Hi everyone, I just finished my cars first ever real world cruise and it was mostly good news BUT: I have one big problem in the rear suspension area that has to be addressed right away.
I have a stock Mustang 4 link rear with a 8.8" posi. The car has tire rub in a huge way and I need to raise the rear at least 1/2" to cure the problem. As it is now every time the road has a little dip in it the rear wheels contact the wheel wells at about the
10:O'Clock position. It is truly bad on the left side which I think is just due the slight difference in wheel well contours due to the mold used for the body not being exactly symetrical.
Also the car rides so f@#%ing harsh that it just about jars your teeth out when you hit
any kind of roadway imperfection from a little pothole patch job to even freeway expansion joints, etc. They are all met with a SHARP whack/jolt and the ride quality truly sucks! I think that is also due to the use of the
way too stiff Mustang springs.
The bottom line is I need to get the standard Mustang suspension converted to an ajustable height coil over set up with the correct springs for the weight of the car.
I do not race or use the car in any competitive events so it does not need to be "the" best out there, and afordability is a consideration. Does anyone have any ideas on what/who's conversion kit is good and good value for this application and is a "bolt in" rather than a "weld in" job?
I've been looking at a couple of kits for mustang rear conversions from "Competition Engineering" that seem like they might be a good choice. Anyone have experiences along these lines?
Thanks, Don
