Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.So this S550 quirk appears to have been addressed, at least on the S650 Dark Horse with handling package. (see full post)
Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.The stock pads should be pretty good then. When mine go ill try the glocs and see what happens (see full post)
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...-

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.I wish I had saved the link, but I read somewhere that the Dark Horse with handling package was able to decelerate at 1.4G without the ABS overriding. This (and the tires Ford chose) is why it had the shortest stopping distance of any... (see full post)

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...
