02 Mustang GT-IRS

 



 

 
So many nice 'Stangs

Several members cars from SVTsake.com                                             


Moroso Battery Box in trunk. The Independent Rear Suspension adds 75 lbs to the weight of the car, but it removes 125 lbs of unsprung weight. The coil overs also significantly reduce unsprung weight as well as overall weight . While I did not weigh the factory springs and the HyperCoil springs. I would guesstimate they represent about a 50% weight savings over the stock pieces, I'm thinking 35-40 lbs. So I may have only gained 35-40 lbs overall with 75lbs directly over the rear wheels. The battery moves another 60lbs over the right rear wheel.  That's it for now...next spring Brembo's, 18.5 Cobra R rims and Toyo TS1's


 



 



Finally a picture where you can see the flamed pony and Mach 1 spoiler

The car is now a genuine thrill ride now. Very well mannered, predictable and an amazing amount of grip. The ride is slightly firmer than stock, though not at all harsh. You could not imagine cruising on the highway the amout of lateral grip the car can generate.
