Our Mustang is a street car that retains all the original suspension mounting points, runs on STREET tires and maintains steady state 1.38 G turns while delivering a factory quiet and comfortable ride. We never tested on slicks, but is is a safe bet to expect slicks to deliver at least a .12 increase.
I was going to say. Almost none of that came from the factory. You seem to do more upgrades, not full blown redesigns of suspension.
