The Brembo cars have the GT500 lowers. I know the rubber is stiffer, but are they any beefier?

They look identical except they're silver versus black. I think the difference is all in the bushing (which is still way too soft).

Ugh! Not sure what to do now. Was going to buy the Steeda LCA's from CJ pony parts but in the (not so) fine print it says not for cars with over 500hp. I am not at that now, But I was thinking about it. But that isn't going to be anytime soon. So do I spends more now and not buy the exhaust I was planning on? Or just buy then one that is on sale and buy it again when/if I supercharge?
I know what I'll to I'll think about it so long that it wont be on sale and regret not doing it when I had the chance. Just like the 100 times before.

I would contact Steeda then about the 500 HP to get their recommendations.

I see you're from Castle Rock. Love the area, we have family in Sedalia. Hope to get out there next summer.

I did. The recommendation is to buy the more expensive one.

When you take into account the total cost of ownership, this is actually a great price given our product's reliability & our outstanding customer service!

You will be very happy with the Steeda brand!

Best Regards,

TJ

Nice place, saw your site. Will definitely stop by

I dont know a lot about forced induction but it looks like you have the V6, are you planning on cranking up the boost? I though the 'prochargers' took you up to about 430 to 460-ish, and that was to the wheel, <500. Sounds like you have big plans for your car.

Maybe some of the other guys will chime in that are more knowledgeable in that arena.

Thanks! We work really hard to make it a nice place.


I own a 2014 GT with the track package. I could have owned a v6 a lot sooner but I saved my pennies... Ok, My wife saved her pennies. She bought it for me.


I do have big plans. I just don't have the big bank account to keep up with me.

Merry Christmas everyone! Sorry I haven't been able to update y'all but hopefully I will get pictures up soon. I might just end up paying someone to put them on for me or it may be spring before I can get to them.
I don't think I can wait that long.
