gt suspension on v6

BRCKSS2 · 07-10-2004

Would putting a set of Gt springs and shocks on a V6 make any difference? From what I'm reading the spring rates are the same. I picked up a set of Take offs from a buddy and don't want to change the springs if they're the same.

Not really, they are to much alike to notice a difference and there is a small chance of raising your car.

Go ahead and spend for the aftermarket springs and shocks, get it aligned, and then go from there. Maybe a Cobra rear sway bar or a GT rear sway bar.

what year is your Stang?

I have a 2001 V6 auto with 80k. From what I read I may as well get the FMS 'C' springs for $100 and maybe use the GT shocks and struts (they only have 5K on them). I'll put the sprinmgs on ebay ...you never know.

I have the rear end shocks (anti torque) if anyone needs them. Also I have a 99GT H pipe with cats (no O2 sensors) if anyone needs that. Not sure if it will fit a V6.....

I thought the GT had like quad shocks or something that is no on the V6...

But yeah 2001, you to a yard and get a GT or Cobra Rear Sway bar, will def. improve the handleing

i didn't know that the cobra and gt sway bars were the same. you know since everything they sell says except cobra with irs.

I heard someoen reccomend the Cobra Sway bar so i figured it fits all models.

Correct! no quad shocks.

Using springs and shocks from the GT will firm your ride and raise your height. Unless you get the stuff from a 5.0L.

Steeda Sport springs, and aftermarket shocks will serve you better.

How about the Bullitt suspension kit? It has 2 shocks, 2 struts, 4 lowering springs and 2 anti-sway bar that were on the Bullitt. Would it work on a v6? Cuz it seems like a cheap way to lower your car and improve handling without spending alot of money and its on proven technology. I read the Bullitt has one of the tightest handling.
