It’s one of those great measuring sticks that don’t show 4.9 inches. That’s the “Dark Side”. Maybe lookat the picture again and check the rear of your cell phone

Driveway clearance is an issue for me, but still keen to see how the car sits and drives with the HP springs, rear bar and a decent wheel alignment.It most certainly looks the part now . A good fit. Unfortunately (as we all know) Covid has led to shortages globally so you’re lucky man to get Continentals in that size . Am with you on the HP springs, camber plates and rear bar. They’re next on my list, but would certainly like to hear how you go with it! Good luck with it. Where abouts are you getting it done?
The front splitter and rear spoiler really enhance the aesthetics with a much meaner stance, and of course better grip on the track if ever going that way. As a guide, pre suspension modifications will result in 13cm clearance with the front splitter on, measuring the ground to splitter edge. The underbelly pan of course is lower than that. A bit of caution on the roads, choosing the right crossovers and streets with little or no speed humps. Thankfully I can get in & out of my driveway no problems .
Completely agree regarding Ford nailing it with the HP cars. Would have been a nice option to order them with it all complete here in AU. Can’t complain to much though, as to just have the Mach 1 alone puts a smile on my face each time I open the garage and take her out.Driveway clearance is an issue for me, but still keen to see how the car sits and drives with the HP springs, rear bar and a decent wheel alignment.
Ill fit the HP suspension, I'm a mechanic by trade, been off the tools for years but still like to do as much of my own work as I can. A friend has a workshop I can access, so ill use his hoist and spring compressors etc to get it done.
Good to know how much clearance you have with the front splitter, ill fit that last, not looking forward to the inevitable ground scaping that will happen when its on. Thinking a front camera might help but still on the fence about that.
I'm a massive fan of how the HP cars look, you have to be happy with yours, Ford did a great job with the standard Mach 1's but they absolutely nailed it with the HP cars.
Thanks for the positive comments, Ill post up all the details when the suspension goes in, likely not until mid - late Feb at this stage.
Where did you get the Michelin pilot super sports?Tyres came in, couldn't wait
Pilot Sport 4S 285/35 R19 and Pilot Super Sport 305/35 R19, both with nice fresh DOT.
What tire sizes are you running in the front and rear? Also what brand are the tires? Thanks
There were two pieces available here in Europe. I see 4 in stock here now at national/European supplier and Michelin probably has some more in its EU storage.Where did you get the Michelin pilot super sports?
I need your exact size (305/35 R19).
Discount tire told me they are discontinued and most places online say they are on backorder.
I think the bigger question is how is the width of that tire/wheel going to sit flat in the well. Both Automotive Authority and Modern Spare have complete spare kits that fit Brembos.Thinking of having a 10.5” (Front) OEM Handling Pack wheel with a 305 tire as a spare for the trunk. Does anyone know if this front wheel and tire will fit on the rear for ‘emergency use‘ please ? Thanks.
