Proper Setup to be Flush with Fender

[Doctor Fishtail]

I just have 20" Foundrys, lowered with Steeda linears in the back and BMR drag springs up front, and everything steeda makes all over and around the IRS along with Viking Crusaders..... rear alignment set to -.5 camber and 0 toe....

I can post a picture if you want but I haven't chosen my wheel and tire setup yet.....probably will be some Welds on a drag radial around 27-28 inches out back between 285 and 315 wide....

Ah ok. Thanks for the info. Is that a Vette C6 next to the Mustang? We just traded in our 2012 C6 Grand Sport. After driving home from trading in I was not very happy with the Mustang PP compared to our Vette.

Why did you trade then?

We need the back seat among the Corvette tax. I did not test drive the Mustang. Why? Because I knew I would be swapping out suspension. For the moment I am going for H&R springs with the Hotchkis Sway bar set. They will be here mañana.

Add some new dampers to the equation while you have everything out

One of these years I'm gonna get back into a vette. Maybe when I turn 40

I am waiting for the Konis. I am giving the H&Rs + PP Dampers a chance. The PP sucks in my opinion. Now consider I am saying this after getting out of our Vette.

I agree, and it's ultimately why I changed my order from a PP car to a non PP. It just really isn't that good. Ford should have done a much better job on the dampers, springs, and tires for sure. Comparing the 1LE option to the PP option makes me wonder what Ford was thinking.

If you don't want to wait for the Koni's check out the FRPP track dampers. No doubt some Koni yellows will outperform, but for a mostly streetcar I really like the track dampers and it seems everyone else does as well judging by the reviews.

I had Konis on my Ford Focus ST and DAMNNNNNNN they rocked. Now in the back of my mind I am thinking would these FRPP dampers really be worth the $$. What is the best price you have found these for??

Ha! I had a FoST too.

Not totally sure, but I think they can be had for around $550 shipped. I paid a little over $600 shipped cause I bought them when they first came out and bought off eBay. Check with the two Ford parts suppliers here to get best prices.

NEVER Buy car parts off Ebay. Chances are they are pirate products. You may not even have Ford dampers on your on your car. Not saying for sure but be careful. Always buy from a reputable vendor. Amazon is also known for pirate products.

Lol they're definitely Ford parts. Everything from the FRPP box to the stamps on the dampers. I got them from blueovalindustries iirc.

Ok. Not saying for sure but I never take a chance with Ebay crap. Especially with suspension parts.

Here we have a 20x10 and 20x11 FlowForm FF15 wheel set up that is just about as flush as can be. Also we have Eibach springs equipped so it should be spot on what you're looking for.

Hope that helps!
