Thanks guy's! Absolutely zero issues with rubbing/speed bumps or scraping. So far 150 miles on the springs and a couple of high speed runs (60-140) car still handles incredible and looks so good with the new drop. 7/8th's up front and 1/4 rear got rid of that reverse rake look it had from factory.

Man, must be a massive difference in roads compared to here in Taxachusetts. Shelby installed an adjustable spring setup on my car, which at the lowest setting dropped my car 1 3/4" from factory. As you might imagine, my car hit everything but the lottery. I raised it to a 50% drop (7/8") and it still hit pretty often. I raised it up to about 1/2 total drop before I stopped hitting everything like a blind man's cane.

Your car does sit nice now, congratulations.

Nice to see you back in a Shelby @Diego's_GT350, great car! I always liked shots of your GT350 on those M-X2s. I'm excited to see where you go with this one and glad to see a build thread.

Wow, beautiful car. Looks amazing on those lowering springs.
Congrats.

Where did you get the mirror covers from?

@Diego's_GT350 how was the tuning…..its been a mother effer tryna get pdb to get my files and stuff for the 500. Did u use a dyno or street pulls? Anyway u can shed some light on what im doing wrong?

Ordered from Lethal Performance. They arrive tomorrow. I’ll post up pics w how they fit and all.

All was straight forward w street tuning. Did all remotely. Car Runs fantastic w no issues and around 200 miles on the E85 tune so far.

I do trust this method w tuning but I am also planning a dyno tune session w PBD after the holidays just to make sure all is well.

I just followed the instructions they gave me step by step w loading tune, logs etc.

I am part of that gold level status tuning crap so after winter when i switch to e85 and injectors i’ll do it.

Did u do a pulley? Or are you? I have a cold air, 2.8 pulley, “Performance down pipes”, resonator delete

I stayed on stock pulley. No other mods just JLT Intale, ID1050X, Division X Fuel Rail and the PBD E85 tune. Stock exhaust

I am debating the pulley upgrade. Will probably just do exhaust next. Not sure if I’ll touch headers yet.

The pulley is pretty involved but once they put the hub on, swaps are quick. Get the whipple tensioner too. The one thing no one tells you is the supercharger bolts are torque to yield. I had to wait a week to get them.

No one makes catless pipes anymore, i had to have them custom made

Nice job with the tasteful mods. Which front bumper lower turn signal lights are those? They look like LED. Did you remove the bumper to install them and any problems with warning interior lights?

side note, I’m looking into converting the OEM HIDs to OEM mustang LED headlights, have you considered this MOD, I can’t believe that the standard Mustang comes with LED headlights and our GT500’s come with HIDs

Ha I didn't even realize that we missed out on the LED headlights
