    Replacing shocks and struts for mostly street use

    Actually, scratch that. The camber plates I have are for 05-10 style struts because the konis are 05-10 style so I’d have to get new plates to go back to stock

    Replacing shocks and struts for mostly street use

    I never drove it on stock dampers so I wouldn’t know how it is. I bought the car used and it had these Koni’s on it.How is it with P Springs? Is it overly soft?Even if no one has stocks laying around I could get OE stuff at a discount from the dealer by me cause I used to work for them.

    Replacing shocks and struts for mostly street use

    Hey there fine people!It’s about time for me to swap out the dampers on my 2014 GT. The car had/has Koni STRT’s on it from when I purchased it, which means they’ve got roughly 50k miles on them now and theyre starting to feel less than great.I’m wondering what everyone might recommend for a...

    Huge brake upgrade for S197 chassis

    I do have brake cooling ducting currently installed. I’m running 1521 carbotechs as a street pad and was never really thrilled with what I felt was low initial bite. Otherwise haven’t had an issue with them. I was thinking the larger GT500 brakes would get me some more initial grab on the street...

    Huge brake upgrade for S197 chassis

    Christ.... I really don’t feel like buying another set of wheels and tires. Maybe I’ll try running an autocross pad on the street.

    Huge brake upgrade for S197 chassis

    Does anyone know if Forgestar F14 18x10s barrel clears this brake setup? I’ve recently installed a supercharger on my car and I seem to be in need of more brake, allegedly.... LOL

    Stock Parts For Sale

    Do you still have the stock mufflers? I'm assuming they'd fit on my 2014 GT. I need to put mufflers back on this car as its recently gotten much louder and I cannot handle it anymore lol.

    Springs for the street

    @Senna1Yeah, i feel the car is much more bearable on the street for me personally now. Thevrear came up a half inch vs what was on it and it mostly stays off the bump stops which helped the most I would imagine.As far as track work, I can’t really say. I had it out on Sunday for the first...

    FINALLY going to get out on track this year!

    @TMSBOSS teah but that’s a Wednesday and I can’t take off work for this. Gingerman weekend makes more sense at the moment because it’s two days on a weekend and one of our friends has a place up there we can stay at for free. So that’s likely the play for me. We’ll see.

    FINALLY going to get out on track this year!

    @VoodooBoss I didn't take any pictures or videos but I believe there was some video recorded by the people who hosted the event that is being compiled and will be sent out to us in the coming days. A few of the guys I went with had dash cams and all manner of other fun toys that I'm much too...

    FINALLY going to get out on track this year!

    Okay! We made it without (major) incident!Went out to Autobahn Country Club on Sunday and ran the south circuit. For those of you who haven't been there, its a 2.1 mile circuit that I found pretty fun. For those of you who HAVE been there, you'll recognize the times I'm about to reference as...

    FINALLY going to get out on track this year!

    @SGwick My hope is that Autobahn and Gingerman aren't fast enough for me to really overheat it. Road Atlanta has some monster power sections! HahaAlso I see that Illinois plate, whereabouts are you from? I'm in the southwest burbs, Hickory Hills.

    FINALLY going to get out on track this year!

    @Mad302 im not too sure how good my review is going to be as I haven't any other tires to compare them to. I've driven aggressively on Pilot Super Sports before but it was on a completely different car, my previous Focus ST, and I'm not sure I can cross compare. But I'll be sure to let everyone...

    FINALLY going to get out on track this year!

    @VoodooBoss yes I definitely don't mean give it hell in that sense. I mean give it hell as in this car has 37k miles of non track miles on it and it'll probably think it's in hell when I take it out that first time.

    FINALLY going to get out on track this year!

    @Grant 302 I'll give that a shot. My plan here is to go out there and give it as much hell as I feel safe doing and at the end of the day if I haven't broken anything or ruined the tires then I'll register for the weekend at Gingerman in October.I've got that brake cooling installed now, so...
