Just wanted to see if any members own a 05-09 Mustang. Got a few questions and Id rather ask in my own backyard before heading to a different site.
2004 :)
Hey Ask Away I've got a 2008. It's a 4.0 v6 with a 5 spd stick. And I drive the snot out of it. It's absolutely amazing how fast it is. I've already found out it will out pull a 2010 Camaro with a v6 from a 65 mph jump and run to flat out. not by much mind you but a win is a win. Maybe GM overstated that 304 hp a bit. The only thing I've added to my Mustang performance wise is full duals. They made a difference you could feel in the seat of your pants! I also know quite a bit about the GT as I wanted one but couldn't afford it.Cry

What I'm trying to find out is, will upgrading the Struts and Shocks improve on the stock 2006 GT front suspension. My suspension feels very clunky and it absolutely hates rough roads.

I'm kicking around ways to make it a little smoother over rough surfaces. Sounds as if there is something lose in the front end.

Anyone ever heard what I'm talking about?

Like I said mine is the v6. But I can tell you It does make some clunky noises especially over rough surfaces. It sounds like your struts could be worn but with less then 100,000 miles there should be no reason for that ? So if it's to stiff you can go to softer springs and struts at the expense of handling capabilities. One of My drivers has a GT and it is very stiffly sprung. Hope that helps

I was told to switch to Roush struts and Springs, but I'm trying to see if I can accomplish this nicer ride without killing my bank account. Was hoping something was comparable to Roush.
