We have dropped a rating star! I guess people are getting jealous.

Are they even in production yet? 2013 model year probably means some time this summer.

This is as well and good, but we still need pics.

How about investing that into a driving course to maximize your skills instead of messing up the stock suspension geometry?

How about you stop crashing your lovely GTI into things before YOU go messing up your suspension geometry?

Das Volk posted:

I've been told that the progressive-rate springs are what contribute to the car feeling a lot heavier than it is. Certain people will rage til he's blue in the face about it but I agree with you on needing something to fix the wallowy feel and wheel hop. Lighter wheels might help too.

FYI: BAMA was the shop popping '11+ 5.0 engines awhile back.

If you lower the rear, you'll also need an adjustable panhard bar or your axle will shift quite a bit to the left. This puts extra wear on your bushings and stuff.

Is the FRPP tune also limited? My friend has one with the 3.83s and even with the FRPP it handles WOT in first gear without any issues even on the stock 235s. I always chalked it up to having a really awesome TC/rear suspension set up.

kronix posted:

I will agree with 3.55s first gear is stupid I almost never bother going wot until I'm in 2nd and even then it's risky

Isn't one supposed to get an adjustable panhard rod after a certain amount of drop?

frozenphil posted:

You want an adjustable panhard rod with any drop as the factory panhard rod will kick the rear axle out to one side once you start changing ride height from stock.

If you guys could get a 2002 roush 360R with the stage 3 kit for $15k would you do it? it has 33,000 miles.

Just how good is the stage 3 in terms of handling? I am actually not that crazy about the looks of the 360R, the racing stripes attract a bit too much attention, all i care about is the supercharger and total rework of the suspension.

edit: also the guy is accepting offers so im sure i could offer 14k in cash/check right now and he would probably take it

coolskillrex remix posted:

Termis are nice but extremely overpriced. one with 33,000 miles would probably sell for $21-$22k easily, people have stupid boners over them. Their interior is still a New Edge interior which is one of the worst interiors ive ever seen (for reference i own a 99 GT so i have to live with it every day, im not just hating). Why people dont spend the extra money and just get a GT premium ill never understand.

This websites slow as gently caress to checkout. Kind of lovely.

Im guessing shipping isnt free so add $100-$150 for the whole thing..

At that price i would rather have american muscle AMR wheels and ventus V12s

Theyre straight up knock offs of the $300 RTR wheel, its not like the RTR wheel is anything special though material wise, theyre $300 purely because of the name

Theres about one billion pictures of mustangs with rtr wheels on various forums, but i think its the best looking aftermarket wheel out there.

edit: also these are 18" wheels, which i think look weak on the new 5.0s. The cars simply too big for anything smaller than a 19" to look well proportioned. For reference your current brembo wheels are 19" as well

edit: ventus are about $1000 for a set of 4 staggered. whoooops

coolskillrex remix posted:

Not sure what you mean by finding them. Finding local places with 19" tires? or tires dont come in R19"?

kronix posted:

Can you clear the Brembos with 18's?

coolskillrex remix posted:

Where did you hear this? I hope its true but i severely doubt it.

coolskillrex remix posted:

Hmm, actually now i recall seeing this then forgot about it entirely. I ordered poo poo from american muscle without it

edit: what the poo poo, someone stole my username on svtperformance that i have NEVER had registered before me.

coolskillrex remix posted:

Im chipping away but holy gently caress this takes forever theres like a billion forums. Youre getting the 19" right.. right?

You guys can use my modularford profile link if you want, but it probably won't do you any good as I regularly bash AM. :/

frozenphil posted:

I kinda led the crusade against them when no one wanted to say what shop was popping Coyote engines with their lovely tune. I have no problem with them as a retail shop and they give back to the community a ton. I'd have no issues shopping for parts through them, but I wouldn't order a tune or an engine from them. In your case, go for it.

At any rate, modularfords doesn't have a real administrator so their site is a nightmare crush of layout and design stupidity right now and I can't find the procedure to get the code.

frozenphil posted:

Alright, PMed him. They've probably forgotten about me as I haven't posted in several months.

frozenphil posted:

I'll need some contact info for you since you don't have PMs.

Comrade Flynn posted:

So I got a call from the shop about my order of http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetails.php?PartID=822&CategoryID=225&ModelID=35 to let me know that my order would be delayed...

...because they are having a sale on that starting Thursday and didn't want to overcharge me. Pretty A+ customer service!

Have you read any reviews of those shocks? They really aren't much more than the Tokico Blues I was looking at getting. I know Koni's stuff is usually topnotch though.

No theyre on the v6 as well
