If super car level handling has you worried about ride quality, you should think again. MM prides themselves on giving owners track capable packages that deliver outstanding handling, but at the same time don’t abuse drivers on the daily commute.
What this means for 2005-2014 Mustang owners is they can have a suspension system that greatly reduces brake dive and body roll, improves steering response and stability, and lowers their car, and not feel like they need to see a chiropractor after every drive. This system can be used on daily drivers that simply want to make the commute more exciting, or by owners who prefer to spend their time on the track.
MM puts considerable effort and research into selecting each part for their Grip Box packages and the S197 Road and Track Grip Box is no exception. This package includes Koni adjustable shocks and struts, custom springs, front sway bar, caster/camber plates, adjustable panhard bar, rear lower control arms, bump-stops, and all the necessary hardware for installation.
All of the parts are designed to be installed with basic hand tools meaning enthusiasts who are competent with bolt-on parts can swap everything out in the course of a weekend.
