http://www.s197forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94159&page=3 Scroll down. You can see what I did on my power/heated/adjustable lumbar Shelby Recaro swap.

Oh yeah, and results... My stock Coyote managed 135 mph. My buddy's Shelby did 158. There was a ZR1 there with 1000 or so horsepower running 175. Bunch of cars in the 150s in general. Here's a vid of me vs a 517 rwhp supercharged M3. I had her the whole dang time, until right at the end...

Attended No Fly Zone Arizona over the weekend - a half-mile top speed run event at an airport just outside of town. This was the most fun I've had at a car event in quite a while. You get to go flat-out for a full half-mile on the airstrip, then you have another half-mile to stop. My buddy Jamie...

Do you buy longer wheel studs to accomodate for the spacers?

I have a couple sets of stencils leftover from painting my brakes. I have them for both 4-piston ones, and the larger 6-piston ones. I can sell 'em to you if you like. They're not doing me any good and I don't have any more brakes to paint right now. Paul.

The 15" Shelby brakes have tiny dust shields that cover the tie rod and protect it from heat. Some people don't install them. I did. See picture below.

Pffft. Forget the 18s, get 20s!! Plenty of clearance!

If it's just your daily driver, and ride comfort is a concern, I'd just stick with the stockers.

Yes, I always leave the TC on. The pads were dragging. It was completely obvious. You could hear them dragging when I would drive through my parking garage at work. Look at the uneven wear on the rotors too. Dealer didn't care, told me to pound sand. I bought Shelby brakes anyway, so I just...

Took advantage of our 80 degree day here in Phoenix (eat your hearts out suckers) to finish painting the 4-piston Brembos I took off in favor of the 6-piston ones. After eight coats of clear, they're drying in the garage right now. :) I think tomorrow I may install my new billet pedals. Paul.

Hah, yeah that's what I thought too. The rear brakes were making a ton of noise, and the rotors were getting eaten. I took it into the dealership, told them that this wear is not even close to normal, and asked them to replace my brakes under warranty. They told me to pound sand. It was pure...

I swapped in Duralast rear pads after my rear brakes ate a set of rotors at 16,000 miles. (which the dealer said was normal BTW... WTF??) The duralast pads are quiet and produce very little dust. Much nicer than what Ford gives you. Plus, they have a lifetime warranty so when they wear out...

I just signed up for a 1/2 mile drag race event at a local airport in a few weeks. :) My buddy signed up in his 700 hp Shelby too.

My custom power/heated leather Recaros were 62.2 pounds. The manual seat tracks would be a few pounds lighter than that. Recaros are physically larger and heavier than stock seats. The stock premium/power/401A seats that I took out were 57.8 pounds each. Paul.

I loved some of the older Saleens. Sucks anytime a notable aftermarket company fails. The S-351 is one of my all-time favorite cars.

Ultra, you gotta lose those caliper covers man. Those are terrible on an otherwise super shiny and nice car.

I have Steeda Sports with Koni Str.T shocks/struts. It rides incredibly well on the street (it's my daily driver) and only lowered the car 1" front and 1.25" rear. It's by far the nicest-riding lowering spring + shock/strut setup I've ever had in any of my many mustangs. Highly recommend it. It...

Meh. I installed the '13 Shelby stuff on my '11 GT using the complete kit from 5.0 Resto. I don't think it's a big deal to pop the diff to do a factory-type install. I don't mind using adapters when necessary, but with an OEM option available, I'd always go OEM. An army of engineers put it...

I put 8 fresh quarts of Mobil 1 and a Wix filter on, scrubbed all the dead bugs off the front of the car from my trip to Vegas, and took it to the carwash. All clean, shiny and fresh again. Paul.

I have those! They work great!

Steve, I don't think those numbers are accurate for the Shelby stuff. In the post below, I weighed my '13 Shelby brakes on my scientific bathroom scale. The six piston Brembos are quite a bit heavier than that. http://www.s197forum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1796942&postcount=43 Nonetheless for...

Oh, and don't use that VHT caliper paint for the stencils... It doesn't work for shit.

I just bought it at a local automotive paint store. If you look back in this thread, you can see the process I used and my materials. It wasn't cheap - my materials cost me over $200 if I remember right. I still have I think 1.5 cans of Sunburst Gold and almost two whole cans of Race Red...

I'll be paying off my '11 GT and my girlfriend's '13 Hyundai Elantra in March when I get my bonus. Can't wait! Paul.

Thank you! Yes, I've decided to sell my stockers. I've kept all my factory parts to this point, but when I sell the car, I'll just sell the brakes with it. The cost differential isn't enough to make swapping back worth it. I can't decide if I'm gonna paint up my old brakes all nice and sell...
