Taco Bill shows all

Steeda Competition Springs (linear rate) will lower your Mustang 1" in Front and 1 1/4" in Rear. The Competition Springs are stated to have the highest spring rate available, yet I find them compliant for anyone who wants their car to handle like a race car. The steering response is amazing and with the stock shocks these springs will truly liven up the handling.

Above: "Taco Bill" (infamous great guy) posts everything as a "how to" on The Mustang Source. If you are not already a member, you may have to register to view this link. If you own an S197 (2005 or newer Mustang) you are doing yourself a disservice by not visiting that site.

With a low profile jack, a torque wrench, some basic hand tools (metrics too) you can do this in your own garage in about 4 1/2 hours.

You will also need Camber/Caster Bolts (see instructions) + alignment.

How I went about doing the suspension...
Well, first I called everyone and nobody wanted to "waste their time" explaining anything until I got a hold of Marcello at Silver Horse Racing and he told me to walk in my mods. "Walking in" mods is rather taking baby steps to approach the desired result. If you have tools and are fairly savy, this is the way to go. If you are limited and require a shop, you need to educate yourself and take the leap. I purchased the springs from SHR and have been very pleased. With alignment car is neutral and smooth.
