It was a thrash for the boys at BMR and Mister Ron Sutton..... but the "new" Mustang is here at Thunderhill....

Motor was redone at Borello... makes almost the same identical power... Improved Oil pressures! But more importantly -- for whatever reason - it SOUNDS better.

Some minor upgrades and Rons secret set up sauce. I'm learning this is MORE THAN just buying brand name parts and throwing them on... WAY MORE. The parts aren't squat without the right things being done with them. I don't know what needs to be done with them - That's why I hire Ron Sutton.

stance is perfect Greg.

Gorgeous work....Looking forward to hearing how she performs.

I like it, I think the car looks great. :thumbsup:

Would you able explain some about the ends of the leaf springs? Ive never seen the ends look like that before.

It looks like he is running composite monoleafs. Unlike a steel spring which has a wrap around the bushing (basically a loop on the end of the spring) the composite spring has a bolt on bushing housing. :cheers:

I see your Accusump is in the rear of the car. I was thinking to place mine near the engine to reduce the length of hose needed. Did you speak to anyone about where to place it before you install the tank in your car? If so do you have any feedback?

Greg,

I doubt Ron and his guys would have missed this, but I had to trim a bunch off of my outer shock outer tower braces / factory bump stop mounts for tire clearance when I went to that much backspace (I know a lot of mustang guys that just remove them when they go to coil overs). Depending on your camber gain and travel, it looks like the tire could get into it at full bump.

The car looks great by the way. I really like those wheels.

This is how mine turned out:

They still rubbed during autoX runs even after I took a cut on them.

So I cut more and braced it back up with 5/16 rod.
