so i finally installed my suspension on my 2013 5.0 yesterday. what a difference! i installed new springs, shocks/struts, upper control arm, and a panhard bar. she sits much better and corners like she's on rails! many thanks to Drew at AED for the help with choosing the right parts for me!

4x4 option installed:

 -

spoiled with the install lol

 -

finished product:

 -

 -

 -

and my buddy who's a master tech helped me with the install at his dealer's shop. here are some pics of the shop, only took a couple since we wanted to get out, but there were lots of awesome cars, a classic Daytona as well as a ZR_1 vette

 -

 -

and the car i couldn't stop looking at!

That shop is cleaner than many offices I've seen [worship]

Not to mention the ridiculously clean bad ass machinery in there including that rare F-40 [dance]

Back to the stang, good mods and looks a lot better with the nice stance! I see some nice wheels in the near future to finish it off [Wink]

for sure! you could eat off of practically any surface!

yeah there were so many [worship] worthy cars there it wasn't even funny! the F40 takes the cake though!

and yes wheels are next, the wife lets me do a mod a year, first was performance, next suspension, and then wheels!
