Surprise! :shocked: Another thread talking about the clunk/rattle from the rear of these cars.
I've got the BMR CB005, Steeda Jacking Rails, Steeda Billet Shock Mounts, and Steeda non-adj Struts and shocks.
The clunk/rattle - let's say crattle - only happens when the right rear wheel goes...
I've had great luck with the BMR CB005 and the Steeda Pro Action non-adjustable shocks and struts. I have the stock base GT springs and these work very well with them. I'ce posted a review elsewhere in this forum on this setup.
As you research this, you'll note some people wish they could add...
It's always a balancing act, isn't it? You want the car to handle great, but you still have to get to work, go to the store, etc.
Now, if this were a dedicated track car....
To recap, I've installed the non-adjustable Pro Actions on a non-PP suspension Mustang GT.
A step back here - the base GT suspension was good. I believe it met the requirement for a comfortable touring car. Non-jarring, smooth ride, quiet. It did lean on track days and it did wiggle, and boy...
Norm_Peterson, I could not get CG Lock to clamp onto my 2016 seatbelts. Were you able to do that? That was why I ended up going with the Schroth Quick Fits. I send the CG Locks back...
Yeah, I always buy the Lockton track day insurance. Agreed value policy. It adds a few hundred to the track day expense, but worth it IMO.
The stock seats do suck for track day. You're holding on for dear life in them. I purchased some Schroth quick fit harness over the winter and will be...
Having just done the install on one of these kits, I would say it is possible...but you get a lot of extra room to work with the rear wheels off - especially on jack stands because you are on your back.
Also, with the rear wheels loaded, it will make it more difficult to shift the cradle...
Thanks. I am happy with the stock spring rate and ride height. It's my DD.
These cars do look fantastic lowered!! But I don't think that solution would work for me (yet).
I do a few HPDE's throughout the summer months and am not looking for hard laptime increases. Just want to to drive in...
Just pulled the trigger on a set of non adjustable pro action front and rears. Sprung for the billet rear mounts too. I'm keeping the stock non-pp springs on the car; don't want to lower it due to the roads here in the northeast. I'll post back with a review once I install them! Steeda ensures...
The best upgrade for your first few track days is to upgrade the drivers seat by installing your ass in it. Get some seat time first before you spend and don't get "forum fever"!
Just finished the road test after installing the cb005. Install time was less than 2 hours with jackstands. No issues lining up the cradle.
Really do notice the difference. No more arse-jiggle in corner transitions!! Running base GT suspension, (yeah, I love the COMPLIANT base suspension, body...
