Hey everyone! Thought I’d post a review that could help people going forward for a more street friendly setup on their S650 along with some pictures of how the car currently sits. First off I have a base 300A 2024 GT. Only options are the 10speed, and NPP.
Suspension Set Up:
-Ford Performance...
I recently installed the ford performance front and rear sway bars. Was a lucky find on marketplace so got them for half off brand new since the guy was trying to get rid of them. But I have it on a coupe and I can say it makes a huge difference in body roll. I have it on the softest setting on...
I have a thread of them from a while ago. Maybe a year and a half ago or longer. Probably could find it on my threads. I’ve had both track and street springs from ford.
I bought my 24 GT a little over 2 years ago and has just slightly over 16K miles. Mine is a base GT, only options are the 10Spd, and nite pony, and of course the color. Whenever I was close to trading in to upgrade I was quoted 37-38K and MSRP for my car was around 45K or so. Which isn’t too...
Thanks for your feedback! I think I will go for the Ford street recommendations, and now that I have an idea on how negative camber affects things, etc if I start tracking my car more often then I will start to get more into adjusting things from there. For now I wanted some adjustability at...
In your opinion what do you think would be the best alignment specs to go for? I know I don’t need anything crazy but I’m willing to sacrifice one thing if it meant better handling, etc., earlier in the thread I was told -2 all around and .24 for toe in the rear. Unless I should go for one of...
I pretty much installed them the way they came and when I removed the 3 Allen screws holding it I tried to keep it from moving too much and then planned to have my alignment done after. Didn’t mess with it after I put them in
Okay that’s what I had read during my research phase before I took it to the dealer. Luckily they were able to refund me the full amount without much hassle.
Ah okay that’s what I thought but I could have sworn I read something else online on the 6G or 7G forums throughout the weeks of doing my research lol but I’m okay with more performance even if it means less tire life. Car gets driven weekends or in nice weather so I can make them last.
Now this brings me to my next question. What specs should I go for when I take it to a dedicated alignment shop that knows how to work on modified cars. As mentioned it will be a street car, will be driven spiritedly, and on back roads, and with the ocasional track day once a year? Would the...
Thank you! I plan on having some negative camber just because I’ve read that it helps with tire wear as long as toe is all good if I’m not mistaken. Most likely will go with what some of the others mentioned when I take it to the next shop to get it aligned they told me I can bring my own specs...
Thanks everyone! I know they didn’t touch camber especially since they couldn’t give me an answer as to how they tried to adjust it. They “tried” but all they did was bang it up trying to pry it or something. I knew they didn’t even loosen the bolts. Luckily there’s two shops that could get me...
Also this is my alignment sheet. What specs should I be aiming for a street car that will be driven spiritedly and could see a track or two every once in a while for fun, but most likely street with some back roads? Also something that won’t eat my tires either if that’s possible to achieve or not.
Hoping someone may know the answer to this but I have a 24 GT non magneride, and recently installed Steeda non adjustable shocks/struts and added the Ford Performance camber plates along with Ford Performance street springs that I’ve had for over a year now. But before I installed and put...
I purchased the non HP DH spoiler and they came with the rubber stops. Not all Dark Horses have them so not sure it’s required. I had read or heard somewhere that it’s so the spoiler doesn’t touch when you close the trunk but I removed mine because in the Texas sun it baked into the paint and I...
