HERE IT IS. THE SUSPENSION PAGE. WE HAVE A LOT OF GOODIES HERE. MM BILSTEIN COIL OVERS, STEEDA X2 BALL JOINTS AND BUMPSTEER KIT, MM 1.2 LOWER CONTROL ARMS WITH SPHERICAL BUSHINGS, ENERGY SUSPENSION BUSHINGS ALL AROUND, INCLUDING A-ARM BUSHINGS AND END LINKS, MAXIMUM MOTORSPORTS CASTER/CAMBER PLATES(4-BOLT), STEEDA STRUT TOWER BRACE, MM HD TORQUE ARM AND MM PANHARD BAR.

First order of business was to dissasemble the front end. I wish I had more pics of the disassembly. It was very time consuming, and my patience grew thin on more than one occasion. I had to walk away for a day more than once. In the end, it was all worth it.

First step after removal of the front suspension was to install the caser/camber plates. These allow for more adjustment on lowered vehicles.

Next was the a-arms. I had new Urethane bushings and Steeda ball joints pressed in at a local shop. I helped them out, and they helped me out.

Originally I had a Tockico HP/H&R Race Spring setup that was great. These two pics below depict that old set up. You may see them on a few other pics here and there until I filter them out with new pics. The setup was great, however I love this new setup even more. Downside is, you gotta pay to play......

NOW FOR THE NEW STUFF. Maximum Motorsports Coil-Overs, Maximum Motorsports Heavy Duty Torque Arm, Maximum Motorsports Panhard Bar, Maximum Motorsports Rear Sway Bar, Maximum Motorsports Rear Control Arms, and Maximum Motorsports Full Length SubFrame Connectors(not pictured). This setup is amazing, and something I would highly reccommend to anyone looking for a good time on some twistys, or for that matter, the San Diego freeway system on a traffic free day.(GOOD LUCK)

Here are some pics of the front and rear coil overs. Make a note that if you do a MM coil over kit, you need their Bilstein shocks and struts, or you will have to send them in to get notched for proper installation. Notch Pictured.

Next are some pics of the Torque arm and Panhard bar. I will get a better Panhard Bar pic soon. With the Torque arm, you no longer need the Upper control arms, and requires removing the dogbone. It welds to the Subframe connectors, and mounts right to the axle. It prevents the axle from twisting under hard acceleration and seems to take a lot of stress off the driveline and lower control arms.

The panhard bar makes a large difference in the axles linear movement ability. By limiting this movement, the rear end becomes more predictable, and sticks to the road under hard acceleration through corners.

These are the new lower control arms. As said above, this setup no longer requires upper control arms. I went with the Maximum Motorsports lowers with spherical bearings on the axle side. They also don't have spring perches, or factory sway bar mounts. Makes for a nice clean install with the coil-overs and sway bar.

Heres a little teaser. The wheels are actually Ford GT wheels with Mustang backspacing and bolt pattern. Don't confuse them with the FR500 wheels. Close, but a little different. They will go on next season for a while.

Awesome car. Last year of the 5.0? Very cool. That's the longer list of mods I've seen, dude. I didn't realize the production numbers were so low that year. 5 Stars!
Check out my 07' sometime.
