FAQs
Should I use an aftermarket master cylinder instead of a direct replacement Mustang unit?
While some aftermarket master cylinders will work, we recommend using one of the several Mustang master cylinders because: Direct replacement Mustang master cylinders are readily available at most auto parts stores. In the event of a failure, a replacement master cylinder can be located without much difficulty. Aftermarket master cylinders all have the outlet ports on the opposite side from the stock master cylinder. That makes bending the brake lines to fit to the ports much more difficult, as there is very little room between the master cylinder and the chassis. MM makes installation kits that greatly simplify installing a stock Mustang master cylinder. We do not make such kits for aftermarket master cylinders; you will be on your own to create lines with the proper tube nuts.
How does it work?
In standard shock absorbers the main damping characteristic is defined by the oil flow (I) going through the piston assembly. Combining it with the FSD feature, KONl added a special valve which is able to control a parallel oil flow next to the one going through the piston. This parallel oil flow (II) is closed by the FSD feature, giving a rise in damping force almost linear to the time that the piston is moving in one direction. Put simply: the FSD feature is a hydraulic amplifier that delays the build up of pressure. One could say that an extra tuning option has been created in order to get the best possible combination of handling and comfort. Since it is an integrated part of the hydraulic valve system inside the damper, no additional cables, sensors or any other electronic devices are needed to operate an FSD damper. FSD is the simplest and most economic way to significantly improve the ride and driving characteristics of every car. Certainly in comparison with costly systems which work on the basis of computer technology, complex electronics and sensors.
Do I need a panhard bar?
Yes. An MM torque-arm installation requires that a suitable panhard bar be installed first. The geometry of the Maximum Motorsports panhard bar compliments the MM torque-arm, and provides the best performance for your Mustang. If another company's panhard bar or Watts Link is installed, the roll center may not be at the optimum height to work well with the MM torque-arm.
Do I need to change my rear lower control arms?
The rubber bushings of the stock rear lower control arms allow far too much fore and aft deflection for proper axle control. For the best performance from the MM torque-arm Suspension System, also install bind free MM Rear Lower Control Arms.
