I would assume the same, having shops do the press job may cost another $50-80. Still, for nearly $500, I will need to read many reviews before committment. I also read it somewhere that the ball joint is not too easy to get pressed out.

S550 platform is not good enough to justify $14k aftermarket wheel upgrade, no matter how light they are. Although buying them as part of GT350R is a good value.

I am also waiting for more feedbacks before pulling the trigger. Is the J&M package the cheapest route for a non-pp GT?

Do it, you can get all the tools, even an impact gun, for less than $500. Plus you learn how to do it, so when you want to change to something else or even go back to stock, you won't have to spend $$$ again.

I used a zip tie, works fine.

Even with the stock A/S tires, I feel the mustang is no less capable than the average cars on the road (think of mid-2000 Camry etc). If other drivers can manage it, why cannot you? Just don't be a hero all the time, ego is the largest enemy.

Looking very impressive, and I think a lot ppl will be very interested in shedding 100 lbs in the front, especially with the V8.

Actually it's not too bad, no more often than tire rotation. Again, thanks for answering the questions. :)

About how often do you need to re-apply the grease? I always like the kind of mods that do not necessitate additional maintenance.

Would there be any maintenance required for the bearings in the long run? The same question applies to vertical links bearing, rear shock mount bearing, caster plate bearing. I always fear that debris might get between the ball and the housing, scratch the surface and make noise.

my 4 speaker system is acceptable with after-market speakers, I imagine the 9 speaker system can only be better. Anything more expensive, in my opinon, would be overkill since Mustang is not quiet/refined enough to benefit from better sound systems.

I can take the stock springs if you are willing to separate. I am in SF and can come over to pick up.

Not sure if anyone has shared the dyno graph from Levittownford for the PP2. http://www.levittownfordparts.com/ford-performance-mustang-performance-intake-calibration-power-pack-p-5001.html Dyno starts at 1k which is much lower and more helpful to tell the torque gain in the 1-2k range. Not...

Thanks for the input! I have the koni yellow and steed shock mounts now, and I think I would experience similar improvement.

Based on your sig, I would assume you prefer stiffer non-lowering springs. Do you think lowering the car has additional side effects other than scrapping (assuming the same spring rate)? I am thinking of swapping springs again and I have already gone through stock non-pp, eibach pro-kit and...

Thanks for the feedback, I share similar experience with the ride quality of Steeda progressive over rough surface. For pure ride comfort, I guess it is always better with a softer spring. It's really a question of whether someone wants to trade some comfort for handling by having stiffer...

The transmission oil does make a noticeable different in shifting effort, for the money it's worth it. I cannot tell the difference from the rear differential oil change, but based on the look of the original diff oil (sticky black as ink), I think it should be changed anyway. I have one...

Like many other mods, you feel the difference right after you do it. Then in a few days you get used to it and don't think anything has changed.

Swap the v8 with a v6 while you are at it. jk.

Yes, the ride the more compliant and less shaky on rough roads. Downside: front end is less direct, need to turn up the rebound damping. ALso over large potholes the impact seems more pronouced. This may be due to the fact that the "helper spring" part becomes the working spring with large travel.
