Junkyard Dog replied to the thread DSC Magnaride Controllers - Issues, Tunes, Experiences?.It's 2026.I have an S650.I was checking in to see if anybody had updated information available on Magneride aftermarket improvements. Technology keeps marching on. Is anybody (DSC?) helping the newest Ford Mustangs keep up?I don't see any... (see full post)-
Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Strut Tower Hole.Yeah, that is what I am trying to figure out. If I could get -3° with the Ford adjustable camber plate, then Vorshlag plates could wait a while. If not, then Vorshlag camber plates will probably be one of my first modifications to the vehicle... (see full post)

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Suspension soft?.Ok, that makes more sense. That is a lot of changes contributing each a bit to that 3 second reduction. Getting rid of ice mode. Brake pads. Suspension upgrades. power upgrades (your top speed was 13kph higher). But yes, the car does seem... (see full post)

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Suspension soft?.I know the Corvette guys have a former Chevrolet engineer with an aftermarket DSC programming that makes both street driving and track driving better. Softer and more comfortable on the street and reduced lap times on the track. They rave about... (see full post)

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Strut Tower Hole.Not yet. I’m gonna max it out with stock hole first. And it might get lowered so waiting to see what i want to do with front/rear springs. From all reports sounds like around -3 with stock hole but depends on the ford plate. Probably going to... (see full post)
Ewheels replied to the thread Strut Tower Hole.Not to derail this thread but.....keep going to the track. Everyone is always so friendly and inviting; you never know who you'll bump into. I was at a track day a few years back and Ben Sloss (google him....) brought out his Ford GT MK2 and was... (see full post)-
Ewheels replied to the thread Suspension soft?.If you wanted to add stiffness for the track while maintaining street manners, I think your best option would be AJ's kit at 400 lbs. The factory magneride shocks work quite well for a dual-duty car. Additionally, I hear great things about DSC... (see full post)
67GTA replied to the thread Big DaveW of CAMC fame is 55 today!.Happy Birthday @DaveW ! (see full post)
bnight replied to the thread Suspension soft?.Mostly was because I had my suspension setup really soft and the car was just so soft taking tons of time to settle in corners. When I stiffen it the car started responding quicker:This is the original setup: Build List: Steeda Oil Separator FP... (see full post)-

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Strut Tower Hole.Did you ever cut the hole?I was waiting to see whether you ever answered the question of what was the maximum negative camber you could get out of the stock Ford camber plate, and I had not yet seen that answer (no pressure, but if you figured...

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Suspension soft?.Ok, so one vote for 450 minimum (a minimum 213% increase in spring over my stock Dark Horse handling package springs and 50 lbs stiffer than the options AJ Hartman offers on his web site - although we can call him to get stiffer ones). 500 was...

.........and we all know he can't drive 55, but if he is it is likely through a cornucopia of cones often through gates only 10 ft wide. Have a great Birthday my friend and a big thanks for all the new decals I got from your company , Solo...-
bnight replied to the thread Suspension soft?.All the Springs packages on the market that are just springs are sadly too soft on the front. But the go to at least for the S550 was the BMR SP083, because the rates were very close to the GT350R rates and from the factory the GT350R for me is... (see full post)

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread S550 dragoon ‘21 Mach1.Just started reading this and the guages intrigued me. I got a 2019 bullitt and the oil pressure guage doesn’t read high enough and the vacuum guage is stupid. What all do you have to do to get those guages functioning? Are they plug and play or...

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Strut Tower Hole.Basically the limiting factor at stock height is the strut tower hole. Either make it bigger or trim the strut to fit under hole. If you lower it it magnifies the amount of negative you can get either way. This is what i’ve gathered so far... (see full post)

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Suspension soft?.Are you happy with what you got? It’s better than most. But a 3-400 sounds better for dual use (see full post)
