The factory S197 three-link suspension system does not allow for any instant-center adjustability, but BMR Suspension has some popular components that allow for this.īMR Suspension’s Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets (PN CAB005) allow you to run the rearend side of the lower control arms in either the factory position or three lower positions. The lower the point is, the softer the hit will be. The higher the point is, the more aggressive power will be applied. This point can be changed by raising or lowering the mounting points of the upper or lower control arms.Ĭhanging this point in relation to the car’s center of gravity has a big influence on the chassis, and how power is applied to the tires. Most of us are familiar with the term instant center, but for those who aren’t, the instant center is the intersection point of the upper and lower control arms if both links were extended until they intersected. Many factors are at play when power is applied to the chassis, but for the sake of this discussion, we are going to focus on rear suspension geometry. While the number of people that have reached these milestones continue to grow, it takes much more than engine tuning to achieve these levels of performance.” We have seen many people take their street Mustangs into the bottom 8-second, and even 7-second zone. “With the addition of almost any power adder and quality tuning, single-digit elapsed times are incredibly easy to achieve. Whether you have a basic street car, or an all-out race car, BMR has the parts to add the adjustability needed to correct any geometry issues.-Brett Rockey, BMR “Whether you have a basic street car or an all-out race car, BMR has the parts to add the adjustability needed to correct any geometry issues, or tune the suspension for launching with big power at the track,” explained Brett Rockey, Product Design Engineer at BMR Suspension. We sat down with BMR to discuss some of the design features used to allow enthusiasts to get just about any amount of power to the ground, as the company does with its own in-house project car…

The company builds performance suspension components that are designed to give customers the strength and adjustability to achieve nearly any level of performance without having to use full race-style parts that aren’t designed for street use. The same principals that make single-digit race cars work also apply to the guy with nothing more than lowering springs who has never been to the track.īMR Suspension of Seffner, Florida, specializes in suspension components for Mustang enthusiasts. Whether your S197 is primarily a racer or simply a fun daily driver, understanding the rear suspension geometry can be extremely beneficial. Combine this with the absolute juggernaut that is the Coyote engine, and you have a recipe for serious street and track performance. While it’s not overly surprising, this surge is largely due to the market being fairly saturated with these affordable Mustangs.

Over the past few years, the S197 Mustang made a significant jump in popularity at the drag strip.
