I am looking into a winter wheel/tire set up--e.g., Steeda Tridents 19x10 all around.
However, I happen to have a set of 275/35R19 winters still in excellent condition. As such, I was toying with the idea of trying to fit them on my DH (with the HP wheels: 19x10.5F / 19x11R). I don't do a lot...
Without ever having limned out my procedure, I find that I follow the process described by @Skye. As for materials, I use Gyeon's Q²R Glass Cleaner and microfiber waffle-weave towels (from various retailers, e.g., The Rag Company).
Not saying my materials or method is in any way superlative to...
BTW, I did call Yvonne and she confirmed that kits are being sent out for 26s in order of sales. I've no idea where I sit in that queue, but I bought my DH 19 Jun.

I had the same concern. However, everything went back into its proper place and form. But, that was one of the reasons I first looked to see if all the markers would simply pop out. When I learned about those torx bolts, I removed as few push pins as possible (for me...some may get away with the...
Shout out to @exm for posting his adventure in this upgrade procedure!
Brief update: new sides went in. Took all of 20 mins once I knew about the 27 torx bolt on the fronts. The screws cannot be reused as the new markers are not designed to accommodate them. I only needed to remove 3 push pins...
Given the conversation generated by the different approaches to the install (apparently based on year and model of the S650), what is your experience with the 26 DH? Are you just popping out the rears w/a pry tool? Did you have to contend with a mounting screw for the front markers?
@exm, found it, thanks.

I may be confusing things, but your original post indicates the fronts have screws. But, here you mentioned it is the rears that have screws. Which is which?
As @MCS stated, I'm in a 26. I have an endoscopic camera which may suit that purpose. But, ugh, not looking forward to that at all. Curious, do you have an idea where the screw is located (upper, lower end, or in the middle)? Ask because I was able to get a finger in and braille'd over what felt...
Will do. And, yeh, not looking forward to tackling those rears, again. I suspect the fronts will pop out as detailed in the Murphy's Law vid. We'll see.
Aside, I would welcome some first-hand input from LMR on their experience with the 26 DH.
@MCS, copy all. I attempted the rears using the "established" method: removing fender liner and that top screw for the bumper. But, for the life of me, I couldn't separate the side of the bumper to get at the top retaining clip. Hence, my interest in what looks like a vastly simpler (perhaps...
My kit arrived the other day. Curious, having watched a few install vids (e.g., from Form Lighting: "youtu.be/NZx20xuLthM?is=IOHcUC-tHLJUwklF"), anyone tried this method on their DH:
Curious, did you measure the drop? Only ask because I'm think the dual rate springs in concert with the Steeda spacer kit might allow me to keep the ride height (or just about) and support the SC.
I've been talking extensively with AJ. Currently, he does not have a conversation kit for the S650 (although he's pretty sure his S550 kit would work... that's just, um , theoretical at the moment).
That was my first thought. I just don't know if the GT 500 spring would fit in the perch correctly, how it might change the ride height, or if it's compatible with magneride--which I doubt.
I've reached out to BMR...just waiting on a response.
The BAGM-48H6-760, factory installed batt in my DH, is 44.9lbs--not an insignificant amount of weight. Relocating that might be a pretty good start. I've never done a relocation, any one kit / process better than any other?
I've owned several SC mustangs as well, factory and modified. Just for comparison, 2012 and 2020 GT 500s, Super Snake, and a base GT that I supercharged--all of which felt well/perfectly balanced re: front weight/behavior.
The one issue I've experienced with my DH HP is what I "feel" (imagine?)...
Perhaps I should not be, but they remind of the shipping spaces that the dealer left in my DH...about 100 miles before I "felt" the front was behaving oddly. After as many mustangs as I've owned, I should have looked before taking possession.
Just trying to keep up with proposed solutions...please mod, add or subtract at will.
