What Upgrades/Mods are you going to do to your Mustang?

[aw081271]

Andre, I added the links a long time after adding Steeda's IRS subframe alignment kit and bushing support system as well as front and rear support braces. With these earlier additions I definitely noticed a nice firming of the suspension. With the links added, any difference was not noticeable in everyday driving.

I have already changed a few things on the chassis:

KW V3 coilover suspension

Front axle :
Riff Strut Brace
BMR CB006
4-point Chassis Brace

Rear Axle :
Ford Performance Knuckle To Toe Link Bearing Assembly

are still planned:
STEEDA IRS Subframe Alignment Bushes

STEEDA IRS Subframe Bushing Support System

Steeda Rear IRS Subframe Support Braces

do that Steeda Aluminum Vertical Links - Polyurethane Bushings make sense?

no Racetrack !!

Yes I went with the poly bushings.
@KermiStang tried the delrin bushings and said it was too noisy. I have absolutely no noise with the poly.

Ive just purchased these Differential bushing kit to add to my Steeda IRS subframe bushings alignment kit and IRS bushings support system.

Interested to know how you go, I'm wary due to the reports of NVH.

Borderline stitches but just glued it. Right in one of those places with all the creases that makes it hard to heal and cracks a lot when you move it, making it pretty useless for a while.

I'm glad it's a hand you're referring to...

It's hard to know when to stop with suspension but I think I'm now at that point.

See below for details but I've had this set up for 18 months and see no need to make any changes.

All these components work in concert but If I had to nominate the one mod that I felt the greatest immediate improvement, it would be the rear LCA bearing. Of course it's the most difficult / expensive in terms of installation!

I can feel the rear suspension working, i.e. absorbing bumps. The steering feels more composed, less fussed with mid-corner corrections. Without doubt, handling is the best aspect of my car - I just need to sort out the exhaust now.

Yes. You can go to the Powerstop site and do a look up for your car ie 6 pot brembos. #1792 for front and # 1793 for rear for our GTs.

I've just started exploring replacement brake pads for my 2018 GT. Looking for a quality street pad with less dust than the (original ??) pads I think have now. Wondering how your Z26's are going in terms of performance, noise and dust?

Any other alternatives worth consideration, especially ones ex stock Australia?

I think Hawk make low dust ceramic pads that will fit but not 100% sure.

G'day Graeme. I now have Powerstop Z26 Extreme on both front and rear. For me they stop well (probably better than the OEM), they have not been noisy one little bit and dust is significantly lessened. At the time of purchase Amazon was the best source.

I have the DBA T3 discs and pads (with braided lines) that provide improved performance over stock but I've been really happy with the ceramic coating wheel and caliper package for keeping things clean.

Just ordered a 2018 intake manifold with the gt350 87mm throttle body and a new tune.
Installed a Barton short shfter last weekend, 5 hours of pure enjoyment

So come on. How is the new shift?

 

[IM Stoner II]

Haven't run it yet on the road, still winter here in upstate NY, supposed to take for insurance pictures Monday...weather permitting. It feels really kinda stiff...my have to remove the springs.
We'll see

only a visual mid but I'm gonna get the callipers redone in orange fury next week. I like them to stand out against the black rims but red might not a great choice with the orange car, so safety orange it is. Should look good.

I agree, the factory finish on the Brembo calipers tends to fade away with black wheels. Those calipers are so sexy, I wish Ford had made them stand out a bit better.

I would love to have mine painted red to match my XR8.
