I Purchased the vehicle March 25th and have been enjoying this vehicle ever since. I love the positive attention and thumbs up I get. This is my first Mustang, I would have never got one if it wasn't for the new IRS setup.












This is the first vehicle I have acquired where power was not an issue, so to start attacking the weaknesses I began with addressing the well-known IRS weaknesses. I started out with the Boomba rear vertical links. Already, these have made a significant difference in dynamics while reducing wheel hop.

You've just opened Pandora's box. The mods will start flowing in. Look forward to seeing this develop.
Thanks, I will post updates as the mods get installed. I figure I am going to have this vehicle for a long time so might as well enjoy it. Next up is the BMR Cradle Lockout. :cheers:

Finally made time to get the Steeda differential inserts installed and man do they make a difference. I am not receiving any added NVH or MT-82 gear whine with these installed. Power comes on hard without any delay. Next up... BMR Cradle Lockouts.

More goodies arrived and installed. I did not plan to purchase this but after reading about this part in the other thread, I figured $18 dollars is more than worth it to avoid worrying about replacing the rubber bushing later on. I will be installing the BMR Cradle Lockouts next.

How are you liking the energy suspension shifter bushing?

To me, I don't have a problem with the stock shifter. Sure it's notchy, but it's a lot better in comparison than my old sloppy shifter that had 180K+ miles on it. $18 is enticing me to try the bushing though. Any troubles or frustration with the install?

Loving it, for the money I paid for it (compared to pricier options that use an aftermarket bracket that do the same thing) It feels like I came out like a bandit. The install was cake; there was plenty of room around the lunchbox and driveshaft to work. More tech info on the Energy Suspension shifter bushing can be found here: http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55442

Update: No pictures of this one but motor/trans mounts installed! The motor mount started out as nightmare. We snapped one of the bolts upon installation of the driver side so that's when I decided to stop and take it to a shop to get it done and get an alignment (needed one after installation of the IRS parts anyway) while at it.

Needless to say the I am loving the way the engine sits dropped 1/4" (lower center of gravity FTW!). Now I have room for a GT350 strut tower bar. :D The car feels and sounds badass with all 3 mounts done. No need for an exhaust now; plenty of noise inside of the car without attracting unwanted attention outside the car. ;)

Next mod: MMR LW Water Pump Pulley and perhaps GT350 strut tower bar down the road.

So finally after getting the correct 3-bolt lightweight MMR pulley I got it on about 7 minutes. Also posted a picture of the engine lowered 1/4" by the BMR MM007s. :cheers:
