What did you do to your Aussie S550 today..

So you'll have footage of...duelling banjos?

I'm thinking of changing the colour of my OEM wheels from black to silver (2-pack respray). Finally came across a yellow GT with silver wheels, so I took a photo of a wheel and cloned it onto a pic of my car. Definitely think I'll go with the silver.

Also toying around with a Mach 1 style red stripe on the side skirt. Not sure about that mod, ...your thoughts?

The silver rims look great,better than the black in my opinion.

Black and red a great combo on a grey car. Silver looks good but you don’t need another colour on an already good composition. Can it be that you are just looking for something to do with your car?

I feel that the silver wheels really stand out and are a definite good look on the grey. Another reason is that the black shows up the unrelenting brake pad dust on the wheels so easily, so over it.

Winter is here so it’s cold and wet. Best to just rug up and stay inside.

Like it all except the red over the splitter. That band is too wide compared to the new stripes.

Your car so obviously you do as you please.

Nice work on the pics. IMHO silver wheels are good, red stripe not so much but that could be due to the proportions as to me it looks a bit 'half there' . Maybe try something bigger like an older style Boss stripe and see how it looks?

Not sure what the cost of a proper respray is or how resprayed wheels would hold up to scrubbing vs say powdercoating, could it be worth looking into a set of used Nickel lustre wheels?

No-one comes to me for fashion tips but personally I reckon the red looks fantastic. Agree that black wheels show brake dust which is why I go for charcoal on my cars, I also find that gloss black makes wheels look smaller than they are, the mustang stock wheels have a lot of spokes so the black can sort of make it all a bit dark, save that you have the red callipers to set it off.

But in this case and bearing in mind that the collar and cuffs should match, I would stick with black wheels to be consistent with your stripes. That's me though, my family walks about 10 paces behind me so that they can deny association.

Had planned items install by CRD in Sydney:

* H&R Coil Overs; talking to the installation tech, these were ordered as per the Tickford developed Mustang valving, tailored to local road types. Started with just a 20mm drop for visual effect.
* Mishimoto Overflow Tank
* Steeda Jacking Rails
* New Michelin Pilot Sports

The car seems much more responsive to steering input & corner with less roll but is still compliant / comfortable on Sydney's potholed roads.
A few hundred Kms around town and very happy so far. Bigger test will be the road trip to Melbourne & return we are doing over the Queens Birthday week.

Will be looking into 20" square set up as the next update.

My 3 year old granddaughter saw my car under cover and remarked that granddad’s car was hiding.

Swapped the RLCA from a Steeda spherical to a Superpro bushing, jacked the rear up by 12mm (2 x 1/4" spacers) and had it aligned. With a whole 100km done since, so far so good.

If you're contemplating a spherical for the RLCA don't be worried about NVH, the no additional NVH claim is accurate at least in the case of the Steeda unit.

I concur re no increased NVH with the Steeda spherical RLCA bearing. Much improved rear end behaviour too.

I'm interested why you changed to the Superpro bushing?

 

[GT 550]

I wanted to prove if there was a difference in NVH. Also I saw a thread on here some time ago where some of the more informed suspension folks (TeeLew and BMVK) suggested that because the Superpro absorbs shock better than the spherical it reduces the potential for introducing stress into the pickup points, although to be fair no such issue has been reported.
