My 2011 Mustang GT is named "Blue Thunder"...

Thanks for your feedback, CoreGT!!!

Thanks for the knowledge, guys!!!

For faster 1/4 Mile times, would you rather have an increase of 25HP or 25lb/ft torque? Basically, the Roush Phase 1 is 575HP/505 lb-ft torque and the Vortech is 605HP/473 lb-ft torque... the Roush has about 25 less HP and 25lb-ft more torque, but the Vortech has about 25 more HP, but...

Yes...BC Racing...

Thanks, Whiskey11!!! I'm assuming stiffer springs (even w/ properly valved coilovers) will also contribute to a harsher ride as the spring rate goes up?

Please educate me as I am still learning. I am running 7K front (392lb/in) / 5K rear (280lb/in). What is the difference in performance and ride quality if I ran stiffer springs up front...just an example... say 8K (448lb/in) vs. adjusting my front coilovers to a stiffer setting? Thanks.

For example, a 800F/250R springs setup...doesn't the rear ride wobbly if used as a daily driver?

This was how my car was setup in the beginning...stiff front, rear noodle...It felt soo odd and unbalanced for daily driving (rear too wobbly), and when I took the corners, it felt like the frontend drifted around the turns (definitely required some throttle)...even though the car remained...

Great pic...thanks for sharing!!!

That was my setup before I added the Whiteline Rear Swaybar and Watts link with 255/45/18 Continental ExtremeContact DWs...but upgrading rear sway bar did balance out the car...I'll have to try the 3rd hole setting out :)

Example of setup: Pirelli P-Nero Zero 235/50/18 tires Coilover spring rates 392lbs/in front, 280lbs/in rear Whiteline Front Adjustable Swaybar (set at 2nd hole from softest) Whiteline rear LCA Whiteline rear UCA Whiteline rear relocation brackets Whiteline panhard bar/brace Stock OEM rear bar...

Thanks for the explanation, Lucky_13!!! I guess these guys are running a similar setup to yours...I know they are running KW Variant 3's as well...are the ~330ish front and ~180ish rear rates how they come out of the box?

In stock form, the S197 is known to understeer. This observation has been shared in most, if not all the online/youtube reviews by pros/well-known industry publications alike when they take the car out and test it on the track. I've even experienced this when my Stang was stock. Why do some...
