JMS 2000 Ford Mustang GT Kenny Brown Suspension System Install - The Evolution Of Intelligent Design - Tech

Though the geometry looks stock, the front spindles are about one inch further forward compared to stock. Though this doesn't sound like much, it translates to about a 7-degree difference in positive caster.

Rear components consist of a shock tower brace (PN KB-29901; $149), AFCO coilover shock kit (PN AFCO-CO; $799), adjustable upper control arms (PN KB-28050; $249), adjustable lower control arms (PN KB-28061CO; $349), and anti-squat traction brackets (PN KB-49001; $99).

The boxed upper control arms are adjustable, and mount to the stock locations.

Snelgrove bolts the KB upper control arms in place using the included hardware.

The tubular lower control arms are adjustable like the uppers, and require the use of coilover shocks.

Once the anti-squat traction brackets are bolted in place, holes must be drilled to mount the control arms.

The rear coilover shocks were a joint venture between Kenny Brown and AFCO and are designed specifically for this system.

Included hardware allows the coilover shocks to mount in the stock location.

Hood uses a screwdriver to scrape away excess factory seam sealer...

...allowing room for the shock tower brace to be bolted in place.

Once all of the Kenny Brown components were installed, JMS Chip and Performance chassis-fabricator Kenny Gunn installed a custom Panhard bar for added rigidity, shown here.

Snelgrove then lowered the GT back onto its tires and adjusted ride height on all four corners.

On track, the GT sported newly added Baer brakes, 18-inch wheels, and Pirelli tires.

On the street tires, our test driver Brad Grissom ripped off lap times as low as 1:09.74-after disconnecting and removing the sway bar.

After switching to full slick race tires, Grissom accomplished a new best lap time of 1:05.30. "Even though it has 400 hp, it can run with 500hp cars," Grissom said of the JMS Chip and Performance Mustang.
