What is your FFR chassis number?

Which coil over shocks do you have (Gold, Silver, Red, and the brand)?
How many coils in the springs?
Tubular front A arms or donor Mustang?

What is your height set at front and rear?

Which rear suspension set up do you have? 4 link donor with donor mustang springs, 4 link with coil overs (again which color and brand, how many coils in the springs), 3 link, or IRS?

What rims are you using (diameter, width, offset if you know it) front and rear?

What tire size front and rear?

How old are the tires (there are date codes, Google how to read them)?

Finally, when was the last time the car was aligned?


We can start from there, the more details you can give us, the better chance of actually getting a response that will help you in the long run.
