Default excessive lean through corners

my 94 gt can corner well i can tell but it leans way too much. it has 112k on it and the shock abosrobers and struts are still stock, so im assuming those are pretty much shot. will putting new shocks and struts atleast help keep the car move level through corners? thanks

From what I know of you, you are cheap like me. KYB shocks and Ford Racing C Springs are the tip

Shocks & Struts alone wont help much, get the C springs as Fordman50 said and KYB or Tokico s&s

me too M5300-C is the part number if I'm not mistaken. They are linear fronts and progressive rears they will really remove the lean and dipping under hard braking.

I have the Eibach Pro Kit and Koni "Reds" at which that helped in the corners, but the only downside is that the ride is rough. On highway it gets to be pretty bumpy at times. I had the shocks replaced before i got the springs and like everyone else...it helps but springs are needed.

of course, The front is REAL low but I had to cut a coil on the back. If you took the time to read my site, you would already have the answers to many of your Qs in this forum dude. http://imouer.stangnet.com

The FRPP C kit will lower around 1.25" the best for handling.

Lowering more than 1.5" will affect the suspension geometry
