Thanks man. Always nice meeting a fellow cyclist. Not sure if you've already made your decision regarding the suspension upgrade but after over a year of diving the ST's, I still love them. I got the ride height just where I want it and the ride is still great. I'm sure the Swift Springs and...
Welcome!
The ST X coilovers are great. I've only put about 350 miles on them but so far I love them. Stiffer than stock but still very livable and DD friendly. It handles rough roads like a champ and is more than enough for some spirited driving up in the hills. Pair them up with an upgraded...

Suspension Setup:
ST X Coilovers set to about 34cm from center of wheel to the start of the fender on all sides (about a finger and a half gap)

Konig Rennform 18x8 ET45 wheels, 5mm spacers front and back, ST X Coilovers, Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 (225/40/18) tires.
No fender rolling and no rubbing what so ever.
Welcome!
From what I've read, and what was told to me by people who know way more than I, the B8's are a step up from the Koni Yellows. Better built and longer lasting. Also, the Swift Spec R's have the better driving characteristics but they come with a conservative drop at about 1.1-1.2 inch...
That's exactly what i was going for. Stiff but still good for daily use. I'm definitely not hardcore nor do I have the skills do ever be hardcore, lol. Getting a top of the line hardcore race set up would be wasted on me. Thanks again for suggesting these, bro. :thumbsup2:
I'm sure these are a big improvement over the stock stuff. So long as they are a bit stiffer I'm sure I'll love how they feel up in the canyons.
What little I've driven them so far, they feel real good but I'b been driving very nice and easy. Once everything get's settle in, then I'll be able...
Alright! :D
I installed the coilovers over the weekend. It was a fairly easy install and went pretty smooth. Even getting the stock struts out of the knuckle wasn't too bad using the quarter trick and the spare tire jack trick. After that, everything went smooth. I got the fronts dialed in more...
Damn that's one good looking Roush! :icon12:
These Mustangs just look so sexy and sound awesome. I bet it will handle like a go-cart with your new setup.
Quick update!
I finally got it the right ST X coilovers for the MS3! I can't wait to install these things. Perhaps this upcoming Memorial...
I haven't used RPM yet. I usually get my stuff from Edge Autosport, they've always been great. This time around though, I made a hasty decision and went with a vendor I've never used before because I was told that they had one set of they coilovers left but it turned out to be the wrong kind...
I hope you guys do end up liking them too. I'm sure the ST Coilover are good as well. I'm more worried about the vendor I bought the coilovers from more than anything. I have a feeling there's going to be more issues before this is all set and done.
Yeah, for sure. I've spoke to the vendor and they're going to straighten things out. I don't know though, I have my doubts with this company.
I probably should of just gone with the Ground Control Coilovers from @kennyfish lol.
Well, I received the ST Coilovers today but unfortunately they are the wrong part number.
The part number for the MS3 is 13275019. They sent me 13275018 which is for the normal MZ3.
I'm pretty sure the MS3 coilovers have higher spring rate on the front springs due to the extra weight the MS3...
I agree with this. I'm sure most of the people on Instagram with the hole in the front bumper are just doing it for looks. As for any benefit from the added airflow would be negligible if any at all.
I've seen the Speeds on Instagram with the intake hole/vent thing on the front bumper leading to the Intake. I don't really like the look of it that much but I am a bit curious to know if there was actually any benefit to having the vent with no air-box to support it.
You would think that...
Good work, man. Looks great! I wish I could make my own CBE.
As for the exhaust tip, definitely a 4-4.5 inch Tip for sure. I would do an angle cut as well. I really like the look of angle cut exhaust tips. I would also keep it simple with a brushed finish but polished finish is cool too. Not a...
