Mod update and development.

Working with GTWorx/RaceComp on a suspension solution for this platform. Going through the Mustang realm - nada. They are more concerned with low and pretty over rates and function.

Went with KW Suspensions ST kit - http://www.stsuspensions.com/coilovers.php

Exactly the same as KW v1s down to dampening and rates. Just a different housing material. Since this car will not see winter. Not an issue for me. Known great valving. Great construction. Good service. Can't beat that.

Note: I know the rates. Keeping those in my pocket for now.

Also en route is a Whiteline 3-way adjustable rear sway bar. I have the GT500 front and rear bars already. Tuning the rear bar for surfaces.

Took the time to install my EBC BlueStuff NDX pads too.

Have not bedded the pads or really pushed the car suspension. Going to align Tuesday and then I have 2 AX events and a 1500mi loop planned out for this car. More soon.

I run EBCs on both of my other cars. Looking forward to seeing the Blues in action myself.

Fair amount of rake it looks like, how's the on throttle application? Great pics and information as always Smike. Look forward to having you in the area and hitting up some autoX events.

From the seam welds - 7/8in front rake

So far just set camber and took around town. Maths have me at 2-2.5 front camber. Car feels stable. Tomorrow is alignment rake.

Looking forward to hitting some local events. Shoot me a heads up for the next one.
