fox front suspension

[4eyepride]

so i'm done with my notchback engine and rear end and tranny, its nice and fast now i'm looking at the front suspension the car handles worst than a bus which i believe its bad what can i do to the front suspension to make it handle good what parts should i change???

How about a upr front suspension kit? heard excellent feedback about them aswell as the maximum motorsport kit. . .I only put energy suspension bushings sway bar and a quick ratio rack and pin and it handles way better I can imagine if u go wit aftermarket control arms strut tower caster camber plates coilovers. . Tha would really help

i'm looking at this same thing... and i've come to the conclusion that realy the best way to get real handling advantage in these cars is to shed some weight in the front which means a full k-member ,a-arms, coilovers probably sn-95 spindles, new bushings, while i'm at it and caster camber plates ect. there's more but those are the main things, if you just want to tighten everything i would start with bushings since there the links to the whole front end...i agree, though i'm not sure how a bus handles...lol i due know these cars are no corner carver in there stock front suspension state...ahhhh breath a little long winded today....

Depends on how the rest of the car is setup. If you have it setup for straightline, weight transferring, it'll always handle like a bus relatively speaking.
If you're starting with a stock suspension the following pieces made a dramatic difference:
Sway bar bushings
Strut tower brace
Kmember brace 2 or 4 point
This allows the suspension to do what its suppose to. Add to it
Koni red struts
Caster/camber plates
C-springs - stiff enough to improve without losing ride and lowers it a bit.
But don't forget you need to address the rear to with matching springs and shocks, it will affect the front. Lastly, hopefully you have subframes already.
This is basic. If you want to go more extreme any kit from maximum motorsports or griggs. . . .but you should always do complete packages at this level.

I'd skip over the UPR stuff and talk to Maximum. Depending on what you want to achieve, they can steer you in the right direction. (No pun intended)

Don't go for the UPR stuff. go with Maximum motorsports or Steeda Or even Saleen suspension stuff. These companies have been making mustangs handel for a long time.
