How to Install the Steeda Weight-Reduction Pack - Mustang Diet (Muscle Mustang)

Hello All:

I just wanted to pass along this article for your viewing pleasure:

This kit will shed approximately 36 to 40 pounds of weight and improve 1/4 mile performance by around 3 tenths of a second and slightly improve road course performance as well through increased corner exit grip and acceleration.

Based in Pompano Beach, Florida, Steeda Autosports offers a way for us Mustang maniacs to smartly shed weight and increase performance. After spending countless hours developing it, Steeda's American-made weight-reduction pack for manual-trans 5.0 cars (PN 555-3960, MSRP $1,179.95) includes billet-aluminum lower rear control arms, a tubular-steel front radiator support, and an aluminum driveshaft conversion kit. The latter takes a lot of the rotating mass out of the driveline, offering the biggest gains in mechanical efficiency as well.

Say what?

Ok... I know Steeda has a good reputation and you guys offer many good upgrades but we're not idiots.

I've installed most of Steeda's suspension parts on my '12. They do what they say. After the LCA's and sway bars I noticed a .2 second drop in my 1/4 mile times. My sixty foot dropped from 2.5 to 2.00 on average and my MPH went up 2.0 mph on average. Fully documented on this forum and I do plan on adding the DS and rad support for further gains this year. For video proof check out my runs.

The first one was against a 4.6L V8 and we were basically side by the entire run.
