My bad [MENTION=14692]Aus-MustangGT[/MENTION] I see you're running Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tyres 275's up front and 295's at the rear.

Have you had any issues at all fitting the wheels / tyres, and had to make any adjustments to the standard suspension settings ?
No issues at all 275/35/19 fronts and 295/30/19 rears in Mpss. As you know these rims can run wider tyres but I just can't source them in Australia other than pilot cup 2s which I would get about 6000km from them.

My only criticism about the MPSS is that they don't really like the steel rollers on the dyno and they squirrel around a bit.

Paul is great he will certainly look after you :cheers:

I have decided to get a Hennessey Carbon Fibre spoiler, even though I told myself that I wouldn't get any carbon. I will most likely also get some carbon fibre mirrors to dial the look in.

I have also purchased a FRPP black out panel, so now I have three decklids to choose from.

Over the next few weeks I will get my rims coated in G technique and also lower the car and install my CB005 and vertical links.

I took this picture before discovering the screen on my 5D Mark III had cracked. Oh well, you win some and you lose some

Hi mate, I love the look. Considering this setup as well. Can you confirm you used a 30 profile on the rear? My calcs would suggest 35 was a closer match to the original. Just started looking into this so I may be missing something obvious. :cheers:

I had to go and double check then looks like I had a typo up there I am running 295/35/19 rears and 275/35/19 fronts

Lowering and install time

So I recently had my Mustang lowered with a set of Vogtland Sport springs

Whilst they were underneath my car I also had the BMR CB005 cradle lockout kit installed and BMR Vertical links as I was sick of axle tramp (wheel hop)

The springs have been in for about 3 days now and there is no noticeable comfort difference to stock, the car is lower but not too low so I am very happy.

As for the vertical links and lockout kit [MENTION=9985]BMR Tech[/MENTION], honestly these should be OEM parts, they are absolutely amazing and I have now recorded a 0-100 of 4.7 seconds. They make no sacrifice in ride quality and there is no noticeable NVH difference, I wish I had have installed these earlier.

Thank you for choosing our Vogtland Springs. Cheers Fred
