I just wanted to come here and say thanks for this video which I had to come back to several times. I have never tackled lowering springs before or any job like this. Since I was at it I also decided to go with the X2 ball joints for the extra drop, QA1 Bumpsteer kit and Steeda 4 bolt CC Plates. Other things like what tools you used like the pit-man arm puller on the spindle was nice to see as I had a cheap Harbor Freight puller and broke that. Only problem I had was dropping the rear axle enough to get the rear springs in. Once I removed the quad struts then axle came down. You put a lot of time into these videos where I catch everyone and just wanted to say the are appreciated! Thanks TKO!
Just did Bilstein shocks/struts, H&R SS’s, MM CC plates, Steeda bump steer/X2 ball joints on my 04 GT today took 10 hours but it was well worth it! My car is way lower and it handles like it’s on rails. Thank you so much for this video man, well edited. Our setup is almost identical so this video literally help my buddy and I so much! Thank you from myself and everyone else this video has helped!
@@terminator7137 my income isn't that great. I just saved little by little and saved money by doing all labor myself and with a friend lol
@@terminator7137 yeah sounds cool man. My advice is to lift up your car and look underneath so see what suspension components need replacing
@@terminator7137 oh yeah clutch and flywheel is a great mod, I got a lightweight exedy flywheel and man it revs so much quicker now, great mod all I need now is a lightweight drive shaft
With the bilsteins do you have to have the adjustable caster chamber plates? Or can you just bolt straight on?
Actually a Saleen that has gotten driven and not parked in a garaged and only looked at.. Very nice work 👍
I have daily driven my saleen for 10 years now 128k on it now
Hey guys came across this video after googling my 99 259 , it turns out i the i now own the car in your video , great work guys all your parts are still on it and in great working condition. Im searching around for any documents or any info of any history on this car ,if you have anything let me know, love a good back story thanks !!
Cool video. Just did mm cc plates, h&r race springs, steeda x2 balljoints and steeda bumpsteer kit on my 03 cobra.
Nice work boys. The stance of that Saleen is what I was looking for. I have a 00 GT convertible. About two years ago I had H&R springs, Koni shocks and Maximum Motorsports CC plates installed. Why does it still have the ride height of a truck? In the rear I’m running 18x10 with 285/35/18 and I can still put a fist between the top of the tire and the fender. Those H&R springs are supposed to be a 2 inch drop all around, or close to.
I also had new poly isolators installed. I always felt like those may be the problem as they’re hard as a rock and won’t compress like stock rubber ones would..idk..stance is everything. It really dictates the style of wheel that’ll look good.
i just had h+r springs and kyb schocks installed on my 2000 gt conv yhe front looks great but the bock is still high were suposed to be 2 inch drop
Rhonda Crowther Mine doesn’t look to bad in the front but the rear is painful to look at. I don’t understand how they engineer these things and don’t see how ineffective they are. I’d take out the isolators but my car only has 35k original on it and I’m not trying to beat on it.
Steeda x2 balljoint will drop it more and I’ve read people removing the spring isolators for an extra half inch or full inch.
I just started this process following your video with almost the same parts ! Cant wait to get it done its my first big project
Update: I finished the front end now need to do the rear
@@marcogonzalez946 how long did it take you
I have a 2001 Roush stage 3, this video nailed for me. I purchase the lower control arms and was about to get to it. I found your video was perfect for me. Thank you guys!
nice thorough work, new control arms, sway bar, pressed bushings, calipers, camber plates. shocks springs.
tie rod's end links and those crosmember bushings for the steering.
nice man. nice job.
I was reading through the coments and thanks for the share.
great video and educational, far more work than I gotten and I know that stuff is pain staking.
Awsome.
Nice job and attention to detail. Between your mechanic abilities and your video and editing skills, you deserve a lot more subscribers, and believe me, they'll come. Well done! Subscribed!
Never seen you guys tq any of the bolts lol some of those need like 149lbs
Getting alot of those goodies on my car soon. Man id be fun as hell to work in your shop with you. Im just a huge 87-2004 mustang nerd,kinda sux loving stangs too much it becomes expensive or i would have a nice chunk of change in the bank right now :( keep them video coming brother,loving them and you should have more subs.
Morbid Thrasher thanks man! Get them parts saved up and ride out. We can throw them on all at once like this!
Amazing job if I may say so! But at minute 14:42 I think you forgot to put one more bolt on the bottom shock 🤔
Yeah, just saw another one of your videos and shows you are in KY. That might be a problem. Damn!! I'm in CT. Cant find anyone in area that really takes pride in there work and who I could trust. I can only do so much due to my injuries these days. This sucks!
