Ola'. 1st post. Just registered here as after looking around for a while this seems to be a fairly busy place for the 05-10 cars. Been on another forum for about 6 years but I'm not real active there and the 05-10 forum is pretty dead overall.
A little history. I bought my 07' in 2010 after 15 years of imports (Honda, BMW, RX7's) but had an 87' T-Bird Turbo Coupe (Couldn't find an SVO I could afford at the time) and a 94' Cobra (Bought New) prior to losing my way. In 2015, due to a laundry list of issues that had come to a head on the 07', I bought a 2015 EB as a daily driver. I still enjoyed the 07' but just didn't have the cash on hand/free time at the time to get things back to daily driver status.
So with that said now is the time to get the needed repairs and some desired mods done.
Parts:
Parts list so far is;
Ford Performance 3.55:1 ring and pinion. (stock ratio. works for my needs)
Ford Performance ring and pinion install kit + all bearings and seals.
Ford Performance Carbon Traction Lok clutch rebuild kit.
Ford Performance 07' GT500 front lower control arms.
Ford Performance 07' GT500 Strut Bearings.
BMR Upper Control Arm (Heim Joint) and Bracket for 11-14 S197. Improved geometry compared to 05-10 setup.
BMR Lower Control Arm relocation brackets.
BMR Lower Control Arms. (poly/poly)
Prothane Upper Control arm rear axle bushing.
Still thinking about springs just haven't decided on which ones. Since the rear axle is off the car and I'm replacing strut bearings might as well. Would like to do struts/shocks (Koni Yellows) too but the budget for them isn't there at the moment after everything else.
Didn't read up on how many posts required to post a picture so if the one I posted doesn't show up I apologize. Was kind of a test.
As I get time I'll be updating this thread until I've caught up with the work completed then as the work gets completed.
Greg.
