Re: Front tire size/Reaction Times/Mustang 5.0
Right side higher? Now you look like a stocker! Yep, that's preload.

Re: Front tire size/Reaction Times/Mustang 5.0
Try doing a little research into what was/is available as far as spring rates. If you can find a heavier rate with the same height, put it in the right rear with the air bag.

Re: Front tire size/Reaction Times/Mustang 5.0
The taller the tire, the better. Phoenix 26.7" roll out is about the max to fit in there without any cutting.
1 Cargo Coil spring in the R/R and a pair of bags will even out the stance of the car along with weight location. Shocks will control the rest. |

Re: Front tire size/Reaction Times/Mustang 5.0
If I get the Team Z bolt in anti roll bar should I take the airbag out?

Re: Front tire size/Reaction Times/Mustang 5.0
The Air bag or anti roll bar will help, what RPM are you leaving at?, Try leaving higher.
That little motor makes no torque, so you need to twist the rubber band more, how much air in slicks

Re: Front tire size/Reaction Times/Mustang 5.0
Yes. The adjustment will now come from the preload you put into the ARB. The bag is now useless.
