Mustangs are tragically undersprung on the front. Get AJ Hartman's Magneride kit with 400-450 #/in springs. It's a massive difference in driving and a lot less harsh than you'd think. Use the stock rear spring to start. A bigger front anti-roll...-
Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Suspension soft?.Ok great. Kinda what i was thinking. I’ll check out those springsThis kit i assume? Great site with lots of goodies but this with a stiffer sway bar should help a lot (see full post)

They're cheap and strong. You can get any gears you want. They're 1/2 the weight of a modern 6 speed. If you want to go back more street driving, swap back. If you...
Rodpwnz replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.I have AJ's kit ready to install - and I currently have compatible 400 front and 1100 rear springs. I guess I'll keep the 400 front and maybe get 800ish rear. Many people I trust have given me wildly different advice regarding front and rear...

Then about 400 miles later driving home from work engine went again and this time a... (see full post)

This is track mode. Seems like it still leans a bit much? Do i need white line or some other better sway bar? Factory magna ride. Or is is just a big heavy car thing

- TeeLew replied to the thread Over achieving street/track tires?.They're a little noisey and the grip limit isn't like the top level tires. All in all, though, they wear well and are completely usable tires. (see full post)
- 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...
