    Anybody replace D-Specs with Bilstein HDs?

    Thanks for the info. I am currently addicted to finding all the suspension info I can, so this really feeds my buzz. I just ordered the Steeda Pro-Action Dampers (non adjustable) with my Steeda Sport Springs, for the same reason you discuss. The concept of adjusting my dampers to match my...

    GAS MILEAGE WITH 4 10 GEARS?

    yes, all you have to do is put it in first, mash the pedal, and wait about one second. I have 3.31s and hit 15mph all the time. Even on public roads. :lol: Sorry... I am being an ass. I checked my mpg after a day at the road course, and I had managed 7mpg. So yes, its all in how you drive...

    Should I sell?

    hold onto your baby. You'll miss it too much once you sell, plus, you have to figure, the car has a greater value in Macedonia than it does in the states, supply and demand. There are much fewer Mustangs in Macedonia, even fewer modded mustangs, so their value can be very high. You could...

    GAS MILEAGE WITH 4 10 GEARS?

    okay, clearly Chad is the one to answer this, but its important to note that he has the T6060 transmission (out of a GT500?), so he has 6 gears instead of our measly 5. That would be, I would guess, why he went with the 4.56s. The sixth gear is a bit taller in the 6060 than in our 5speeds...

    How to modify for Road Racing

    Well, suspension ordered. Let the waiting game begin. I went with Steeda rear sway bar with billet endlinks. Then I was concerned that would be too uneven with a completely stock front end, so I ordered the Steeda sport springs and four Steeda Pro-Action shocks and struts. Now with the...

    How to modify for Road Racing

    good advice,both Walter and Sanctus. I am much more excited about adding some sways then springs. Its just tempting to get a suspension package because you save money that way. I'll probably put on some sways and pedals before the next rack day. The questions is, should I get Eibach, FRPP...

    How to modify for Road Racing

    Hi Sanctus, thanks for posting. I also have been bitten by the track bug, though have not been able to afford it much lately... Anyhow, I am looking to upgrade the suspension and curious what you think of the Eibach Springs and Sway bars. I can get Eibach springs and bars for ~650, compared...

    Anybody replace D-Specs with Bilstein HDs?

    agreed. I did not mean to imply they were only for track use. Just that, in comparison to Eibach, the Steeda's might be more performance oriented, and a bit more bumpy. I do like the look of the Steeda's more than any other spring. Its too bad you cant try all this stuff out before you...

    Anybody replace D-Specs with Bilstein HDs?

    Well, I dont run D-specs, but I have been doing a LOT of research on suspension. From other sites, I have gathered that D-specs are do have their detractors. I hope I wont get flamed for saying that. That is in regard to shock lifespan though, not actual ride quality. The sentiment seems...

    colorado mustang okay, so this is horrible shot of the car, but I thought it was funny. This is at a wedding location (I am a wedding photographer), and you have to drive about a half mile on a dirt/rocky road to get there. Its really no problem, all sorts of regular cars drive on the road...

    How to modify for Road Racing

    okay, I know this is a super old thread, but it was very informative, and I think I can solve the mystery of why rear brakes fade for anyone doing google searches... I was told to never apply your parking brake (e-brake) during a track day. The brakes need to be loose while cooling down...

    Jay Leno to be on TOP GEAR!! WOOT!!

    I think that link is a huge scam. I just get pop-ups for **** sites and other random crap. I would be concerned it is a source of spyware/malware. The only place I have been able to view Top Gear is on YouTube, hours after it airs, and before the BBC is able to take down the vids. If the...

    Jay Leno to be on TOP GEAR!! WOOT!!

    You know he sold the GT for a Lambo Gallardo Spyder. I am not sure what he drives today... oh wait, I think its some version of a Merc SL.

    Jay Leno to be on TOP GEAR!! WOOT!!

    I know, that was super annoying. Especially when you notice that they make the point of saying BRAKE horsepower whenever they review a car. They clearly know the difference, they just decided to be asses with the GT500 review. I wanted to kick that stupid marker out of, (what is he called...

    2010 Rear End Poll

    You know, in looking at it. I think the major problem is just in the lights themselves. Here is a photochop that I think helps. With better lights, and better rear diffuser, I'm not sure Ford would even need to change the stamping. This could be fixed in the aftermarket. I just need to...

    2010 Rear End Poll

    I hate it. I sat in a 2010 today in the dealer showroom. In person or in photos, the rear is miserable design. The competition, (camaro), looks amazing from every angle, so to have even one "debatable" angle is a huge problem. I think Ford is falling into a design trap here. They...
