You installed all that for 2k?
Looking like less because I am selling all the brand new stock parts. The next steps are the GT350 gauge install and then radiator upgrade here is a progress pic. We also did a video of the build and all the upgraded parts to help someone else out. Stay tuned for the next phase. Thanks to Ford, The Jay Leno garage and big shout out to Shelby America. CJ pony parts, Steeda and AM. and of course Mustang 6G.
If you weren't installing yourself, the labor rates would be as much as the cost of all parts combined. The cheapest spring install rate in my whole area was $550, and then you would have to add another $95 for alignment. Brakes alone would be a couple hundred. Time is money for many of us.Looking like less because I am selling all the brand new stock parts. The next steps are the GT350 gauge install and then radiator upgrade here is a progress pic.

Many on here complain that the S550 doesn't have enough low end grunt, so taller gearing is the opposite of what they would want. Personally, I never minded the short gearing, I just don't like the spacing. Brake dust is worth the stopping power of the brembo pack. I also have magneride, so I don't experience harsh rides when I am just cruising around.
You are so correct
Believe it or not, a good driving doesn't really need PP1 brakes. I talk to guys all the time who track their 550's with the standard brakes (which are already better than previous Gens). With a high quality set of pads, they are very good for track driving. That said, the 6-pots are better, but not necessarily a "must have".
Definitely not if it's a street car. I've had both and you barely even notice a difference. Stock brakes on my '19 are excellent. And my front wheels aren't filthy after 10 miles. Win.
I drove a base 17 before ordering mine, and I can tell a big difference. Then again, I am a fairly aggressive driver, even on the street. I also rarely go more than a tank without washing the car.
IMO the PP1 is a bare minimum for a car that is driven spiritedly around corners. It's not really a track package, even. It just makes the car a competent handler when you actually push it (up to the level of a base Camaro SS, for comparison). The PP Level 2 and GT350 are a track package, GT350 more so.
