Question '11 5.0 w/ Brembo front suspension pic request

I know, I know, it's a bit specific, but I've been trying to see what the front suspension of the 5.0 with brembos looks like, and I haven't found any good pictures of it (Stinger1982's brake duct thread was helpful, but the pictures were really fuzzy and I couldn't really make out much). So if anybody has pictures they've already taken of the front suspension, could they upload them here for me? Thank you! I appreciate it!

The front suspension is just the same as any '05-'11 mustang. There is nothing special about the setup of the cars with Brembo brakes.

Not the suspension, but you can get an idea for the wheel gap. Hope this helps.

Cool. I'm just trying to get a feel for how the front suspension is set up on mustangs, since my only other real example to go by is the SHO... and that's uh... set up a wee bit differently. And I'm in Baghdad, so there is a definite dearth of Ford dealerships to go look at.

The front supension is a coil over strut setup with an L shaped lower control arm. Check out the mustang history link at the top of the page. Go to the 2005-2009 section then 2005 and supension there are several pictures of both the front and rear supension setups.

I'll put up what I've got from my '07 GT.



Can't tell much.

Not sure if it really means anything, but the lower control arms on Brembo cars are silver where the arms on GT's with the other wheel/tire combo's are black.
