2012 mustang gt. It is pretty wobbly on the road. Been involved in two car accidents and has 80k miles now. So I think it is time to change the stock struts and shocks. What is your best recommendation? I would like to race the car at the 1/4 mile strip. But I also want it to handle well for canyon runs and daily driving since the car is my wife's daily driver now. My daily is a 2014 evo x gsr and I miss the v8 sound and power. Question. Can I swap the automatic transmission (6r80) to a manual transmission on my car. Are there any kits? How expensive would it be?
It's recommended that you upgrade your stock shocks and struts, but not required. Lowering your car on stock suspension will give you adverse handling. I personally went with Koni sport adjustable. Rides close to stock.
@@donovansimison9336 ultimately you always suffer ride quality whenever you lower ur car but I had no problem with my wheel set up, I had Indy firehawks 500s as my street set up and it was good enough.
It would be nice to just be able to get a rear kit.... springs.... panhard bar etc. I just want to lower my rear 1" and keep the front as is. We have 3rd world infrastructure in my area (too many potholes), so I don't wanna have my front any lower than it is.
I had 20"s on mine for a while as well and honestly you can get away with just about any spring without rubbing as long as you have the right tire (IE- not too wide). I would recommend staying in the 1.5" drop range though for the best results. -Justin
Gursh Effect #2k I have 20x8 up front with 255/30 & 20x10 rear with 285/35. tires are toyo proxies. I'm on SR but might go with Steeda for better handling. that or adjustable coilovers so I can balance the car with me in it
Probably be important to note you have 20" rims (which isn't stock) on half these cars. If you're running 19's guys (which would be recommended for acceleration), these will look different on your car.
I'm sorry- I stand corrected. ALL of the wheels in this video were 19"s, I just double checked. So your initial comment is technically incorrect. But I agree with you in saying we should state the wheel size in the video for future reference, so thanks for that. :) -Justin
Mustangs aren't ricers and shouldn't be slammed. Not sure why anyone would want their tires rubbing the fenders. Engineers spend millions and years designing ride height for a reason.
1.3" in the front and 2" at the rear isn't slamming the car... It levels the car and is a great setup if you want to take your car to the track or curvy roads. Especially if you upgrade the rest of your suspension. And for the record. The s197 was setup with budget in mind. I have pp and it still didn't handle well until I completely upgraded the suspension. No wheel hop and planted on the curves. My biggest regret was to purchase the pp since I did a complete overhaul.

what's the tire set up on that Stang
Koni adjustable struts and shocks are a good choice. If you like to corner hard .
2:20 heater hose mod?
I believe that is a part of the fuel venting system.

New suspension cant fix a shitty driver
It might just be time to learn how to drive carefully - (or just learn how to drive) 😂😂
No love for the Pedders? I was considering them, what are your thoughts on them.
I got them on mine I love them. Great for hooking up. My number 1 spring for strait line performance
is it necessary to change the centers of gravity if you have the original ones?
I put Sportlines in and the rear axle measured perfectly centered, do still need an adjustable pan hard?
great video. the SR springs make the Mustang much better than the Eibach sport springs.
Thanks for watching! -Zach
Can I use the stock shocks, or its recommended I change those as well?
umiringains that’s what I’m wondering

@@carlosg2677 i7 Yu iuuu7
Ii
Why is it that the SR says it fits 2005-2014 and eibach has different part numbers for 2005-2010 and 2011-2014 ?
Is the same for the gt 500 ¿
What tire size do you recommend with sr springs and 19x9.5 rims
I have 18inch wheels and a massive gap in the rear what would you recommend?
freddiedog12 Eibach sportlines. I just got em they awesome
Do they ground out on speed bumps?
@@donovansimison9336 no never had a problem with them. But switch to a drag spring eventually.
@@freddiedog12 honest to God, thank you for letting me know.!!!

Eibach are they able to fit on A 2010 because the video is titled 2010-2014 but on website says no
Can I use robach sportlines on a 07 gt with 20 inch rims

You can! In fact BMR is a company that does offer the rears by themselves- check them out on the site! -Justin
2010-14 Ecoboost? lol.
I have 20in wheels on mine, what spring would you recommend for a wheel that big without rubbing?

Actually Matty most of the wheels you are seeing in this video are 19"s. Hope this helps! -Justin
Most isn't all ;) should be noted.. otherwise showing pics isn't giving customers an accurate description. I'm being very meticulous but it's true

Hold this L boi

H&R CHECK THEM OUT THERE SUPER SPORT SPRINGS LOWERED MY S550 1.75 INCHES

Everyone has their own opinion of ride height! I love the classic muscle car stance with the back-end being higher than the front, personally. -Zach

Hey Zack will u have to get bumb stops for those springs
wrong and loud
Wt color is your mustang
Do tires and wheels matter?
You definitely want to check that your current wheel and tire sizes will have proper clearance when lowering your Mustang. 👍 -Zach
AmericanMuscle.com thank you!
sup
Hey. -Justin
