So you're saying I need to start looking for new rear tires in the near future, hahaha

Lol, yep.

IMO, the IRS braces are the most critical and the best place to start. Bushings next and vertical links last.

I would be interested if and when you start adding the other pieces to see what you think improves each time if you go piece by piece.

Adding it all at once, really helped me with being sure it's pointed in the right direction as I'm shifting through the gears.

One thing it does NOT help on, is dirty roads from construction trucks leaving job sites. Found that out yesterday as I hammered up a hill right outside a construction site . I don't know why the keep renewing my drivers license sometimes

Hehe this is why I keep my “highly spirited” driving to iRacing. Keeps me from doing anything too stupid on the street. Especially now that they have the new s650 Mustang GTD in the service… this is going to be my ride for this new season of IMSA racing…

Does this mod affect ride quality, e.g. harsher or noisier?

Their product info pages state no increase in NVH... however, I call BS on that claim. The "bars" attach to the rear subframe which is completely isolated by bushings, then attach to the chassis without additional bushings. There is no possible way that this won't increase NVH! I did notice a slight increase in NVH on my car, as have others. The improvement to grip and handling still makes it worth it... for me... YMMV.

I have not felt an increase in rough ride or noise. I usually have my stereo turned up pretty loud reliving my 20's though. I bought it to feel more secure if I mash pedal, and it does do that. I bought a mustang, not a crown vic.

Just got installed, it makes a huge difference! When I would get on it from a stop or even in second gear, I could feel the rear end moving around, making me nervous it was going to break loose. Now, it just feels like it's squatting down and taking off in a straight line. Took about 2 hours to install, hardest part were the support braces, but even that wasn't that big of a deal. If you're a big sissy like me and don't like that feeling of not knowing where your rear end is going, I highly suggest it

Is there any vibration also is drive quality the same or better

No vibrations, and I feel it drives a lot better

Would you happen to have the part number you ordered and exactly what kit you got. Would be much appreciated

Sounds like a good thing to have for spirited driving in town. Steeda doesn't state they're available for the Dark Horse 2024, but it will most likely fit. I'd get it for my daughter and we could install it on her Dark Horse.

 

[tj@steeda]

Yes, fitment for the Dark Horse is confirmed. You can see the install here on our Steeda Dark Horse:

Looks like a worthwhile addition for Mustangs. Going to chat with my mechanic. Not sure if he's done them before.
