Formula D driver and Drift Mustang member, Drift Patrol Dan, has a new Mustang in the works over at Grigg's Racing. Drift Patrol 2.0 sports new drift specific products that I should share with Drift Mustang enthusiasts out there.

Drift Patrol 2.0:

This time Dan is starting with a GT. The front bumper and fender extension design of the GT allow for more tire clearance when adding to the front track width. Of course you can always pick a GT front end up at the junkyard and throw it on your LX.

The Lower Control Arms:

The Lower Control Arms are designed with a curve to the following leg of the A-Frame that allows for extra tire clearance. These are one-off units built for Dan's car, and since Dan does not run a swaybar, you will notice that there is no mount for one. You will also notice that the steer arm on the factory SN95 spindles has been shortened. The increases the steering speed as well as the total amount of angle achievable. Formula D rules require the use of a factory spindle. For those of you not competing at a professional level, I recommend picking up a set of SN95 2" drop spindles from RaceCraft.

Shot of the Lower Control Arms on the car:

Here you can see the LCAs on the car. When the wheel is a full lock, the recess in the trailing arm will allow additional clearance for the rim and tire. This is a shot of the passenger side front wheel taken from inside the engine compartment.

Dual Caliper Rear Brakes:

Although some people have have luck using an inline solution that simply plumbs into the existing rear brakes, all the professional cars add a separate brake system for their e-brake. This ensures that neither the foot brake nor the e-brake are compromise systems.
