Planning on switching to coil over soon...Yet, how well does the Ford Racing Track Struts work with the steeda spring setup. Did you notice a big difference?

I like it a lot, prior I had the stock struts and Eibach Pro springs. This is much more planted, no bounce, great feedback but not harsh at all. Overall a really balanced feel. Another person described it as a more euro feel and I'd have to agree with that as a way to describe it.

First time taking my mustang to Chuckwalla down here in southern california. Been a track enthusiast for many years but never driven at CVR. Such a challenging and fun track. Lots of double apex's, increasing radius turns followed by decreasing radius'. Really works your brain. Also the track is relatively new so its paved very very smooth. Definite plus! Heres a couple videos from my first 2 sessions still learning the lines. Went off the track a couple times (everyone loves those)

I still have the Ford Racing springs, and, good timing, I was just thinking about how I might swap some more aggressive springs in.

I'd like the new springs to drop the nose a bit to emulate the factory tilt, but not drop the car much more than the 1 inch the Track Package already has done... So vs. factory PP, I'd like the fronts to be 1.5 inches lower, the rear 1.2 inches lower ~ thereabouts. Also would be fine with a firmer / bit harsher ride as long as there is an appreciable performance gain..

Any help is appreciated track bros-

Not Us, my Coach from when we were in Massachusetts in his 2003 SCCA Mustang in the rain on Hoosier Wets at Palmer. 2:07's were good enough for 1st today in T70. Point of reference We ran our 2015 in the dry last year there mostly stock and ran 1:55's. Not a place you want to have an incident. A BMW ended up on it's roof (no injures).

Outstanding!!!!!
First thing - hard to get around the camera perspective, do you have some kind of pendulum setup?
Second thing - I have to drive that course some day, omg!
Third thing - wow, fast!!

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the camera mount, but I haven't made time to make a better one. It's just attached to my helmet.

It's a fun course for sure! I still like VIR better. The uphill esses are heavenly. I would love to get out your way to Laguna Seca one day. Thanks for the kind words. I think the car has a 35 in it with a set of A7's and in the December cool air, but this is about as fast I want to push the car without a cage and the other safety mods.

Lime Rock Park 6/11/16
2016 Gt PP, GT350 Manifold/JDM tune, GT350R wing, GLoc R18/R12 pads, Ford M-5300-X springs, Ford Track Struts/shocks, Continental Slicks 285/305-18 x 10 Team Dynamics wheels. 1:01.87
The GLoc pads performed very well, comparable to the Carbotech XP24/12 combo I usually run. I will have impressions on wear this afternoon when I change back to street pads but looking in the wheel looks like it's normal. Had rain that washed out 2 sessions and one wet/dry session. Skies finally cleared for Happy Hour where I made this run.
Please turn down audio since I am having stutter issues with harry's and my iPhone 6.

Also, how are you liking the GT350 IM with JDM tuning? Are you using the stock TB or GT350 one? Thanks.
