When to Replace Your Suspension

A suspension component doesn’t have to be broken to warrant an upgrade. Long before your suspension will fail, it will start to get worn and tired. The change can be so gradual that you may not notice it. However, if you pay attention to the warning signs, you’ll see that your suspension is no longer as effective as it once was and may need to be repaired.

Upgrading your suspension can also improve your handling. Fox Body Mustangs have a lot of chassis flex, which makes cornering a challenge. With simple modifications like a sway bar, you can decrease body roll and improve your cornering ability.

There's no doubt that Mustangs look good when they're lowered. In addition to looking good, lowering your Mustang can have handling benefits. That is, if you do it the right way. Lowering springs and shocks and struts that are designed for a lowered Mustang can improve ride quality in addition to giving you a lower center of gravity. Or you can use coilovers to lower the height of your Mustang and get a firmer, more dialed in suspension feeling.
