Shock setting #5 on the Boss

I have a track event coming up, so I was going to set my shocks to #5 at home before the 3 hour drive. It's hard for me to change the setting at the track with my aging eyes, so I was wondering how does the ride differ on the street with the track setting....is it tolerable?

As long as they're not in my trunk, I'm ok.

I dunno, but you might enlist the help of a nearby track rat to make the adjustment for you. It's only about 30 seconds worth of work.

A head mounted flashlight, a flat screwdriver, and about 20 seconds a shock is all it takes.

Easy for you to say. For those of us that need reading glasses seeing the adjuster is going to be a challenge.

I agree with 06GT

You might find they would be honored to make an adjustment to such an awesome car....

It's not bad. I forgot to change mine back last weekend and drove about a week on setting 5 and our roads would put the USSR to shame. I hear ya those numbers are a little small for the 40+ crowd.

Seeing your LS that appears to be driving through the alfalfa in your avatar is classic! A little more unique than most track scenes.

You old farts are crackin me up in here. You'd think Ford would have recognized their intended market for this car...and made the numbers bigger.

Maybe they're giving a magnifying glass with the owners pack that's coming this summer

I had a hard time seeing them too but if you just "feel" for the clicks and just go three clockwise you're good. I stuck my head in there to set them to 5 but when I went back to 2 I just felt the clicks.
