Thanks T-Ray!....I am pretty well known with the 370 guys and did come up with come innovative stuff for that car....They are not happy over my departure..
I am also pretty well known worldwide with the Audi TT guys (my specialty)...Probably over 60,000 posts going now with that group. The parts I design, make and sell are primarily for that car with stuff in 38 countries around the world now!. Maybe I'll get inspired with the GT! Stay tuned. The gears are always turning...-)

What is the difference in ride quality between the stock Brembo springs and the FRPP ones? I'm hoping to hear "softer, but still tight".

Traitor!! Just kidding, I was thinking about it too, but the Mustang was just lacking in a few key areas for me to commit. Hoepfully when the refresh comes Ford will address those issues. I love my Z, but I have had 5 Fords too.
Congrats!
Congrats!

Modshack,
You got rid of the 370z LOL :-) I still have mine, but have been thinking about switching to the 5.0, I've owned 4 other Mustangs, so I have always been into them. I was seriously considering going with the Stillen supercharger for the Z, but there are a few things that I like about the Mustang that's keeping me from doing it.
Like a back seat, V8, torque, driver visibility, comfortable seats, ground clearance, did I mention a V8 :-)
Well, good to see you on here, you may see pics of a new Stang soon.

I'm not a fan of radical drops. When you start changing roll centers and reducing suspension travel much bad stuff can happen in the quest for "the look". I'm more about function so the 1" fit the bill well. The ride is better actually as the FRPP's are progressive. The initial spring rate is softer than the stock Brembo springs but increases as the suspension compresses. Ride, Handling and looks are all improved.

I have the identical car and was thinking of doing the same with the stripes. Going to live with it a little while and perhaps do it over the winter. Waiting for deliver on the CS front end which will be my first mod.

I've got a 3M color chart and it looks like #120 Satin Aluminum is a pretty close match!
