I'd take a GT350 over just about any Porsche you could name, and I'm with you on the Cayman handling. I even looked at a white/blue stripe car - the mirror of yours - before I bought my Mach 1 but the LHD, parts availability, lack of any kind of warranty and probably only three places you could...

Mine was a 2014, and it’s certainly among the most proficient cars I’ve ever driven - though I’d say my Cayman R had better balance and could be much more easily placed on narrower roads. My problem was that I found the Turbo uninvolving at sensible speeds on the road, you’re barely able to use...

/raises hand slowly …does previously owning 5 count? I ran my Mach 1 alongside my 991.1 Turbo for six months, then sold the Porsche… I’m probably the exception that proves the rule and all that, but I guess it can happen! :) -0.

The satin finish of the HP wheels is a match for the mirrors / front bumper inserts / wing (if you have it painted grey) so that might be worth considering if you want to stay OE. The wheels are a bit fiddly but a set of Wheel Woolies brushes and good quality cleaner works for me. Properly...

I think @Mikepol2 has the wider PP2 wheels on his car so might be worth searching that out as I think it looks great. These aren’t the optional non-HP Mach wheels that are the same design so will give you an idea of tyre height for those wheels on the HP spec tyres. I went with HP wheels when I...

I’ve got the exact same issue - except it’s the driver’s side for me as my car is RHD :) I’m also ignoring it until I need the front bumper removed at some point then I’ll get it looked at. Glad it’s not just me but sorry other folks have this problem too! -0.

Thanks @WD Pro :) I've done some (most?) of your list to my car to bring it as close to US HP spec as possible, or at least what I think is worth it! - Wheels, Tyres, TPMS set - Front Wheel Lip Mouldings / Rear Splash guards - Springs, Sway Bar, Camber Plates + Strut tower brace - Splitter...

Nice! One quick tip (you may be able to guess how I know about this) - make sure you route the washer jet hose properly around the driver's side FP Hood Strut, otherwise it can get crushed! I think there is a thread about that somewhere on here... -0.

Totally agree that the Cup2s aren't suitable at all for the street, I went with the PS4S in standard HP sizes and have been happy with them. I've been OK with stock HP ride height too, our roads are infested with speed bumps where I live, but going slow and being careful with angles is working...

We're quite lucky here in the UK that there is a performance specialist who brings in a lot of S550 parts - I bought a lot of my parts from there, mainly the big stuff! I probably could have done it cheaper if I'd brought it over myself with a shipping agent / consolidator, but I was happy for...

If you're worried about the drop on the Steeda Dual rate springs then the Ford Mach 1 HP springs have slightly less drop: 0.5" for the Ford vs the 0.75" (I think) for the Steeda ones. Not a great difference but I wanted to keep all the ride height I could! I also stuck with the Ford M1 HP camber...

Dave at Levittown confirmed today that they the same as well, which is good news for me! I'm guessing mine don't have the pin in the photos as that seems to be used by the factory for assembly but that might not be needed when retrofitting. I'd get the -MDH kit if doing it again, think the...

Will do! I am pretty sure mine are adjustable - the shop that fitted them would have known for sure and would have told me if they weren’t. Looking at the other thread I just couldn’t see the pin lthat @WD Pro helpfully highlighted in his photo, and the design of the M-18183-MDH plate looks a...

Yes - I've got the first type (KR3Z-3D008-A) , which I got in 2022 but I'm now concerned I've got the 'wrong' type and the M-18183-MDH might be better, I was looking at this today as the other thread got me worried! I've just asked Levittown Ford Parts - who I've used for a lot of the HP bits...

Yes, I thought that the wheels really improved the stance but needed the more aggressive splitter / wing to balance them out. Good catch - I did not replace the shocks, should have said sway bar, so my bad! :) Apart from the Steeda bits, just about everything else is Ford / Ford Performance...

Here in the UK our specs don't 100% match US/Canada cars, I think they would all be sort of 'premium' as our only options were transmission, colour, seats and wheels. I did mine in phases so have some photos from day of collection - right away I added a Steeda Stop the Hop full kit, strut tower...

I've checked my invoices and those part numbers match the ones I fitted to my car as part of my HP upgrade - we didn't have the option to buy HPs over here. I also wanted to keep everything Ford OEM as well, so was happy to stick with the Ford camber plates. Interestingly the specialist shop...

Another +1 for the AA spare here! Fit is great, just like in @BlkMach10510's photo. I lined the bottom of my wheel well with some anti-slip matting and used tool bags to minimise any chance of rattling from the jack too. -0.

Credit to @kb19 for this but I believe he recently confirmed with Ford Performance that: "The Magneride tuning is the same for all Mach 1's (HP and non-HP). Confirmed this with Ford Performance when shopping for the upgraded handling and asked if the Magneride needed to be reprogrammed to take...

If you want to stick to the 35 profile tyres, I'd just shamelessly copy @MLO 351 and go with Continental Sport Contact7 front and rear. 285/35 ZR19 103Y on the front, 295/35 ZR19 104Y on the rear. There's also a 100Y available in the 295/35 but I'd avoid that and go for the 104Y as this is...
