I did one track day in my non PP S550. Temps were in the high 80s. In the 3rd session I experienced some brake fade. I had upgraded to PP Brembos but was running street pads. My cylinder head temps were over 240 but didn't get quite high enough for limits or limp mode. The S650s do seem to have...

Thanks! The offsets of the wheels allow them to sit more flush with the fender, which was an improvement even before the spring install. The magneride springs only lower 0.8 inches, so it's not a huge difference but it is noticeable. I had Steeda camber plates installed at the same time. Might...

I agree on both counts. I remember thinking the same thing about the SVE SP2 wheels a few years ago, wishing the graphite was lighter.

I strongly considered the American Racing Stampedes. It's a nice option to get the PP wheel style in more appealing sizes and fitment.

Yeah, they're on the heavy side for flow formed. My 19x10 are 26.6 pounds vs. 24.2 for the Steeda Tridents I had on my '19. Still a good bit lighter than 32.5 pounds for narrower PP wheels, though.

It does look lower in front but still looks good. I was concerned that the dual rates would be too stiff for everyday street driving but it sounds like they aren't. Tire width by itself doesn't contribute to ride height, but a wider tire will be taller than a narrower one with the same aspect...

Interesting the dual rate ultimate handling springs lower the S650 1.3 inches in front but not as much for other Mustangs. How much stiffer is the ride with those springs compared to stock?

I did mine at 1,200 miles and switched to full synthetic.

I just signed up to do the road course option on November 2. I decided to wait for cooler temperatures to be wearing a helmet in a car.

I voted red. I think it goes well with a gray car even if you don't have other red accents on the car. A close second is to keep them black.

I recently got new 19x10 wheels all around on my PP car. I went with Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02 in 275/40. I chose that size primarily because the rear is the same size as the stock PP so the speedometer didn't change, and the taller profile fills the wheel well better. However the...

The OP seems aware that a dyno will read lower but is questioning whether the reading in this case (19% lower) is what should be expected.

Shortly after having these springs installed and getting an alignment I drove the car from DFW, TX to Eureka Springs, AR for a Ford event. We hit plenty of twisty roads on the way up and in other drives in the area. I'm very pleased with the springs. Overall, the ride is close to stock. I...

Chrome is a little bright for me. Here's pics of my white S550 with charcoal gray and "titanium" wheels. I like your color scheme. :) Did you add the stripes?

Looks great! I really like the Wimbledon White color and the interior of the 60th Anniversary cars. I wish they had offered a version with the performance package.

Sounds like a great drive. Last year we came up through Colorado on our way to the Sturgis Mustang Rally. We hit million dollar highway, drove along the blue mesa reservoir, went through cottonwood pass (must have driven along the taylor river to get there), and took the peak to peak scenic...

Very nice! I was there last year in my S550.

I hate that. I got a chip in my '26 with only 2k miles on it. I had it repaired but we'll see if it holds.

With my '26 GT, Ford offers something called Ford Connectivity that requires a subscription. Besides navigation, it makes your vehicle a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 10 devices and allows you to use streaming apps without your phone. I didn't subscribe to it.

Before I installed the H pipe I found myself using sport and track mode almost all the time. After the H pipe I alternate between normal and sport mode most of the time. Track mode is for when I'm in the mood to be loudest. It seems pretty loud until I'm around the guys with long tube headers on...
