Got a wild hair this week and ordered a buncha goodies for the Mustang. Coming this/next week:

GT500 Strut Mounts
Koni Yellow Adjustable Struts and Shocks
Stallion Adjustable Panhard Bar
Brembo Takeoff Calipers/Rotors/Pads from a '13
Infinity 5x7's for the doors
Ignition Flip Key off of Ebay

I got the panhard put on tonight and will probably do the shocks/struts/brakes next weekend.

Got the Koni's and strut mounts in the mail Friday. Saturday the Infinity's came in. I got them installed today. What a difference! I can't believe how light and crappy the stock 5x7's are. I recommend this to ANYONE with ears! Probably won't do the struts until maybe next weekend.

Nice. Been thinking about doing the same thing.

I bought Infinity's off of Amazon. They're 6832cf's. I got them plus the wiring adapters that allow you to plug into the factory connector for around $75 TOTAL. I thought that was a pretty good deal and they sound great!

Installed the Koni's and GT500 mounts last night. What's everyone setting these at for DD duty? I went full firm, then back one full rotation and it was still a go-kart ride to work this morning! LOL! I'm gonna try full loose on the way home and see what that feels like in contrast. I'm sure the answer will be somewhere in the middle. Ironically, "somewhere in the middle" is where I thought I set them last night! :O

I've got Tokicos. They are set by adjusting the screw at the top, seven turns from full hard to full soft.

I set mine to full firm, then back them out five turns on the front and four turns on the rear.

Every car will be set a little different, since vehicle weight, spring rate, wheel weight, and personal preference are all unique. Keep playing with them, you'll get em right. I would think one turn out of full firm is a road course setting.

I set them to FULL soft at lunch today and the car still feels stiffer than stock! LOL! I'm thinking 1/2 a turn from SOFT may be the ticket...I'll keep messing with them.

You'll get it figured out and I'm sure it will ride great!

Got the Brembos in today. Need to figure out what I'm gonna do to them cosmetically because NOW's the time to do it!

I'm in the same boat. Mine are in my garage till I figure out what color I want

Ordered a couple more items today. Redline hood struts and some Trufiber carbon fiber coil covers. I was considering having some hydro dipped, but figured I'd just go ahead and get the real deal. These should look sweet with the TVS and CF JLT that I'm planning on installing down the road.

Nice! I could have used those struts last night at the track. lol.

[Doug1227]

Hood struts at the track? Why?
