    Factory 2012 Mustang GT Brembo Package Wheels

    Exactly my point:thud: There is nothing unethical about the laws of supply and demand. The wheels are relatively rare considering they were only a few thousand brembo cars sold and only a small fraction of those ppl sell them, where as you can get the black track pack wheels from pretty much...

    Stop putting in in N down hills, that actually requires fuel where as leaving it in gear will not use any fuel at all oh yeah, and get a hybrid, ninny

    Slammed on 18s, post your pics!

    This. A lot of internet folklore on the subject but almost 0 evidence/first hand experience. And only a few of the kits have a true rear coil (fortune auto, griggs, cortex, etc). The GC, KW, BC, HR, etc kits all use an adjustable rear perch in the stock spring location

    Factory 2012 Mustang GT Brembo Package Wheels

    I own one as well, its marketed as "dark stainless" by ford, sorry for using the brushed reference. Regardless of what its labeled, doesnt change the fact the are relatively rare in the aftermarket and therefore can demand a higher price than the black versions. Good luck with the sale, I was...

    Factory 2012 Mustang GT Brembo Package Wheels

    Those are "remanufactured" not brand new from any ford dealer/distributer. And yes they are painted, but its simulated "brushed stainless"..its not just your standard silver spray. And I was just trying to help your sale from the lowballers who neglect color when comparing prices to the black...

    Factory 2012 Mustang GT Brembo Package Wheels

    Very different considering the brembo only wheels in the brushed stainless finish are only sold as crash parts and have an MSRP of $840 each...with the best price online in the $525 per wheel range and used/refurbed wheels going for $300+ each

    GC Coilover kit+Konis

    Thanks for the info. I was looking at the GC CC plates too..I guess its the "custom" konis and assembly that puts the complete kit priced $300 more.

    :clap: Guess what, I'm a mechanical engineer too and can tell you are the type of engineer who tries to make simple things sound much more complex than they really are. :roflmao:

    2013 GT suspension plan - please help?

    Unfortunately when it comes to suspension and stiffness/comfort, its really a wide range of what is acceptable and what is not. There are some guys on the other forum who complain about the stock brembo suspension being too stiff, but to me it felt like a big marshmallow.

    GC Coilover kit+Konis

    Just so you dont gather (assume) any more from my posts, I'm no spring chicken when it comes to the track. I have about 25 track days under my belt (a handfull in an evo and the rest on 600CC sport bikes, running in the advanced group when I gave it up), so I will be pushing the car hard when it...

    GC Coilover kit+Konis

    Thank you chim chim and jymontoya, just the real world type of information I was looking for. Also your experience with the cortex kit highlights the usefullness of ride height adjusment beyond just corner balancing. Being able to shift rear/front grip without swaping springs is definately a...

    GC Coilover kit+Konis

    No offense man, bu do you have any personal experience with this design and did you even read that thread? Pretty much everyone in the thread who ran the full coil, said it had been a non-issue and they were just boxing it in as a precaution, not because they had deformed it in the past. The...

    GC Coilover kit+Konis

    I contacted fortune auto already and they said they only make the 510 series and dreadnaughts for the S197, so entry price point is $1500 or so...or $1700 for the mullers, where you can get swift springs with custom rates. But yeah..i guess its the gap between around $1000 out of pocket or $1500+

    GC Coilover kit+Konis

    No desire to run the Megan/BC coils, for the same price id rather stick with the GCs+Coils. The ST kit you posted does not have any dampening adjustment which is why I originally ruled it out vs the GC+koni combo where I can at least adjust rebound THe Steeda kit you posted, that price is...

    GC Coilover kit+Konis

    I wont lie, part of the height adjustment want is for cosmetics, which is the main reason im entertaining it. Most of the full "coilover" kits for the S197 are also just an adjustable perch in the rear. The other option is the fortune auto kit, which is a full coilover in the rear.

    GC Coilover kit+Konis

    Just curious if anyone pieced together this combo. GC Kit-$425 Koni Yellow-$600 So for about a $1000 you get ride height adjustment and rebound adjustments with the ever popular koni yellows. Otherwise you can do the full GC coil kit which adds the upper caster plates ($1600) or the kw...

    are '12 and '13 suspensions the same? mine don't seem to be...

    confirmed. Dude is trying to talk his way out of a hole Assuming two springs are equal in length, if one is stiffer, it will compress less resulting in taller ride height. In this case, spring stiffness alone will dictate ride height (or "delegate" it, whatever that means). But without...

    Setting up adjustable panhard with wheels that stick out from fender

    Use the spacer as mentioned. IE tape something flat to the fender you push your verticle reference further out. Hang your plumb bob from there.

    2013 GT Clutch Issues

    Had the same thing happen to my 2012 last night, did a quick WOT rip, shifted, and the pedal stuck to the floor and the brakes got mushy. Had to pump the clutch 10-15 times for it to return to its original position on its own

    Boss Facia/Splitter & Brake Ducts Installed

    Yeah I was talking about the $700 boss splitter. On our big heavy cars, more braking capacity is never a bad thing. If you need to hack stuff up anyway, Ill just use the generic DIY kits out there.
