- TeeLew replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.I 100% advise to get AJ"s kit. Go with 450 front spring (stiffest it will accommodate). It really helps the front of the car to have a stiffer platform. It's a big deal and unlike what a book would tell you, it does not increase understeer. I... (see full post)
- TeeLew replied to the thread Do we have a list of spring rates for the S550 like the S197 thread has?.The wheel-to-spring motion ratio is 0.52.Spring rate @ wheel= spring rate * mr^2It's a lot closer to 1/4 the rate, not 1/2. (see full post)

ffhillclimber replied to the thread Do we have a list of spring rates for the S550 like the S197 thread has?.Because the rear springs are located about half way along the lower suspension arm on the IRS, the wheel rate (rate at the wheel) is about half the spring rate because of leverage.

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread HPDE tires.100% yesAnd in the case of the Goodyear Supercar F1 3R, the tread width on the 305 is actually a little wide for an 11" rim. See post # 127. (see full post)
Zellion_GT replied to the thread Autocross/HPDE/Street Tires.ok so I'm reading the comments. yes the car is bone stock. I plan to upgrade suspension eventually but probably next year. I originally wanted to buy wider rims and do 305 all around, but I didn't wanna spend the money on rims right now. 90% the...

Steve68Cougar replied to the thread What is everybody using to lift their Mustang off the ground?.I've got the 7000lb version of QuickJacks. One of my better purchases. They're quite easy to use, and they don't get in the way very often. I've got jacking rails on the Roush for when I'm at the track, too. If you're wanting to lug a set of... (see full post)

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread HPDE tires.Not sure what sizing actually means but the same size pilot sport 4s appeared to be exactly the same size as the trofeos sitting side by side (see full post)-

Yes, he was running 305 on the front and 315 on the rear, the tires Ford puts on the Dark Horse with handling package. 10.5" and 11" wheels.The Trofeo RS 315/30R19 could fit up front with an 11" wheel. It has a very narrow tread width compared...

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread HPDE tires.What is your specs on square 11” wheels? et52 with spacer ? (see full post)

the rears on a Dark Horse handling packs are 11" but also the tire is 315 isn't it ? Otherwise that tire would have served very well as a rear tire was my point.
