i just install a new "M-5400-A mustang handling kit" from fordracing, on my
2001 mustang( new gas shock, new spring , and sway bar) the ride comfort
does improve . but its seem like the steering is too sensitive, it feel like
its easy to lose control of the car, and i can't take the corner like i used
too..just want to know do i have to bring some where to get it tuned. if so
what is the right term for that and like where. if there no such thing thank
any way..

If you haven't done an alignment after this swap you definitely need to.

Suggest the following specs. (as per JD Adams)

Toe-in: 0.00 degrees
Camber angle: -.25 degrees left and right (-.50 deg. left/right for very
aggressive driving)
Caster angle: non-adjustable

I have the same suspension system. My settings are as above except that my
camber is set at -.3 degrees.

On a side note you may find that with this suspension you cannot obtain
these specs without new CC plates or by elongating the alignment slots on
the strut tower. Doesn't take much about 1/4" to 1/3". I opted for
elongating the alignment slots.

Hope this helps.

Is the M-5400-A kit the Bullitt suspension package?

I've been considering (for years) that kit as an upgrade to my stock '97
Cobra suspension... considering that it's essentially a GT suspension with
stiffer sway bars, the rear of which broke a long time ago...
