I have not run them on my Mustang yet, but I did have them on my Audi S4. They are excellent. They do not have a very high initial bite, but otherwise they are a great performing pad for the street. When my fronts are done I will be replacing them with the 1521.
I have a lot of track...
With the base system you are probably safe. With the Shaker system that has the built-in amplifier/dsp you can pretty much guarantee that there is not a full signal going to the rear speakers.
I'm not aware of anyone measuring the frequency response of either system though.
All the synchromesh fluids have a higher viscosity than the factory qdc fluid. The QDC fluid has ATF like viscosity properties.
IIRC royal purple is one off the lightest synchromesh fluids. There is a good article on bitog.com about all of them. Google should pull it up.
If you are...
I have this one:

I bought from an online vendor I found through google. Used it twice already.
It seems like a simple USB to OBDII cable. It should cost significantly less than it does IMO considering the software used to do...
I read mixed results with Royal Purple Synchromesh. Some love it and some say they had bad results using it.
I stay away from everything Royal Purple simply because of the cost. Their oil hasn't been special in a long time now to justify what they charge for it.
BG Syncro Shift II, Amsoil...
Just flashed my car in the garage via RDT with the new calibration. Takes about 5-7 minutes or so. All went well.
I'll drive it around this weekend and see how it feels.
The gap between a good street pad and a good race pad is enormous.
Get a dedicated set of pads for the track and change them before/after you track the car.
Might be a good mod and might not be.
You want the transmission fluid to warm up as quickly as possible. That design might contribute to that (I don't know).
In a cold climate this might do more harm than good (or might not do anything at all).
Takes about 10-15 minutes to do the flash assuming you have the voucher code.
The shop should charge no more than an hour. Most charge one hour minimum for anything.
I'm trying to do this now.
RDT wants a Voucher Code, Voucher Family, and Tear Tag.
I have a 10 digit alpha numeric code from the survey.
When I enter the original information from the kit RDT tells me I already used the voucher code.
I cannot enter the new 10 digit alpha numeric...
