jpc42 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 i've few weeks ago order the tank exchanger 3X capacity at revanracing, at after he email me because as he don't use USPS he was asking about 150 or 200$ for shipping only that, so we cancel the order, very good communication with him!! Now i'm tempted for something else... JLT brake colling kit with clear bezels and TPS SS brakes lines with RBF600, and a 3X capacity heat exchanger tank (worry there is not the tank at JLTPERFORMANCE)... so I'm waiting a shipping cost request from lethalperformance (probably 80$ with USPS international but wish 50$) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboGT Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Jerome, Glad to see you are enjoying the car! You are a patient man in dealing with the frustration and the costs of overseas shipping. If you are still looking for SS brake lines I recommend the ones from Goodridge - I think they are manufactured in UK so you may find these in Europe easier. The FRPP brake cooling kit may be your best bet among available choices & you may be able to find it from a European distributor as well. Have fun!

About a suspension package...i'm still with the oem, and what about this one??? Ford Racing Shelby GT500 Handling Kit M-18000-G please i need your advice and reviews (feedback) another package is better in similar price? like to have steeda spring as they lower the rear a little more from the front, but with shocks and sturt to choose... so i don't know what to look for... cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of guys who have went with the Eibach proline and are happy with them, but I'm not familiar with the Steeda's. As far as shocks....just about everybody is happy with the Tokico D specs.

msb64 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Hi Jerome I can't help you with the shocks and strut choice, but do have a suggestion for you. If you lower your car, you should be picking up something like this as well, to correct the lca geometry: http://www.bmrsuspension.com/?page=products&productid=170 The BMR units are bolt in units, that can also be welded in if desired, and are available from may resellers. I notice Lethal carries a set, but they do not list whether they are bolt-in or not, you can email them and confirm that though. http://www.lethalperformance.com/2013-2014-shelby-5-8-l-gt500/2013-shelby-gt500-suspension-1/2013-shelby-gt500-control-arms-1/2013-shelby-gt500-lower-control-arms-1/whiteline-performance/whiteline-performance-2005-mustang-lower-control-arm-relocation-brackets.html If you car is mostly a street car, the bolt-ins are probably the best choice for you. The adjustable panhard bar you are considering is a nice touch even on a stock vehicle, as it allows you to perfectly center the rear end. If you lower the back end at all, you will definitely have to adjust the panhard again to re-center the rear end. Just noticed that Shelby carries a bolt-in style as well: http://www.shelbystore.com/product-p/z25-s5ma-3000-a.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc42 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 when i'll lower the car, i want only a small lowering (around 1"2 1"3 front and 1"4 1"5 rear)...so may be not necessary to use LCA relocation braket... but I'd think about (probably if i go with it's will be BMR)... For the moment i have absolutly no wheel hop. i didn't understand the différence with bolt in or not ??? And for the lowering, i'm not sure it's a good idéa using my stock damper with only buying new lower springs... and i don't know if it's possible to use the OEM LCA with the relocation bracket or if i need change also the LCA ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb64 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Even at stock height, the relocation brackets can make a difference, and they definitely will if you lower the car at all. It is more of a drag strip or race track modification though, if you drive only on the street you can try running without them. The bolt-in ones can be installed by just bolting them on, and then you can still remove them later on if you want. If you get a set welded on, it is more of a permanent install and will be much harder to remove later on. You can still use your oem LCAs if you want, but the aftermarket ones offer better strength, looks and performance with their improved materials, designs and polyurethane bushings (and/or mechanical joints). Usually LCAs are one of the first things to change on a car like yours, launch it hard on a good traction surface and you will see why. I am currently running a set of Steeda LCAs and they do look and work well, but I wish they had grease fittings installed on them: http://www.steeda.com/store/steeda-mustang-billet-lower-control-arms.html The LCAs that Shelby offers look as good as they get, and they also have the grease fittings on them. http://www.shelbystore.com/product-p/z-aca004.htm If you want a heavy duty high HP & Torque no-frills performance LCA, you will want something like these: http://vmptuning.com/07-12-gt500-suspension/23942/ Another option is to upgrade the rubber bushings in your oem LCAs to poly ones, but that it is a bit of work and they will not look nowhere near as sharp as some of the aftermarket offerings. The oem ones are a stamped steel piece, and will not have the torsional strength of an I-beam or tubular designed LCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc42 Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 thnaks for your information... bob's billet control arm are nice too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb64 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 I agree, the Bobs LCAs are nice units, and are some of the beefier billet ones I have seen so far. I notice they also have the grease nipples on each end too, and the price on them is decent. There are so many good parts available for most popular vehicles, it makes it hard to decide which one to go with. It is kind of a nice problem to have though.
