yea I'm looking to improve my handling, i just purchased a new drive shaft to withstand the 475rwhp I'm putting to the ground, now i took it to the track she runs pretty good and i made it to the finals but the 2 things that are killing me is it has so much power in the front end it hops up and i almost take off on 2wheels. 2nd my rear wheels spinning out and my rear end fishtailing when i shift, and I've lowered my suspension as well for those punks in camaros who pull up to the light and want some on the street, and so that i can take turns better too. so I've been looking at strut/sway bars and anti-roll kits and i just wanna know if anyone out there knows who has the best quality and price. Thanks.|||I highly doubt you have that much horsepower. Haha, just kidding. In a drag race you want the front end to come up so it can transfer the weight to the rear. While the other poster had the right idea he explained it incorrectly. You would want stiffer springs in the rear and softer in the front. It depends what you want to do. Do you want to drag race or go around corners? If you drive it on the street your suspension will be a compromise. It's tough to have the best of both worlds. Definitely replace the rear control arms and have the torque boxes welded. Definitely install subframe connectors as well, Mustangs are known to flex a lot. Also install a good locking differential, like an Auburn Pro, Detroit locker or something like that. If you have that much power you need to put it down using both tires. If you want to go around corners I would look at griggs racing, they are awesome. http://griggsracing.com/ Steeda, saleen are also very good. Grab a Summit or Jegs catalog as well. They have tons of parts for Mustangs. There are also very good articles at http://www.musclemustangfastfords.com/in鈥?/a>
Sorry if I came off harsh before but there are so many silly posts on here. 475 rwhp is a ton and a car like yours could run in the 10's. That is real fast. You wouldn't have to worry about much on the street. That's why I questioned you before about beating a diesel truck. You should be able to annihilate a diesel truck with the kind of power you have. I would dyno your car to make sure what the guy told you was legit and not trying to rip you off. With that kind of power you will need to look at the clutch, trans and rear. Those pieces stock will not withstand that kind of abuse. Not sure where you live but if are in the Philadelphia area I could definitely hook you up with some dyno time and get you in at the track. Post some pics and/or video of the car as well, I want to see it! Good luck with the car, have fun, be safe and waste every Camaro you can.|||Steeda makes great suspension parts for high horsepower Mustangs.|||Have you tried drag radials when you drag race people? They work wonders for launching.
If you want to get more traction during acceleration, you want stiffer springs up front and softer springs out back. This will cause the car's weight to transfer to the rear wheels and traction will be increased. However, handling will suffer. You really have to make a compromise here. What is more important, drag racing or cornering?
For parts, www.truckperformance.com has reasonable prices, and yes, they do carry Mustang parts.