Nice video and great shoots. But did you go to small on the sway bar end links? They come in 1/4” increment lengths and I believe your supposed to keep the sway bar end level with the control arm. Yours seems so short it’s twisting the sway bar down, not horrible but it will change the force to flex of the sway bar. Just an observation. Otherwise, a lot of cool parts on that and a nice video man
Tried using a pickle fork on my lower ball joint and it wouldn't budge. Now I have to find a similar tool to the one you used at 3:15
You guys do really nice work! Just did a bunch of similar suspension upgrades to my 03 Mach and now I feel like shit about by crusty spindles and dust shields!
Video was really cool too! Jim
Awesome video! Any idea what would firm up a 97 mustang gt steering. I replaced the steering shaft. That got rid of the play but still have light steering. It’s also a newer rack. Inner Tie rods and ends are newer. I’m about to do ball joints and prothane rack bushings Any other suggestions?
I'm surprised you didn't also replace the inner tie rods. I wish you would make more videos again. It's been quite awhile.
He upgraded to an 03/04 cobra rack so no need to. Again this was filmed on Christmas Eve so we could not make part runs and he was leaving town the day after Christmas.
@@tkoresto oh, ok. 🙂
Nice job and I’m doing mine now. Pass side off tomorrow other side
@tko how tight did you button down the front sway bar. I tightened mine to the torque specs from the instructions and it seems too tight. It's tearing the bushings I believe. I have another sway bar link kit that I'll probably replace the eibach with but would just like your input
Dillion Boyette just tighten to compress but only a little bulge
You need do swap out the K-member next
Did you guys not have to install the steeda ball joint spacers to the springs ?
Alfred Sanchez you don’t have to. It will give you Additional drop without them.
Beatiful horse!😍🐎
Did you grease the Steeda x2 ball joints? Or are they pre greased? I just installed them..
Chad Wyatt greased
Very satisfying!
This is a very happy stang.
This video is came right on time. Im also about to do a total suspension overhaul on my gt within the next week so this video will definitely help me out alot. Just one question. I bought used maximum motorsports caster camber plates and in your video when you are bolting them down from the top I see you placed races on the bolt before you placed on the nut. So my question is it still possible for me to button those down without those races? Or can i purchase those from maximum motorsports somehow?
N. Williams you'll need the spacers for the Struts. Not sure if you can buy them from mm. I might have a few extras. Let me know if you have any questions while doing the overhaul on your gt.
tko resto Thanks man! If you do have some extras ill buy them from you. Im still waiting on my ball joints and tie rod kit to come in the mail so im in no rush. I referred to the spacers as races in the previous comment...thats the same thing right?
N. Williams yes. I just call them spacers lol.
tko resto you're right! hey no worries man i found out mm does sell them and i just placed an order. thanks again. keep up the great content
Any idea where I can get/rent one of those devices you used to pull the ball joints? Thanks
FordMan8801 AutoZone or advanced auto. Advanced auto has a better ball joint tool.
tko resto thanks man.
FordMan8801
Oriellys has one and u get a refund when you return it, makes the job easier
Nice 99 Saleen!
How much is the overall expenses for replacing the whole suspension? Thank you in advance...
They actually didn't replace that much of the suspension. Everything you see here is probably less than 1k maybe even closer to $500. I have a full MAXIMUM Motor Eport set up front and full tilt boogie for my IRS out back and everything all together was close to 4,000
Nice video man. Hey I have a quick ? I have a 02 Saleen speedster. When I turn sharp going slow I feel like something loose or something lol car has 125k and suspension is stock. Any ideas? Need to get under it and look. Hoping it is just bushings.
Sean H check end links, ball joints and wheel bearings
@@emericask822 cool thanks allot will do.
Finally got real bad. Took a closer look it was my strut mount bushings. Easy fix
If I did this myself, would I have to get it aligned by a shop?
yes. we took this car to get aligned after the installs
tko resto Sweet! Just checking 👌
Is that a offset bushing?
Bro this music 👌 who are these artists?!?
I'm trying to install new control arms but I'm having a crazy hard time with getting the spring back in there. I only have the left side done and it's driving me crazy I had to use crowbars to bend the spring in. Do I need a lift to do it as easily as you did?
Idk y but I’m having a hard time doing the passenger side too .
Are you using a jack to raise the control arm?
did you use bilstein b6 or b8?
Is it the same for the rear ??
