Transform Your Mustang's Handling: Installing Maximum Motorsports Suspension on a 79-04 Mustang

Maximum Motorsports Suspension Install & Initial Impressions. 1979-2004 Mustang Maximum Grip Box. In this video I'm going to be installing a full Maximum Motorsports suspension setup in my 2001 Mustang GT. This install is similar on any 1979-2004 Mustang with a 8.8 solid rear axle. This setup has their tubular K member, lower control arms, and coil-overs up front. The rear uses a torque arm and a panhard bar to properly control the rear axle. The Maximum Motorsports setup is much more balanced and predictable.

I've owned this particular car for over 15 years now. So, I'm very familiar with how the car was prior as far as how it rode and handled. This setup is perfect for a street car. Compliant yet firm, never harsh. The ride is softer than stock actually. The steering is insane how much quicker it is with the same steering rack. The ride is so good that I start to forget how capable this car is when just cruising down the highway. Rides and handles like a dream. To take this car to a full race setup really only takes a shock, spring, and perhaps a bushing change. The geometry is all the same.
