I was wondering if anyone has modified their suspension to eliminate that rocky boat feel. If so has anyone tightened it up maintaining the stock height and who has done so while lowering it. What kind of difference have you felt. My 500's a pretty awesome car but I cant say Im confidence inspired while going into a turn. Granted I had the IRS with subs and a strut tower brace in the term but I do have to say I expected a bit more precision out of this car's handling ability. My old term was like point and click, bam, and your there. Im not feeling this in the Shelby and to me this would be my starting point. Thanks for the imput in advance. :shrug:

the last one was this car. a live axle 98 cobra with fully adjustable koni coilover suspension(its in here to show a live axle can outhandle many cars, including porsche and ferrari, that have irs). griggs redesigns the suspension to drop the car without losing any travel. yes it flys and sticks through the corners.
The Ferrari Club Virginia City Hill Climb is an event the Griggs Racing staff enjoys attending each year. The 5.2 mile course, on route 342, has some breath taking views and death defying cliffs. Ride along with John Griggs in his 660whp 98 GR40 Cobra Mustang Convertible (daily driver/open track car with SLA upgrade) as he demonstrates the cars sure-footedness up the hill. Every part from the GR40 suspension system to the convertible roll bar is available for purchase from Griggs Racing Products or the Griggs Racing Dealer nearest you. BTW: No Ferrari has been able to beat John’s time. I hope they let us back next year.
