Yeah I didn't care for the Shaker or the HIDs. Another local dealer has a couple black cars and one in Sterling that is 401A and 3.73 only option. They also have a California Special with 3.73 that looks great.

GTR Performance, Rancho Cucamonga, CA. They seem like a small hole-in-the wall, but they're well known in the area and their work has been featured in some of the specialized Mustang magazines like 5.0. I do not take my Mustang anywhere else for upgrade work.

Brembos are great. You get a different steering tune, and as posted in SVT forum. Different spings, and struts. Brembos was my first option. Ron

I thought the one that I test drove that had the Brembo package felt quite a bit different suspension wise.

Well looks like ill have to be doing without the 401A, im talking with a body kit manufacturing company(cant say the name, very confidential) and they need a car soon for prototype fitment of a kit for a SEMA mustang. Ill have the first kit in the world for $500 and losing 3 weeks with my car. But it looks badass!
