Like.An even better play would be to swap the full Dark Horse R brake system onto a GT500 and run 18" wheels and tires. Expensive but would save a TON of weight. And weight is the enemy of the 500. Front end weight savings would be on the order of 125...-
bnight replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.there is no DSUNO/DS1.11 rear pads. I run OEM rears (From Ford Dealer) they are essentially DS2500 without Ferodo branding. (see full post)

Does anyone know the part numbers for the Ferodo front and rear pads for the Mustang s550 GT PP1?I found FCP4711W for DS1.11 Front pads. (H for DS2500 and Z for DSUNO).I can't find the correct shape number for the rears. Looking to get...
Sure! They are the SVE R357's from lmr.com. I'm running 19x11's on all 4 corners in the gun metal gray, with a 20mm spacer up front.
21GT500 replied to the thread Who Is Tracking Their S550 GT500? I'm Looking For Someone Fast & Knows The Mods Inside And Out.I'm fortunate enough to live in the same area as Stan so get to hang out with him occasionally at the track - he knows what he's doing on these cars. (see full post)-
21GT500 reacted to Stan Whitney's post in the thread Who Is Tracking Their S550 GT500? I'm Looking For Someone Fast & Knows The Mods Inside And Out with Like.This setup has run on 3 of our local TX cars with good success. It's similar to what Middleton does. Its a good start that calms down the chassis motions, has good grip and is fun and controllable with the power.Steeda dual rate springs...
DarrylS76 replied to the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach?.That sounds like the way ill go but can I get more then 1 inch of drop with ford springs ? Although it sounds like if I only go 1 inch nothing else will be needed? (see full post)-
DarrylS76 replied to the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach?.Eibach is a 2 inch drop in the rear right? Seems like that would be perfect . I cant really justify doing it with only 1 inch (see full post)

DarrylS76 reacted to stevbd's post in the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach? with Like.I’ve used Bilstein sports and Koni yellows. Anecdotally I feel like the Bilsteins are stiffer on compression and a little harsher on the street. But no real data.

DarrylS76 replied to the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach?.Thanks for the recommendation im looking on American muscle now at some of the kits . That way ill have the sway bars too. Sounds like ill need the pan hard bar and control arms as well. Only thing is the ford performance kits springs only... (see full post)

DarrylS76 replied to the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach?.Thanks for the feed back man! That all black is sick on the Boss. I love the wheels on that green one in your pics. I think ill go with shocks and springs instead of cheap coil overs (see full post)

blacksheep-1 replied to the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach?.IMO find one of the Ford Performance kits, install it, and enjoy. Decent coilovers will run north of $5K, the ones on the S197s are Penskes at over $10K. The disadvantage far outweigh the advantages in maintenance alone, plus with a FP suspension... (see full post)

Bill Pemberton replied to the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach?.The SR ( Shanghai Racing ) Performance will give your car the " China syndrome " and hence it will be slower and have " ill handling ."

Bill Pemberton reacted to BackInBlack's post in the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach? with Like.I'm on Koni yellows and Steeda Boss springs. I haven't used Bilsteins yet, but these 2 brands are the most popular non-coilover design shocks on TMO. The impression I get is that Konis tend to be little overdamped and tend to not last all that...
