Hey guys,
So here's the situation I've got. I have a 2001 mustang GT that i got super cheap to use as my drift car. It's front heavy and has a high ride height, which equals lots of body roll, brake dive, and understeer. I've I'm going to order some coilovers and tubular k member as the start to getting my suspension dialed in. I'm just not sure what spring rates I should go with. This is my first dedicated drift build so I'm still trying to figure out the details of a good drift setup (I've always built crawlers) so any body had success or not with certain spring rates. Any help or info on spring rates or balancing this chassis out would be greatly appreciated.
 
Look into Doug Vandenbrink's Formula D ProAm New Edge. The biggest issue will actually be achieving more steering angle from our front ends. If you are running coilovers you can run a modified or aftermarket lower control arm to allow more steering angle. Dvanzstore.bigcartel.com
 
Yeah steering angle, bushings, and hydro are next, just gotta get these coilovers figured out first. Ill look into seeing if I can find specs on his build for an idea. But what I need to run for my stock v8, and his high HP crazy grip and endless supply of sponsor tires setup are going to be a bit different lol.
 
Do you slide a mustang too? Have you personally done any suspension mods, if so what have you done and how is it working for you.
