S197 Mustang Kenny Brown Rear Suspension "Grip Kit"

Kenny Brown's rear grip kit tames tail-happy S197 Mustangs by altering the rear suspension geometry to increase grip while accelerating, braking, and cornering. Here's a step-by-step, detailed video on how we installed it on a 2012 Mustang GT...in our driveway. Includes how to install Mustang control arms and how to install a Mustang panhard bar.

The factory upper control was made by someone in six grade

I put a 5/16 socket on the bolt head under the seat did someone put the wrong bolt in my car ?

[@Mustang-Geek]

That's weird. On these old cars, anything is possible!

Do you guys sell parts separately or only as a kit?

[@Mustang-Geek]

Kenny Brown sells all these parts separately, though they work best when installed as a complete system: kennybrown.com/collections/s197-handling

Do you have a link for all the parts?

Why is it not recommended that you reinstall the sway bar?

[@Mustang-Geek]

The handling balance is too "loose" with the sway bar.

[@Mustang-Geek]

@@michaelhoffman9275 Both! The grip kit changes geometry in the side view and front view, so both are improved.

change that axle vent valve 🥴 it’s clogged that’s why the drivers side is leaking and caked in gear oil ⚙️ $40 fix will save your differential and axle!!!!

If youre tracking the car its not a clogged vent. Whats happening is your oil gets hot, expands, and purges through the check valve when going through sweeping turns. The solution is an expansion tank. I installed the JLT kit on mine and no more leaks.
