    We gained a whole lot of traction and ridgidity, which means next we have to make a little more power to really put these new parts to the test. Stick around, and drive safe out there gang 👊
    On another note, I'm aware this is a 30-minute video talking about some parts I got installed. However, it's because I wanted to fill you guys in on every aspect of undergoing an install like this; which meant discussing the price of the parts, labour, my thoughts, and the complications that came with the whole process. So I hope you guys enjoyed listening to my experience and thoughts, but more importantly I hope I was able to help some of you identify the next mod(s) for your Mustang, and/or potentially which mod(s) to avoid.

    You’ll love the headers, it really wakes the car up and if you pair it with gears you’ll be beating or hanging with cars you aren’t supposed to

      Haha I love that ending statement that's jokes. I'm looking forward to it tremendously, I already have the long tubes just need the mid pipe. I imagine adding the Alu Driveshaft only makes your statement even more true.

    It’s 2:32 AM and I just finished the whole video. Let me start off by saying that shop is absolutely disappointing. The fact that they didn’t do anything you requested in those 15 days is absurd! Especially the part where they gave you back 1 of the 4 brake caliper covers I found that funny 😂 anyways awesome video as always and I love how you use your hands a lot when you speak just shows your professionalism!

      Oh no! Haha meanwhile i'm just waking up 🌞 But yea it was not a good experience at all, which is a shame because ideally you'd want installing a bunch of parts to be an enjoyable and positive time. To this day I have no clue what happened to the caliper covers and neither do they 🤷‍♂️ But thanks for watching and supporting your boy 👊

    Great video as usual. I run the same brand s.s.brake lines with the 4 piston Brembo's and I agree, the brake feel is about the same as stock. My Explorer has a firmer brake feel that my Mustang. I also agree with moe d, adjust the panhard bar. Not a hard job with a jack and stands, RUclips it. As for spacers, just look at where the wheel contacts the rotors. If the wheel is flush with the rotor then there is no spacer, if there is a spacer you'll see it between the wheel and rotor. Oh yeah, keep looking for a shop that KNOWS how to work on your baby, you're batting zero with shops so far. Good luck, and keep em' coming.

      Appreciate your feedback and viewership as always brother. It's sad to hear that even pairing brembos with the s.s lines still has that squishy pedal feel. Would upgrading the servo do the trick to finally get a different pedal feel? I wonder. The offset issue has now been resolved indubitably by adjusting the panhard bar which is great info from you guys. As for checking for spacers, I'm shocked it slipped by me to not actually simply check as you mentioned lol... Quite disappointing on that one, so thanks for the reminder of the easy way to check for spacers. As for finding the right shop; a tall task it is lol. I have an idea of where I'll be taking my car next to have major work done so hopefully that goes better when that time comes. Until then though, I'm going to be bringing back some DIY installations to the channel in the very near future. It's been a while since I really got my hands dirty so I'm looking forward to it :)

    Did you end up going back to the shop to get the mustang looked at?

    • @OctaneStreet
      @OctaneStreet  2 года назад

      Yes, and the offset was in fact due to the panhard needing adjustment.

    From other videos I have watched... the issue with one wheel sticking out more than the other has to do with with how the panhard bar is adjusted. From what I understand this happens anytime the car is lowered, thus the reason for the adjustable Panhard bar. I would have another shop look at it..watch this video at about 4:30 ruclips.net/video/l7gJaCKKfRU/видео.html

    • @OctaneStreet

      Wow. You know, I gave it brief thought that it could be the panhard needing adjustment but didn't think it could cause THIS BIG of a difference in offset. Huge thanks for providing that bit of information, definitely helps! I appreciate the link as well.

      @@OctaneStreet NP my Friend. I watch A LOT of RUclips to get ideas for my 2006 Mustang GT and just happened to remember that it would offset the wheels when lowered. Good luck with your build.

      @@OctaneStreet yessir, literally the exact same thing happened to me the same side as yours with the wheels tucked in on one side, when i first installed my eibach lowering springs & then i went with whiteline adjustable panhard bar, & apparently after you have someone install them for you, your supposed to get the suspension aligned at the alignment shop, that's what the adjustable panhard bar is for to prevent the rear axle from moving side to side & to keep it centered & have no wheels further out on either side, after the alignment problems were all solved

      @@josephr.8622 Thanks for helping confirm this homie. What sucks is that the car did get an alignment done at an alignment shop afterward so it's frustrating they didn't adjust the panhard bar IF this is the case.... Ima be real salty if that's the case considering the completion of my car got delayed over a week solely because of the alignment 🤡
