    Very interesting thanks. So the AJ hartman 400” conversion stiffer than anything on this chart by the looks of it? Do you leave the rest stock or get a sway bar upgrade? Some go softer bar in the rear from reading on here it seems. In anycase... (see full post)

    Thanks I recently upgraded the rears with extended lugs as well from OP Mustang. Needed to change the rear rotors out anyway.

    So true Bob as my hiatus from the track had me realize that it’s what you can control in the brain versus what’s not in your control around you. Those that know the photo I’m posting know what it’s like to figure this out after some learning.

    Barber is very 'chunking' friendly track. 1,2,3,4 is a chunk, 5 is a chunk, 7-8 chunk, 9-10 chunk, 11-12 chunk, 13-14 chunk. Now we're down from 14 corners to 6 'chunks' or complexes. These corners connect in a way which will be the fastest...

    I applaud you for driving your Stang in the Winter and in snow. It is a lost art required by most of us old farts where all wheel drive was almost non existent. A set of good snow tires all the way around and it is amazing how well many cars... (see full post)

    I'm sure this spreadsheet has been floating around the internet for a long while now but lines up exactly as you said. All so soft. (see full post)

    The vendor will tell him the same. And yes, 211 and 740. These were the Mach 1 spring rates as well. Early on, Ford kept stiffening the rear of the car more than the front GT, GT PP, GT350-350R-500 are increasingly more rear spring with minor... (see full post)

    So the internet gives me a formula that says the stock spring rate is only 211 #/in on the Handling Package for the Dark Horse. 742 in the rear.

    Another update!Installed the new Auto Blip last night and it works great! The install and calibration was very straight forward. No issues testing it out driving around the empty part of my neighborhood. I couldn't be happier with the product...

    I like doing the Weber and love the way it makes different foods taste. I usually handle that and Debby is the boss in the kitchen.

    Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Suspension soft?.
    Does that work with a newer, S650 Dark Horse? It says 18-23 (S550).Also, if it does work, please note that AJ Hartman says a maximum of 400 #/in. TeeLew is suggesting a range exceeding that, so you may want to check with the vendor prior to... (see full post)
