Super helpful vid just got an sn95 today looking to get into the drift game is a Panhard bar necessary say people saying it’s an important mod in a bunch of forums
Best Drift how to mod vid !!!!!! for mustangs !!!! you the man !!!! why so happy ? i just found a 5.0 1994 for 2,000.00 LOL excellent conditions !!!!! and is got some extra juice !!!
My '98 started felt like it lost power steering one day, but it was the U joint on the steering shaft that was almost seized up. Soaked it down with lube and it was fine again.
I set my SN95 up with the Hydro to the stock rear calipers, then blocked off the factory line at the ABS module. So not the pedal only controls the front brakes. Wicked setup for subtle left foot stuff! I only have two events under my belt, but really loving how the Mustang handles!
That's not that good to do. You'll actually loose braking control, and most tracks will fail you for tech inspection if the see that. I would run it in line at least so that you can actually use your rear brakes with the pedal. A lot of rules state that the pedal must operate all 4 brakes. You can run a proportioning valve of you run the hydro inline, which will allow you to set how much pressure you want the hydro to go to the rear brakes. That completely fine. Think about it. :)
@@RatchetstrapMedia It's a fairly common practice in cars that only see the track. The brake feel is a lot different at speed, but the few times I have taken it on the street, it isn't really noticable. My reason for doing it was specifically to avoid running it inline. If the master on the hydro blows, you lose ALL your brakes when you're inline. I'd much rather at least have the front. Yes dual caliper is the better option here, but the outcome of running front only is not very impactful.
Don’t forget about drift American for brake parts and control arms and fdf race fab if you’re looking for angle kits! Lots more companies out there, take your time looking through the pages on google
I noticed online they said the angle kit is for track use only. Do you ever drive yours on the street? I’m trying to decide between the stage 2 and 3 for my sn95 right now
Stage 2 you can street drive just like a normal car. But stage 3 is weird because you have close to zero Ackerman. Meaning that your tires turn the same amount on corners. I don't street my car anymore because it's annoying to be honest. I have solid heim joints everywhere so it's a rough ride. But you can certainly do it.
Currently hunting for an sn95, but was on the fence between 3.73's vs 4.10's, good to hear input from someone who's currently drifting the same car I'm looking to pick up and drift! Nice video!
There is an entire group on Facebook full of people who drift these cars! Go 4.10. You'll have more options to choose from pertaining to different gears to drift in. Good luck!
@@RatchetstrapMedia oh awesome!!! Thanks for the heads up! As a non mustang guy (always been an more of an import/gm guy, mainly because ive run across good deals on them), what would you say is the better motor between the 5.0l vs the 4.6l romeo? Ive been trying to find a list comparing years/models, i had HEARD the new edge was a bit stiffer then the fourth gen sn95?
How are your front shock towers holding up? I've heard of mushrooming issues. I'm hesitant to switch over to coilovers as those towers are not designed to be pushed up by the springs. The same goes for the rear shock towers.
The same for me until around the time I commented. I've realized that it's a rare occurrence since then. Maybe those who's towers have mushroomed ran theirs Dukes Of Hazard style?
honestly a fresh oem clutch should get you by for a while otherwise just get a 6 puck and send it i'd also recommend getting a lighter flywheel to help with rpm climb and decel
Anythng a lil cheaper. I heard godspeed coilovers for the sn95 are fine. Im just worried about angle. My sn95 is sapposed to be a daily driver but on a budget
Buy cheap, buy twice. Buy expensive,buy once. I made the mistake of buying cheap suspension parts, and now I have to buy again. Save your money and doit right.
@@RatchetstrapMedia are these the cheapest most reliable parts you've had? I'm a full time college student and i just want to be able to get the most bang for buck, money is slow to get rn.
@@aviengnat199 buy max speeding rods coilovers super cheap and they work really well for the price havent has any problems with them 24 way adjustable on top of adjustable 16 way dampeners I'm pretty sure has camber plates too
I would suggest rear lower and upper control arms for the back really makes a difference its not so bouncy anymore and the diff dosnt move around as much when your on it helps for handling for sure in the back
shit here i was thinking about ripping the 4.10 gears out of my rear end but fuck lol. im also running a 95 gts so its got the 302 im curious to see where mine is power band and the like wise.
Angle kits cost too much..... why not remove your steering rack limiter??? I did and no issues. I didn’t just remove but cut half of it off so the tires wouldn’t rub.
Because. As you progress, you get faster. As you progress you drive with better people. The faster you go, the more angle you need to sustain high angle entries, and sharper corners and transitions. Gotta pay, to play.
John Ratchetstrap I agree, pay to play. Build it, break it than fix it 😂 but I’ve never had any issues with the way I set it up for angle. One day I’ll be able to afford the parts I want but till than this is garage diy
Absolutely. I started with a stock car. I eventually got to the point where I couldn't progress because the car was holding me back. Learn to drive before you over build, and make bad habits.
Original stock angle is 30 left 20 right if I remember correctly. Now it’s a 40 left 38 right. I love the video though bro, Steering angle goals🙌🏼✌🏼 I been driving for 24 years drifting. 10 years racing. Just have kids now so I can’t build cars like I used to, gotta go cheap to play now a days 😂
The irishDEV1L Angle kits not only add angle but also make the steering quicker. Just removing the steering rack limiter won’t do much since you’ll have to rotate the wheel like 5 or 6 full rotations every transition, and that’s not something you’re gonna want to do
@@RatchetstrapMedia thanks man, I just wanted to know if these control arms work with the stock k, but after reading the duncan website it seems like they'll make the control arms for your specific k member. Hope everything goes well when you pull the engine out.
It’s iffy. Not a huge market of drift parts available, so some companies take advantage of that. I bought my black shell for $200 lol the guy was just gonna throw it out anyway.

