    GT350 Carbon Ceramic Brakes - now available for all four corners!

    @JAJ great info...all makes sense. So if you wanted to run 18" wheels. Would you do the caliper mod (I have a spare caliper)and run the RB 380mm iron 2pc rotors for $1080+pads or run their Caliper/380mm rotor for $3060? In other words do you gain enough brake performance in the running the...

    GT350 Carbon Ceramic Brakes - now available for all four corners!

    Just for clarification to those that read this the 380mm carbon ceramic rotors are only for the GT not the GT350. The GT350 CCB option only comes in 394mm(front).BTW I found very similar (same rotor, different hat) front GT350 carbon ceramic rotors for $1400 less than the Racing Brake...

    GT350 Carbon Ceramic Brakes - now available for all four corners!

    I was checking those out as well. Significantly less than the AP Racing brake (FP350S) option but does eliminate the rear parking brake where AP Racing just came out with a rear brake option that retains the parking brake. However they have a rear OE style 380mm brake rotor that is superior to...

    "Clicking" from rear wheel/suspension

    CV joint(s) I had my half axles replaced for the same reason. Does it make the noise when you just start to move forward?

    What's the Best Engine on Sale Today?

    Thanks. Since turning the GT350 into a dedicated track car I was on the hunt for a daily even though I work from home that I could drop the kids off at school, etc. I was also tired of getting beat up from the F250. I cross shopped the C63s AMG and the M3 comp pkg. The 4.0L twin turbo V8 of...

    What's the Best Engine on Sale Today?

    Yes I am. The car is quite fun. The chassis handles the addtl power well. It is a low 11 sec @ 128ish mph car now. I think it would hang with my GT350 quite well on the track but mine in current form is still faster. A stock GT350 wouldn't stand a chance. Heck they put 60 comp Pirelli...

    What's the Best Engine on Sale Today?

    I can say the Ferrari derived Alfa Romeo 2.9L 90* 6cyl twin turbo CPC (#1 on the list) from the F154 Ferrari engine family is one little crazy engine. The Ferrari 458 Speciale engineering team along with Alfa Romeo designed the Giulia Quadrifoglio including aero in Ferrari's wind tunnel...

    16 GT350 track pack running hot on the street

    40-50mph is 3rd gear is something like 4500rpms on a 85* day hitting that oil temp seems to be the expected temp. I have hit that on the street with some spirited driving. Check your oil level just to ensure that is not an issue.

    Wheel bearing failure

    Definitely the symptom of a wheel bearing. The S550 guys seem to see that issue often. First I have heard of a GT350 though.

    Wheel bearing failure

    No wheel bearing failure here but both outboard CV joints were making noise. CV joints failing has been more common but first I have heard of a wheel bearing failure. What were the symptoms?Here is the noise on the CV joints (not mine):

    Ford Performance GT350 spring rates

    No, those are the correct individual part numbers. I just installed them on my car. The M-5300-W is the part number for the F/R set.Here is the front.
