Default UnderDrive Pulleys ??? 2003 Mustang GT

I'm looking to get some Under Drive Pulleys for my 2003 Mustang Gt, but I'm hesitant because i heard that they can cause problems with your accessory's and dim your lights. The only brand i would buy would be Steeda has anyone had problems with them??

I've had them for more than 18 months now, never had a problem and I have 2 large amps powering my stereo system with 6 speakers added on top of the mach 460 system. It charges fine, no dimming of the lights. There were problems with the old fox bodies, but our alternators are stronger, go for it.

They underdrive the accessories freeing up some hp lost to parasitic drag. Any SFI-approved harmonic balancer is fine.

I had a set of march UDP on my 01 GTand they were great. It seemed to pull stronger on the top end. Steeda makes great products but the march were cheaper at the time. I had a friend with the steeda UDP and he said he had trouble telling the difference. All I can say is the March UDP were wonderful, no dimming, and the a/c blew just as cold as before. Good Luck

Hands down I would go with Steeda pulleys. No problems at all, a great mod that frees up hp
