What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

Agree Warhead ... 18's don't look good. Lose 'em.

Chef jpd · Apr 23, 2017

18's on your otherwise exceptional build just look wrong.

Installed the BMR CB005 IRS Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit...two words..holy mustang. The car now hooks and even slightly lifts in front when you put the hammer down. Just incredible.

Maybe it's just me, but I ran 18" on my 2005 also and actually like the balance of wheel & tire. I did consider going 19" but am happy with my ride. Never was big into the "how much wheel can I fit" approach, and I may be seeking more balance between comfort and performance than some on these boards.

Installed Steeda ultralte linear springs, Steeda black diffential inserts, and subframe alignment kit. Install was way more involved than instructions and videos make it out to be, but the ride quality is way more firm and less bouncy than stock PP suspension. The differential inserts definitely add some gear whine at 45 MPH and greater, but it's not bothersome

Had my Steeda Progressive springs, other suspension components and my Corsa Extreme catback installed this past week. Couldn't be happier with suspension and Exhaust I chose. Corsa extreme YouTube videos do not do this system justice...bottom line. Some before and after pics of the suspension drop:

Today I removed my sound tube, installed my Boost and fuel pressure A-pillar gauges, changed my differential oil, and installed my Singer 370A alternator.

Rinsed it off real quick (real wash on tues) and took it for a drive. Boost gauge wont work till Friday when the P1X goes in .

What kind of stereo you running that requires that much power and who did it for you? My truck has a simple 12" sub but it's a 79 and I think it's only 72 amp. I need an upgrade, tired of dead batteries.

[MENTION=27961]Semi[/MENTION] It's not installed yet, but I'm going to be running the following:

~8000W RMS
2 x 12" Fi Audio SP4v2 Subwoofers
Hertz Millie Legend Active 3 Way Front (Tweeter, Mid, Woofer)
Hertz Millie Pro Coaxial Rear
2 x Rockford Fosgate T2500-1bdcp (Rated @ ~3500W each)
Rockford Fosgate T600-4
Rockford Fosgate P400X4
Helix DSP Pro
370A Singer Alternator
XS Power D4700 Front
XS Power D3100 Rear
KnuKonceptz 1/0 AWG Power/Ground

I'll be installing it myself. The alternator was custom made by Singer Alternators. I highly recommend him, the owner is great at responding and helping with any concerns. Great product so far and I've read alot of good things on audio forums.

is the pulley smaller on the alternator? I know the 300+ mechman alternator requires a shorter belt because their pulley is smaller.

Yes the pulley is a bit smaller. The stock belt still works with it however with no belt slip so far.

Once I put some load on the alt though it could start slipping, so I am going to try to find a shorter belt. Not sure where to look though.

Took her out for a spin

Took her out for a spin 24900 miles on the odometer. Not bad for a 2 year old daily driver.
