New DD: So when are we going to get a dedicated Mustang section?

Mike · 06-01-2012, 10:50 AM

thanks! Already ordered the iSimple iphone and sat radio gateway. I have a sirius tuner with a lifetime subscription, so its easiest to go this route rather than factory sirius.

Mike · 06-01-2012, 10:50 AM

thinking about these:
Eibach Pro-System Kit

Meh. Mediocre dampers. If you want good get Koni Yellows. If you don't want any adjustment get Koni STR.T, but I'd recommend the Yellows.

For a spring, if you don't want crazy low but want a good rate get the Steeda Sport linear spring. Be careful and make sure you get the linear rate, they made a run of progressive before.

Also, you'll want to get some good strut mounts (stock ones are crap). Steeda HD mounts are very good.

Do yourself a favor and call Sam Strano (Stranoparts.com) when he gets back in town. He's a master of Mustang suspension stuff.

I'm running Koni Yellows, Steeda Sport springs, Steeda HD strut mounts, and Fays 2 watts link with 275/35 PSS all around. The car is absolutely wicked.

Here's the stance on the Sports. Not slammed. Good working travel.

And when at work:

Mike · 06-01-2012, 02:59 PM

but remember, I'm only using mine for cruising, no heavy duty driving stuff. I just want the looks. I can get the eibach kit wholesale for 440.

speedfreek · 06-01-2012, 03:02 PM

Mike walks into the dealership...sure I will take it.....as long as it is BLACK!!!

Definately a better DD and congrats on the purchase. Would love to have one along with the Z.

In that case I'd still choose the Koni STR.T (or yellow) + Steeda Sport for better ride quality.

And you're going to have to upgrade the strut mounts regardless. The stock ones will probably fall apart when you uninstall. They have a habit of doing that.

Give Sam Strano a call and tell him what you want, he'll hook you up with the right package. Just tell him Steve sent you. I actually think he's open right now until the 6th of this month before he goes off on more SCCA stuff.

phelan · 06-01-2012, 03:25 PM

Steve has the hookups on the5.0 now too

Waiz · 06-01-2012, 03:29 PM

Congrats Mike, thanks for helping my Ford stocks lol

Can we get some interior shots?

I do I do, it's true it's true.

nuTinmuch · 06-01-2012, 07:15 PM

What front lip is that? It isn't stock, is it? Is it the Boss one?

Whatever it is, it looks really good.

m4a1mustang · 06-01-2012, 08:06 PM

Yeah it's the Boss lip (not the Laguna Seca).

Mike · 06-01-2012, 08:30 PM

Interior, but crappy pics

and the tail lights at night, these things are so cool looking. I really like the small details like this, and the two white light strips on the front headlights and the faux vented hood.

m4a1mustang · 06-01-2012, 08:39 PM

Nice. Have you found the steering settings and sport mode yet?

Mike · 06-01-2012, 09:07 PM

no, but I have only driven it less than 20 miles. When I fly on monday, I'm bringing the manual with me and reading it over.

what are these steering settings that you speak of?

Also, do you know the wheel offsets? Trying to see if I can fit my Forgestar 18x10+34 on the car. I think I can.
