Hey @22CarbGrayElite, look at Corvette front brake air ducts. They look like they can be attached to the frame rail and feed the rotors with a short piece of flex duct. Like you said and I have also experienced, and, until you have done it you can't imagine the extra stopping power nor the satisfaction you did it yourself.

Wait till you put together Fox Mustang Cobra brakes scrounged from junk yard parts. I can remember pulling axles out of 2 different Ford Aerostar vans. The car stopped after that upgrade.

Everyone should be aware of this memo from Ford. https://fordcrashparts.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Ford_Glass_Replacement_Postion-Statement_FNL_2022.pdf

This reminds me of servicing the CV joints on my '69 VW..😉 I think I still have the 12 point Snap-On fall off socket.

Go over to Summit Racing and plug in your car info and go from there...

An old trick was to paint the link or tooth at each timing mark. Now you know how many links/teeth between cam marks ( used to have to align the distributor/oil pump also)and pre-mark the new chain/belt.

2008 Limited with 215K miles and I changed the antifreeze once a few years ago. Still running fine with no problems.

This might give you a clue but, it looks like they buried it down low.

The lighter wheels were an aid in handling. AKA road racing. It does this by reducing unsprung weight, so the suspension follows the irregular road surfaces better. Now if you want to go around corners.........

Did you clean the negative battery terminals down to clean copper and lead? For the last 50+ years, the 1st. thing I've asked the FORD client, "Have you cleaned the terminals"etc.

For a squishy ride try 235/70-17s or 245/65-17s depending on wheel width. A wider tire on a narrower rim will give a softer ride than a narrow tire on a wide rim within reason! But, according to the chart below, the wheels are only 7.5 inches wide or unfit for your needs. https://www.wheel-size.com/size/ford/mustang/2018/ The best you might do is 18 inch wheels. https://www.wheel-size.com/size/ford/edge/2018/#generation-ii-facelift-2018-2024 Check local wrecking yards too.

You can do the tranny at the same time! Pop 2 plugs, drain, add the fluid (Ford has built-in a handy funnel holder), drink your favorite waiting beverage for the fluid to reach 180 F about 10 minutes and install the site plug!

This is a whole lot easier than changing fluid on a C4. Then bumping the engine over to find the drain plug and draining the Torque Converter. Not to mention somewhere between 10 to 13 Quarts. Did I forget the refill procedure? To lazy to type it out! These things are easy to DIY just HOT!

Also Valvoline Protect and Restore the oil.
