So i got around to installing my MM Adjustable LCAs. I got F'd in the A on a few thing in the project.

...To get to the chassis bolts i had to move the exhaust.... while moving it, 2 hangers snapped....i gotta go get some things welded tommorow.

...Then to top that off when the whole project was finished my Big S.T. Sway bar was less than an inch off the ground....it looked dangerously low and when i tryed to drive out of my driveway it got stuck and Ripped a slice in the Road....Didnt do shit to the bar because its so damn thick and strong it didnt even scratch it. I realized i need to get a stock style sway bar.

I was gonna by a Eibach online but hunted down on Craigslist and came up on a Cobra Sway Bar for $30!!! Fits just fine and handles just the same. The MM arms feel great and make the rear end so much stable. Stock LCAs are BS.

...anyone want a S.T. Sway bar for $45? :thumb:

handles crazy well in the rear now....you can tell there is alot more traction on the road.

Cobra sway isnt as sick as the S.T.

...i need to sell my S.T. Sway.....

I didn't have any problems with my exhaust when I done my lowers. Was it the muffler? Or the tail pipes? My exhaust is dumped before the rear axle, so that may be why I had no troubles.

I just did the bushings and I could feel a difference...nothing like you guys are but it was still a little better than stock. I think thats going to be my next mod is getting sub-frames and LCAs to help plant the rear to the ground more. :pimp:

what do you guys suggest doing as far as suspension.... my car is mad scary at higher speeds.. anything over 100 is pretty scary.

if i go over bumps, i feel like a boat going over waves.. the front bounces sooooo bad.

the only thing i have as far as suspension is lowering springs. i want some struts/shocks.. what else do you guys suggest? (handling and suspension wise without spending a million dollars)

get a good set of shocks/struts trey it will feel much better. i am planning on going w/ strange. Good pieces and a decent price. Then if you want the rearend to hook up subframes and lcas. Sway bars to tighten up body roll. etc

yeah i just want my car to feel more stable.. not necessarily at high speeds even. just overall, i want my car to feel more solid and not like a blob.

Cool man, isn't it amazing the difference with the MM part.

Agree - stock suspension is a joke.
and Cheap is a very relative word when talking suspension.

Did you notice you made my sig? :)

Yeah. This is not my first MM part so i know the amazing quality. Anything else but MM Suspension on a mustang is almost a Joke. Suspension cost $$$ but in the long run, its WAY more fun than Power. My car feels like its complete now. The rear end feels 100% more controllable and i feel like i know where its gonna go....i am about to go test it in some canyons right now.

...and yes White is The New Black
