What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Harribo22]

That was the very first mod I did on my mustang back in 2018. Works great and still have it that way. If you look close you can see it under the eng cover

how hard was it to do the black lettering, I'm looking to do something similar with mine

I PM'd you with some details

Tinted the windows

I find it amazing how much better those wheels in grey look on your car compared to how they looked in black on my car.

I know what you mean. I absolutely hated the wheels on my ‘19 Bullitt

Yes, that's why I changed the wheels on mine.

Poof! Out goes the rear seats

Which seat delete kit do you have? How is the quality and was the install simple?

That was my one concern with the GT/CS, to the point where I was sure I was going to change them. However, upon seeing them in person, I do like them.

It is the speedform version from AM. My father did the install for me and said it wasn't easy. All the back trim needed to come out and the flimsy plastic brackets needed reinforcing/adjusting. He also had to reinsert the seatbelt locks because it threw warning codes on the dash. It looks good enough, but its basic....but then again, they all seem pretty basic unless you pay $700 for the FRPP version. Overall I am happy and lose a good amount of weight form the upgrade

added 1" of preload to my QA1 250lb/in spring, 9" long. This is with 3" of preload on the spring. I noted how the ride over square-edged bumps improved with the extra inch - cringe-worthy klangs replaced with rounded thuds... I'm probably getting very close to coil-bind at full compression (2" of travel left out of <3.5") and the nose of the car was definitely more lively after the change in corner-entry transition.

@TeeLew helpfully threw a bucket of cold water at me by pointing out the problem with this Fortune-Auto shock+spring combo is that the spring and it's perch are just slightly more than a finger's width from the 265/40 sidewall on 9.5" rims WITH the 15mm spacer in place. If no spacer and if I use a longer spring (10 or even 12") that will cause overlap with the sidewall and dangerous rubbing. The pic above is car at rest, so the whole assembly is thankfully sitting above the tire. I can probably get sufficient clearance by making sure the shock is angled for maximum deflection at the knuckle and locking it in-place with https://professionalawesome.com/product/strut-camber-locks/

and here is a close-up of @EmCel pink calipers. There is glitter all over the driveway and pink paint on the soap bottle, faucets, and well, everything she touched during the ordeal.

The Progressive Springs will have a constantly increasing rate, which relates to the spacing between each coil on the spring itself.

how about a nifty force/displacement chart? measured rate at 1", 2", 3" kind of thing?

 

[shogun32]

How big of a handling difference from the dual rate? Right now with progressive springs

the DR low rate is basically equal to the Prog's stiffest rate. the DR is a "committed" configuration and if you are happy with the Progs, I strongly suggest you leave it alone.

Wasted an hour checking CJ Pony Parts and American Muscle for Memorial Day pricing on the Ford Performance front Brembo upgrade kit. No joy. Still priced at $1,385.

it's just the calipers but...

Otherwise buy the kit from Steeda. $1200 and includes pads, braided lines and so forth. Ask for the M6G discount.

Looks good! I wish I could take credit for the irrigation valve idea but I found it in another thread on this forum. Whoever started this, look how your idea has taken off! ;)

No less, all of us using the same valve from the looks of it. If it ain't broke...
