Got a dyno tune for my 2008 Mustang GT. I had a remote tune done on it after installing DOB supercharger kit. The remote tune wasn't bad, but I had a few issues with the throttle response and engine sputtering during hard cornering when autocrossing.
Nothing against the folks that perform...
I have the stock exhaust with Borla Touring mufflers. I think it has a nice sound without being too loud. I also have the DOB supercharger installed. I like hearing the surcharger whine without the exhaust drowning out everything.
It's not uncommon for the R6 brake pads to squeak as you're slowing down for a red light or stop sign. The noise doesn't bother me, but the car isn't a daily driver. I could see the noise getting annoying if I drove it every day.
You could always try a traditional street pad and upgrade to...
I was able to make the single DIN gauge pod work. I went with the carbon fiber one. It was a little too wide so I used a dremel to trim the the width of the gauge pod. I also used a dremel to trim around the gauge in the dash kit.
The side brackets in the dash kit holds the gauge pod in...
I have been wanting to do a few track days so I used Motul 600. I haven't had any problems with DOT 4. Nothing wrong with sticking with Motorcraft brake fluid.
I haven't been able to find anything that's already put together like what's the picture in the first post. I tried the three gauge pod on top of the dash, but it interferes with my vision when autocrossing. I bought a single DIN gauge pod that should work with minor modifications with the...
The Ford Performance kit I purchased also included the front dust shields. I went ahead and flushed out the brake lines with new brake fluid since I was already installing the four stainless steel brake line kit.
The 4 piston Brembo kit that I purchased came with the calipers, rotors, brake pads and brake lines. Seemed like quality rotors and the brake pads were fine for the street. Under hard braking while autocrossing the G-Loc brake pads were noticeably better than what came with the kit.
Not sure...
The extra weight from the 6 piston calipers shouldn't really affect the handling. Most 19" rims weigh more than the 18" rims and this could have a small impact on handling, but not really enough for you to notice.
The four piston Brembos is a good upgrade and you will notice an improvement over stock. Not every rim clears the 4 piston calipers, so you need to check this.
I'm using the Brembos with the G-Loc R6 brake pads and have noticed a significant improvement. The R6 brake pads do make a little...
Replacing/upgrading the suspension can get complicated. You may want to just go with a suspension package with all the parts already selected to work together. I have heard good things about the Ford Performance handling package. Each change you make affects something else, so you need to...
I would go with an adjustable rear sway bar first and start with the middle setting. You will notice a difference right away. It's my understanding that the shocks should be built/tuned to match the spring rate, so not sure how much difference shocks will make. Should help if they are...
