Do you guys have thoughts about that, except very expensive: https://www.fordgt500.com/threads/new-underbody-strakes-aero-from-steeda-gt500-s550-compatible.208233/

Sorry, I'm German, no easy solutions allowed hahahaha..... look at Vanos from BMW :)

Sorry I'm German, I try my best in English ;) If your budget allows to buy a fully adjustable coil-over, this would be the best way to build a cornering car. I have combined compression/rebound adjustment and wish to have it independent.

I haven't found the dimension of the GT350 part. The needed size is roughly 80x80 cm. The GT350 part is bolted to the bumper on one side and to a bracket to the underbody between the sway bar and the differential. On our cars we must attach a bracket to the spare tire panel. I was not able to...

Hello The GT350 has a undertray plate from the axle to the bumper and covers the carbon canister backpack. I think it would be a nice aerodynamic optimization for the S197, too. Cheers GT350 with aftermarket strakes:

These color codes on the OEM springs address the car weight and the front/rear weight distribution with the different variants, with coil overs you can do it left/right too.

Exactly, so far very worth the work. An other mod I wished I did much earlier, together with the noise insulation and the aerodynamic stuff.

Advantage of a coil over is that you can adjust the height according to the weight distribution. In general, I would start with new sway bars first.

BTW, am I crazy, or does the tires brake loose much sooner now?

I installed the MGW shifter which I really like, but I don't have a comparison with other brands. My 07 doesn't have an assist spring, so cannot say anything.

Hi from Germany, shifting problems 2->3 under hard acceleration is often a shifter problem, have you checked all the shifter bushings and connection rods? Is it a Capri behind?

Just changed the outer tie rods and measured the tire distance on the lift before I started to take the tires off (steering wheel horizontal with water level, paint dot at the wheel tread to remember the measuring point), after work done I adjusted the distance to the same value again.

So, finally, first impression. The drone at 67 is gone, no noise so far, but must test it with higher speed also. I got some NHV in my seat with medium load acceleration from low rpm, it's like some growl so not annoying (not yet). I guess I can improve it further by changing the aluminum...

I really don't want the air of the 1990th back, but it's clean enough now. All this new regulations is only to torture you and make driving more and more expensive to steal your car. Sooo fed up with the Government.....

Painted my rear axle, 3 coats with a brush, so not 100% of it. The result doesn't make such a difference as I expected for the 3 days of work.
