Suspension???? New to me!
Hey everyone....its been a while since my last Stang but I got the bug again. I have a 90 LX and a couple questions. First off...I was reading the post on putting 4 cylinder suspension in a 5.0. What does this accomplish? Does it make the dar mushier in corners? Does it lower the stance at all? And last but not least what is the purpose of the swaybar and what happens if you remove it? Give me an engine and I am fine but all this suspension stuff is new to me!!!!! Thanks

A set of 4 cyl springs will help your car with weight transfer when launching. I am unsure of the "mushiness" in corners as the only applications I have heard of someone using them on is for straight line. The sway bar is to help keep your front end in check. When removed, the car gets squirrelly at high speeds. This will also help in weight transfer, as it lets your front end come up easier, putting more of the weight at the rear tires. When you break and turn, you will notice a bit more dive in the front end. If it is your daily driver, and you dont mind crawling around corners, I say remove it. I have mine off of my 90 gt, but then again I dont drive it every day. Its not a huge difference, unless you take corners like speed racer, or drive it on the freeway alot. The suspension in my 90 is crap anyways, so I never really corner very hard in it.
