Linear and progressive lowering springs have a different style of compression that leads to substantial differences in handling. This means that depending on your build, one may be a better fit for you than the other. Are you a racer looking to get the absolute best handling when it comes to their Mustang? Linear is your answer. How about a daily driver and occasional weekend cruiser? Progressive is your go-to.

We really dig the look of these CJ Pony Parts springs on our 2015 GT. The lowered look screams, “modern,” while the raked look screams “old school muscle car.” Best of all, with the Maximum Motorsport Caster Camber Plates installed, we’ll be able to get our alignment dialed in perfectly. Installation is a little more involved than those Mustang owners who may be used to doing lowering spring swaps on solid rear axle cars, but definitely do-able for the do-it-yourselfer.

When it comes to modding your Mustang out, many get to the point where they’re happy with how the car performs both in a straight line and on the twisties. However, it doesn’t stop there. Next up is weight reduction, and there are two sides to weight reduction with distinct goals in mind: sprung and unsprung weight or mass. Being a very important key to how a car handles under high load cornering G’s, unsprung weight will become your worst enemy. Getting educated and using that knowledge to figure out what’s next for your build can get you to the top spot at your next road course session.

Before you lower your Ford Mustang to achieve that aggressive stance that you know and love, you are going to need to make several suspension modifications. Though some owners skip this step, adjustable panhard bars are essential towards keeping your rear axle centered when lowering your Mustang. Purchasing a new adjustable panhard bar is a small price to pay to ensure that your late-model Mustang’s rear axle will remain stable, in spite of all your high-performance modifications down the road!
