Torrence Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hello all, Thinking about ordering rear lower adjustable control arms, upper control arms and an adjustable panhard rod from BMR, but before I do that was wondering how much of a difference/improvement will I see in the overall performance of the suspension on the SGT with these mods included. Thoughts???? My car is supercharged by the way.... (not sure if that makes a difference or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not sure if that makes a difference or not) Unless you know exactly how to dial your ride in, too much adjustable...big headache Wait until you get more feedback from other 07-08 Shelby GT owners as to what works and what doesn't and then by all means, have at it.

You will see improvement in all aspects of the rear suspension. What you install will be dependant on what you plan on using the car for. IE: track events or 1/4 mile. No watts link for the quarter mile stuff. But as you know, mine is SC'ed also. Because I am going to track mine, mostly, I am also installing adjustable front sway bar links. Did you get the wheels and tires mounted yet? Post some pics if you did. I can't wait to see the finished product. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT2666 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Honestly I don't think you will see much difference at all. Your car already has a pan hard bar just not adjustable, I think the biggest issue people are having with the rear suspension is wheel hop caused by weak upper and lower control arms the BMR parts should cure that problem. I'm still screwing around with the watts link set up on my car but so far it seems like that may make a pretty noticeable difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyPilot Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I have aftermarket control arms and the watt's link. My car is supercharged also. I went with the control arms because so many of the GT500 owners were complaining of wheel hop and control arms seemed to be the fix. With comparative power I thought it was prudent. I was going to go with an adjustable panhard until I found the Fays2 watts link. I was going to do the panhard because with the lowering of the car the body sat offset over the rear axle. With 10.5" wheels it was very noticeable. After the install I took my car for an aligment to make sure the adjustments were square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
