bought the 2015 Ford Mustang have noticed a few things about its handling hardware.

How have your experiences been? Are you enjoying the ride quality? Noticing any wheel hop?

I test drove a 2015 with PP and compared to my 2014 with Koni yellow Steeda sport springs. It felt like a big heavy Cady! Not impressed at all and you can feel the extra weight " Big time". Wait for the 2018 because Ford "will' drop the Voo doo in the standard GT! You've all been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, no kidding. Adding IRS alone won't fix soft springs and under damping. Thank God for aftermarket

Great review. I haven't driven a '15 yet but I'd expect that this would be my opinion as well.

IRS is such a great component of the new Mustang but it will certainly change the feel. Like you said, pros and cons but I'm sure, as a whole, the '15 will feel better than an equal model '14.

If you add coilovers ? IMHO your 2012 Boss will feel just as good as the new S550 Mustangs with IRS
