Sorry to ask, but, if you don't ask . . .Why is the stock system not a coil over but a strut?I mean, there is a coil over the shock absorber or damper system. When I search, "What is a coil over" the answer is pretty much the same thing as...
Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.So what was wrong with the Gloc 16/12? That was recommended to me by Tim at OP mustang for my Dark Horse. Over braking the rear? (see full post)-
I have the GT500 dampers on my car now with 240F/850R FP springs, and have been very happy with this setup as a comfortable street and casual track day car. These spring rates are also similar/better than the GT350R, so I would consider it prime...

Maybe a question for Tim but could I run G-locs in the front and OEM pads in the rear? For the street/track, I would swap the front pads and rotors as I have 2 sets of front rotors. I would run OEM pads on the street so wouldn’t want to mix brake...

I was able to get around -2.2 or - 2.3 up front , so not alot more and I had the rear at -1.75. Having run Road Atlanta a couple of times you definitely need brakes at 10A and I always kept my OEM pads for back up. You might contact OP Mustang...

Completely understand, there are many folks with M&M Camber plates and as I mentioned I had a set on my GT 350, and I forgot that I also had a set on my Boss 302 LS. If you are going to Road Atlanta do check those pads as you will be eating them...

@Bill Pemberton Do you remember the max negative front camber you got with the MM camber plates? And were you on lowering springs? At recent events at Road Atlanta, I feel less confident with the brakes into 10A (after the long back straight). I...
bnight replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.My last track day was on really brake intensive track. And I was mighty impressed with how that brakes package performed as people were struggling with brakes. The DSUno is very easy to modulate but also aggressive and with great stopping power...

Rodpwnz replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.This is going to be my setup as well - how do you like it? Any other advice or feedback to share?I agree, and prefer more smooth modulation rather than on/off switch. Not sure why anybody would want the on/off switch other than a misconception... (see full post)-
Yep, and they really fight rear locking. ABS can only do so much, especially since they all run the torsen, which screws you for braking. There just isn't enough diff lock to keep things happy.In general, any sort of front-engine GT-ish car...

That chart is what I used when I selected the OEM PP1 pads for rear (DS2500) and DSUno (Red) for front.

Pagid, but yes. Honestly, I think I'd run the stock rear until fade is a genuine issue. The rear is probably bigger than they need to be. The rear pad you just want be low-friction/low-bite/flat mu. The front can get a little more spicy. You...

Like.So to go back a year or two, when the whole darkhorse race series was being created a lot of us told them to go with race grade brakes, a better cooling system andv18inch wheels, of course all that was ignored and it caused so many problems that... -
bnight replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.Only because the factory "street" ABS is dog sh*t. The S650 and the new Dark Horse SC have much better and modern ABS. It took me a while to figure out what was going on with the ABS thanks to Terry from Vorshlag to actually posting it in a way... (see full post)