With all of those suspension 😅mods added to that Mustang. Just like every other Mustang. It will take out another crowd or car after leaving another Cars and Coffee event 😅!
Hello sir need to ask a question would a 99 driveshaft work for a 98ford mustang both are v6
What's the name of those wheel called on the black foxbody
Can i do this to my 2001 v6 mustang??
Curious what a arms y’all use?
ABS sensor was left dangling with the screw broke off inside the spindle. Bumpsteer kit was installed without doing bumpsteer alignment. Didn't see a torque wrench used once.But......"details matter".
The Juff Those ABS sensors are a pain to take out without damaging and use a tiny bolt that breaks easily. Didn't show an alignment much less a bump steer correcting one so don't get your point?
You really use a torque wrench on everything???
Nice job!
Does anyone know anything about Saleen mustang suspension? I just bought a brand Saleen N2 race craft suspension and two, not one, but two, mechanics effed it up! It bounces like a hooptie. I called Saleen and they said that maybe they have the springs mixed up.... rear springs in front, front springs in back. Someone please help me. I’m not car or tech savvy. All I know is that the SOB fucked up my Saleen and it’s much much lower because it is inoperable because it’s pretty much almost resting on its belly, like 1.5 inches off the ground.
Nosy Bee probably blown struts if you bought used
What would ur recommend for Arms and or coilovers?MM?
Ipds70GltR arms I would recommend 03/04 cobras. Aje or mm. Depending on your budget. And mm cool overs are my favorite hands down. They ride good and look even better. Love them.
Thanks man! Great video 👍
thanks!!!!
Any links on the music?
How much did all of that cost in parts ?
Jacob Amusten most of the parts he bought used but brand new. People just selling on facebook here and there. He saved up these parts since last year. Retail value around $2500-$3000. We had more parts then just the front. Some were installed in my other videos.
great job man I'm getting ready to do my ball joints and tie rods on my Stang I learned so many tricks of the game in this video thank you
Chuck Evans HHC-YG thanks man. Glad this could help!
great video, thank you am learn a lot, from u gays,,,,😋
Why front wheels dozen stand up straight.
Trent Spight needed alignment which we got after this
How much have you spent?
M Torres probably close to 1000 or less. Bought most of the stuff new but second hand so saved 50-75 here and there on each part.
what's a good strut and lowering spring for a 99-04 mustang gt?
Ray Jabz Bilstein or Koni for strut. Eibach or H&R for spring
emericask822 better set up then coilovers
Ray Jabz you can run coilovers on a Bilstein strut or on a Koni strut, it’s just expensive compared to running struts and a regular spring. Whatever your budget allows
emericask822 is there a huge difference between the two performance wise
Ray Jabz yes
awsome fucken work!!!! very impressed
thank you! more videos to come
what springs do you use?
tony valleverde factory Saleen springs which are eibachs
"first start with the new suspension in" lmao i catch myself sayin shit like that all the time to bro
Beefy suspension it must handle like it's on rails!
That is cool
What size wrenches do you need for control arm bolt and nut.
Danny Snyder I forget just grab a few sockets out of the tool box. I️ believe it was 24 MM for the nut 22MM for the bolt
My ball joints looked EXACTY the same on my sn95
No alignment?
rob peters got one the next day
Nice! With all that work that you it is necessary for. Nice job homie! I used to do this with the fox bodies in the late 80's and 90's but nobody really respected or appreciated it and the parts were not readily available like they are now, not like today. Attention is in the detail. You guys got it right! Keep up the cause!!! Respect.
wish my underside was that clean lol
With all that new stuff you installed could of at least did the inner tie rods too
No need. 03 cobra went in a month after
Sweet!
I have to wake up at 6:20 tomorrow why am I watching this
Wtf I was so scared when I took my sway bar end link off and my spring pushed my control arm down, this guy just yeets it out of there
Keep a jack under it and slow the chaos down.
Damn that old rotor just ruined it.
Jacob Amusten he has new AP Racing Saleen Calipers. But has to have custom two piece rotors made bc the stock rotors are $1000 for the pair and impossible to find. We did what we could. He will have the Saleen brakes on soon!
Jacob Amusten lol damn man. I was gonna bring out the calipers and rotors to him but the rotors were a bit dirty and slotted one piece. I'm having two piece slotted made hoping to shed some weight. Trust me I don't want the small rusty gt 2 piston brakes on there either. I'll be sure to send Tyler some pics when I get them on there. Or fly him out and do a video of us putting them on haha.
How did he drive it around with no alignment
Good video, but horrible music!
They know, TH-cam would get on them for using "normal" music
