What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Rambl3r]

BC BR coilovers now, I was on stock PP struts/shocks/springs. I got grilled by all my car friends because I made the mistake of telling them the past few months that I was "staying stock" since I had the PP suspension already... HOWEVER... LOL, I got a decent deal on these and figured it was worth it. They were barely used, grabbed them for $650. Originally I would have just went with a set of springs but the cost plus having a little more customization goes a long way in the end so I figured why not. While I know BC isn't considered a top tier so far they seem to ride great. I have them set on 15 clicks which is right in the middle of soft and stiff. The ride is very comfortable. Not bouncy on my commute to work. Going over big bumps isn't harsh. It seems a little float almost at times so I might tighten them down a little bit. The car stays flat in curves now. Body roll isn't noticable anymore. The car certainly feels very planted and now I can feel the limits of the tires on hard turning.

I think your well past "staying stock" LOL.. Excellent choice though I noticed BC coilovers are popular amongst the Lexus crowd. I see them mentioned frequently when browsing Lexus forums for my IS. I haven't really seen too many negative comments regarding their ride quality.

[MENTION=22365]Aarron_M[/MENTION] - love the headlight tint, and rims! Details on the - well - both of those? I'll probably only do the tint - contemplating different rims - but those are great...

I have a bit of a theme going too.

Both of these cars look amazing IMO. What size 6GR's are you running and what tire set up? I am picking some up this weekend and could not be more excited!

Grabbed a picture yesterday evening of the new stance.

I have bc coil overs also, do you know what your settings are on your current stance? My car is a non pp and the handling difference is drastic.

Removed the resonator and replaced with an x-pipe; stock mufflers.

With the tint and alignment finished up today, finally done with a week or so of progress. Full Kooks exhaust (LT's, cats, H pipe, and mufflers), JLT intake, custom Dyno tune, Roush coilovers, BMR cradle lockouts, Eibach spacers, MGW shifter (love this mod, some of the best $ spent), 50% ceramic tint, and my paint guy added a bit of Kona to the plenum and coil covers. Love the way she drives , sits, and sounds now!!!

Stock exhaust was pitiful. I had the new exhaust system here before the car. lol

I have the borla sport sitting in my garage waiting for the car to get here as well. I'll drive it for a minute with the stock exhaust on though.

How long exactly did you last?

~600 miles.

Entirely because I was waiting for help, and the first weekend was a failure due to my stuff not having enough torque to break the bolts free.

 

[robertwsimpson]

wow nice. I'm wondering how long I will last.
