So than my guess wasn't entirely out of the ball park considering most steel hoods would be much heavier than a mk3. It helps that it's a smaller hood to begin with. Digressing, if your hood weighs in at 60lbs on the mustang and it's replaced with a cf weighing 10lbs, there's your 50. Apples to oranges I know :p lol

Lol... true that. .. my Stang will be more a show car than race. .. too many hrs in it to mess it up. .. but will be 350-400 hp 302ci.
 
I prefer my classic's in the bow tie format with the exception of a 65 Shelby cobra and ford gt, which are both totally out of my budget. What I would give for a pro touring 2nd gen camaro split bumper though.

Nice.. worked on plenty of classic Blue oval and Bowties lol
 
What's your thought process behind choosing the KSports?
A couple guys I know run them on the second gen foci's and swear by them. I was told they are a little stiff but overall good quality. I honestly just don't really like the way v-maxx's worked out for everyone and I don't want H&Rs..

Think these are a good decision?
 
There's also the ST (by KW) ones out there.

I wasn't thinking good or bad... Just with the influx of a bunch of new stuff I'm just wondering what drew you to them.

Coilovers are on my short list of things to do, so I'm always keeping my ears to the ground for my myself.

Would the ST variant be more street friendly? The link he posted basically describes these as an all out track coilover. Another member on the forum is running D2 rs coilovers.
"The Ksport Kontrol Pro Coilover kit has been designed with professional road racing in mind offering extremely high value and performance."
 
You've also got the new ICS', Bilstein's, KW

It all depends on the amount of adjustment you want and how high or low you wanna go.

ST's are high quality but non-adjustable (dampening), more designed for day to day use. They start at higher than most and won't drop you as far.
 
Interested to see how it turned out. I'm personally not a fan of mid-wings, but I'll withhold judgement until I see it. I'd love to hear the exhaust as well. That was a used system from Raf, right?

I actually bought a Steeda RSB from him last week, we were talking about your new exhaust [like]
I was thinking about that RSB too.

Saw your car at the mall a couple of weeks ago, near Sport Chek. Once the weather gets better we should meet up a again. I got some questions about speaker upgrades and stuff

For sure, Just get a hold of me sometime. The paint on the bar was not great, so I ended up getting it sandblasted and repainted it myself. I'm happy with it. [like]

That is the one Steeda part I wouldn't purchase. There's been a few break.
Is that with the MK3 RSB specifically? I've heard rumors, but not seen any documented for the MK3.

I got mine for a good price used, so I'm not going to worry unless / until it breaks [goofydrunk]
 
Yep Mk3 specifically... One of my buddy's here in ABQ and another guy I know in TX... And I've heard of others too supposedly, I know only of two personally.

I really like the heft and build of the Whiteline I have.
 
The JBR bars look really good too. I was looking at the Whitelines, but like I said, I got a good deal, so the Steeda will do me for now anyways.
