Which suspension?
Hello, I have a 90 GT to which I will install a suspension kit. I've read about many different kits made by Steeda, Kenny Brown,Maximum Motorsports, etc. What would you reccomend. The car will be street driven but not a daily driver. Money is not a problem.

There are lots of options, but you need to tell us some more about what you want the car to do ... are you planning to autocross or open track the car at all? If you plan to push the car hard in corners you have roll bind issues to deal with, roll center issues, etc.
A really good FAQ about Mustang handling is found at the Griggs website, http://www.griggsracing.com/suspension.html --jp |

Well I don't really plan to participate in road racing events of any kinds. Even If I wanted I can't because there aren't any here where I live! That suck's. I'm building the car for top speed street racing. I need a suspension that is neutral and predictable so I don't have to worry about it at speeds higher than 120mph.
What do you think guys?

IMOHO, for a STREET car, I am impressed with the Steeda kit.
There is a pretty detailed article in this month's 5.0L Mustang magazine. For a more serious (track-duty) suspension, definitely Griggs.

Thanks drudis. I was actually between Maximums kit or Steedas.
I think steeda would be a wiser choice too. Thanks again. What suspension do you have?