Very helpful.. just picked up my 95 5.0 speed couple days ago.. can't wait to get started.. thanks for the info
Hell yeah, have fun!
When you whipped it around the pole after you said it was hard to spin out, I was like damn he’s not kidding🙏🏻I got a 97 GT myself
Nice! My 98 is gone. I currently have a 95 that I swapped everything over to. She was very rusty.
Picking up a 98 sn95 this weekend and this video couldn’t of been more perfect thank you so much!
Thanks for the kind words! Good luck with it.
Lol I've drive with him before. I'm in his charity ride along video at Pocono raceway. I gave him a coil pack.

Eh. I still am against it. There's a reason most legitimate drifting clubs don't allow it.
Thx for the info!!! You rock
Thank you!
Music was kinda annoying tbh but thanks for the video
Natiive Jay wasn’t that bad
I don't know anything about drifting but it looks fun. have a 1997 mustang 4.6 that has been sitting 4 year. I am going to gave it a tr try.
It's a ton of fun! Mustangs are great platforms to learn on.
@@RatchetstrapMediayou know how to drift
thanks for the info! i subscribed. just got a 95 mustang gt, but i was used to a BMW 325i so this video helps a lot!
Thank you! Have fun with it.
haha weird we had the same ecact two cars i started with a 325i e46
Great video bro keep the content coming
Thank you!

Def .410 on gears. What about welded diff? You should mention and it’s a cheap backyard job. Good info
No
This is a great video
🤙
Awesome vid! What spring rates do you use up front with no sway bar? Thanks in advance!
700 pound and up

Can having a qa1 k member and the steering angle kit from scotidi still work together?
Idk. Never used that kit.
Ok no problem
I will let you soon
did it work?@@jamesonsnead279
have a 99 cobra i built as a drag car but drag racing is more about money then fun so im going to turn it into a drift car
It should all be about fun
Did you do anything to the rear end besides gears - pan hard bar? Watts link setup? Torque arm? reinforce torque boxes?
Nothing besides gears. I'm in the process of a build. 3.73, lsd rebuild, pan hard, and possible torque box reinforcement.
How are your front shock towers holding up? I've heard of mushrooming issues.
I'm hesitant to switch over to coilovers as those towers are not designed to be pushed up by the springs.
The same goes for the rear shock towers.
Never heard of this 🤔

No issues with running coils
I've never drifted a mustang. If you have experience with near stock S-chassis cars, how would you compare the two in terms of handling and feel?
Well, the mustang is a solid axle so the feel is totally different.
Do you recommend getting a new clutch? or keep it stock
honestly a fresh oem clutch should get you by for a while otherwise just get a 6 puck and send it i'd also recommend getting a lighter flywheel to help with rpm climb and decel
Oem is fine unless you’re making big power
I have a 98 mustang gt I was wondering if its lsd is good for drifting
Yes. It works just fine. That’s what I use, but with my new car I have a welded diff.
For the angle kit on the website it says 94-04 excluding cobra and I have 98 cobra... so my question is what makes it not work on the cobra models
It does 04 is above 98
I’m not sure why it says that, but it will work.
The only difference is the brakes. It might not clear them.
Anythng a lil cheaper. I heard godspeed coilovers for the sn95 are fine. Im just worried about angle. My sn95 is sapposed to be a daily driver but on a budget

@@aviengnat199 not by a long shot. They blew out the first event for me. I've just been driving on them because they were already on the car.

Should i upgrade rear arms too or just run the stock ones?
I would suggest rear lower and upper control arms for the back really makes a difference its not so bouncy anymore and the diff dosnt move around as much when your on it helps for handling for sure in the back
Definitely upgrade them
Why are the doors stripped?
Because there’s a roll cage
Where’s your clock?
how much money are you into the car just wondering
I don’t even want to know lol
@@RatchetstrapMedia oh wow wanted to kinda budget but if that is the case i will just save and buy a car i want thank you for the info
It’s well over $5k.

Kyle Tyler made it myself. This bar has since been destroyed in a crash though.

I love you
Thanks, but take me to dinner first
That mustang looks like chrisfix's mustang lol😂
I know him
What did you use for the k member? Are you on the stock k, or an aftermarket one?
I swapped my k member from my old car. It's a stock one for now. I plan to get a tube one the next time the engine comes out.
@@RatchetstrapMedia thanks man, I just wanted to know if these control arms work with the stock k, but after reading the duncan website it seems like they'll make the control arms for your specific k member. Hope everything goes well when you pull the engine out.
Oh god I really hope the mustang doesn't get the dreaded drift tax.
It’s already started brother
@@RatchetstrapMedia Glad I bought my new edge many years ago. Hopefully parts will stay cheap.

@@RatchetstrapMedia Good thing is there's a lot of neglected and unwanted V6's out there as well.
The good thing about them, the k member works with a pushrod 5.0
