Hey guys,

When I lowered my sho the shop couldnt get it aligned in the rear 100% and now that I am about to get new wheels with tires Id like to fix this issue so I dont ruin the tires too quickly... I have seen someone talk about a part from the mustang that lets us get the rear of the car aligned correctly, anyone know what the part is and where I can get it?

did they loosen the top bolt on the hub assembly and pull the top out as far as it would go and then tighten it down? Or did you when you installed the coils?  I believe what you are referring to would be a hub centric bolt that would replace the bolt that I am asking about you loosening.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I'm actually doing the opposite. removing the h&r and installing new stock springs. alignment should be a piece of cake in theory!

Why are you reverting to "stock"?

I don't like the ride of the h&r's. roads up here are awful.

Are you going to cut the rear coil?

I'm not doing anything. bringing to a shop to do the work. I have a potential buyer for the h&r's.

Can't depend on road quality anymore :(  Good luck with the H&R sale!

I'm someone that likes stiff rides, cough. In sense for as long as the road quality is good, as bumpy roads create more stress on the suspension and the rest of the car. For example, after a certain amount of time, rattling might come to existence, be it from exterior or interior, such as dash, doors, roof, consul, and etc. Nevertheless, I hate taking a turn in a car at low or high speeds and have/feel body roll as the car turns. So there exists  the tradeoff. Further, I will also say that for me, the PP springs are soft.

I guess nobody knows about the part from the mustang that helps us stay 100% aligned.
