What's a "Super Bowl"?

    UPDATE: Car is gone but can be found in its current state (unless they demodded any of it) at Leman's in Bloomington.

    Hey all, I've been meaning to join for a while, got my 13 GT two years ago and I've done some minor stuff to it. It's a base GT with Brembos plus Recaros, that's it. I've always been a 3er guy until recently, after my 335 spent more time in the shop than on the road, I decided it was time for something else, so I got this thing one day.

    I know some of the guys on here from CMC but other than that I'm a complete noob around here.


    Suspension/chassis stuffs:
    Steeda Sport front/Competition rear springs
    Koni Sport dampers (Yellows)
    RTR (Whiteline) front and rear sways
    Steeda UCA and HD chassis mount
    UMI adj PHB
    Steeda PHB Brace

    Exhaust stuffs:
    BOSS H
    QTP electric cutouts
    RTR axlebacks

    Transmission stuffs:
    MGW w/ track bushing
    McLeod stainless clutch line and helper spring delete
    Poly reinforced trans mount bushing
    BAS axle reservoir

    Under the hood stuffs:
    JLT CAI
    BOSS oil cooler
    Juggernaut dyno tune, nGauge

    External cosmetic stuff / RICE:
    35% all around (Thank you Jeff at Tint To U!)
    BOSS base wheels powdercoated stealth charcoal
    RTR rear "diffuser"
    Roush/RTR side splitters
    AM black billet upper and lower grilles (no honeycomb behind the lower)
    Fog delete
    Stubby antenna
    Gloss black emblems
    Vertical (e.g. late 60s) GT faux gas cap insert


    I really liked where this car got.

    Here is an exhaust vid (RTR ABs, catted, BOSS H, discs removed):

    AED tunes are great(had several revisions), but sometimes Shaun can be a bit of a bitch. His head has gotten very big, but for good reason. Hes the best. But it can translate to hit or miss customer service. If you can take him on his bad days while hes looking at your logs to fine tune your car, it will pay off in the end. But again, tread lightly. I had his tunes on my last 11 and that car ripped. 117mph trap speeds with a tune only and a tire. Im going to get more tunes from him for my 14. Oh and welcome to the site.

    Thanks, Resident Dickbag. Should be easy enough without any aggressive mods going on. Just the cat delete and slightly improved flow after, but that's it. It would be nice to get rid of the jake brake too. Anyway, hopefully the tune is not a pain, thanks for the heads up. I can't seem to find anyone who wouldn't recommend him, so he must be doing net right.

    Steeda Sports/Comps front/rear and a squeaky panhard bar, those are just the regular BOSS wheels. That's it until I add the UCA and LCA+reloc in a couple weeks or so. Koni yellows will probably be coming but for now I think I'll just blow the stockers, they're not as bad as I thought they'd be and I don't plan on tracking for a while, so yeah....

    Great to hear that the stock Brembo suspension can handle the drop, I was on the fence about putting my Steedas on mine. Welcome!

    Well they're not a match made in heaven, you can definitely tell they aren't completely up to the task. However, the pogoing isn't anywhere near as bad as I expected it to be. I've ridden in other Mustangs with the same springs but with yellows, and with STR.Ts, and either of those setups feel miles better.

    The stock struts and shocks CAN do it, yes, but I wouldn't use it as a long term solution or if I was tracking. I just don't want anyone to try it and say, "well raging said it would be great, but it's actually shit, the guy is a real asshole".

    Too late, I installed the springs and immediately totaled the car. My insurance will be contacting you shortly.

    Just wanted to bump this to say this car should still be intact with the mod list in the OP at Leman's in Bloomington, so if someone is looking for a car with all this stuff done already....

    And I guess we can lock this up...? Can I do that or do I need to PM a mod?
