Build a modified S550 Mustang (Street/AutoX/Track)

Share

This build out covers the S550 Ford Mustang (Ecoboost, V6 and GT) – pictured below member John R along with Kona Bob

Note: This build sheet is originally based off of a 2015 2.3L Performance Pack. (That means it has things like larger sway bars from factory).


We’ve broken down what you’d need to do to your S550 to get it track ready

**NOTE: The stages outlined below tend to be cumulative. For example, if you’re considering a Stage-3 build, you will be have to use some if not most of the upgrades from Stage-1 and Stage-2. For overlapping mods like suspension, you can skip to the higher stage, but pay attention to how the “set” comes together.
