Hello everyone!
I have been on this site about a million times trying to learn the ins and outs of suspension and the parts that make mustangs handle really well, and then I decided to finally make an account and ask some questions for myself. For some context, I am a college student that has been blessed enough to own my dream car, an '11 GT, for a little over a year now. I haven't spent too much money on the car yet, as I was trying to decide whether to go the drag or track way with the build, but I now know track is the way to go. I am trying to do this build, for now, on a budget because car parts aren't too kind to the wallet of a part time working college student, but I also want to make sure I use quality parts that won't break. I also can't go "full race car" yet, as this is my daily driver for probably another couple of years. So, after looking through what felt like a million threads, I came up with the following for my car:
Wheels and Tires
SVE R355 19x10 with 285/35 tires (still thinking about what tires)
Suspension Components
Ground Control Koni Sport Strut Coilovers with 500/250# springs
BMR Adj. Lower Control Arms
BMR LCA Relocation Brackets
H&R 32mm Adj. Front Sway Bar
CorteX 18mm Rear Sway Bar
Steeda Adj. Panhard Bar (Eventually want a watts link, but not too fond of the price)
I took inspiration from a lot of pages and threads, and I think this should work well on a budget. I know that CorteX and other higher end coilovers are better but are the GC ones okay? I would love some input on the items listed from some people that know more than me, because I have only a base level understanding of suspension at the moment. Any input, including on tires, is very welcome!
