    First Domestic vehicle. First live-axle vehicle. First post on this forum.

    Ran across this thread and knew that American Muscle listed the specs in their “Tech Specs” of the SR Performance Spring. (I had been eying these) On their website. I did see where you asked if there was a second source so if you already knew if this one, my apologies...

    I’ve decided to stick with my current plan with the 4 piston Brembo calipers. Thanks for all the input!As for the rear gt500 brake upgrade, before I knew it would help with heat management and the rear seals, I had decided to make that switch purely for aesthetic reasons. (Conflicts with the...

    Talk me in to or Talk me out of doing this…

    Thanks! That’s a perspective I haven’t heard before of how much less they wear. Didn’t consider how long pads would last. Of course, this is a daily and I’m only looking to do my very first track day this year. When this opportunity came up I figured I would ask those who knew more than me...

    Budget Rotors from Walmart!

    Thanks for the recommendation. I vaguely remember reading about these but didn’t look into them to see how good they were. Now I know.

    RESOLVED - Bane of My Existence - Coolant Pump Seal/Timing Cover Gasket HELP!!

    The problem has been fixed. The solution?BUY FORD GASKETS!I went to my local Ford dealership and bought two of the gaskets I was needing. Went back and went through the same exact process, only difference being that I was using the OEM unit and not the aftermarket unit by Fel-Pro.Slipped...

    Budget Rotors from Walmart!

    Well I guess I was factoring in shipping from Rock auto. I think it came out to about $70-$80 per rotor with shipping cost on my end. So when I was able to save that much or little more and put towards some other things, I felt like I hit a little jack pot for myself. Good to know about the...

    RESOLVED - Bane of My Existence - Coolant Pump Seal/Timing Cover Gasket HELP!!

    Good Question. The first time, no. Total blunder on my parts. So after buying a whole new kit to get that seal I made sure the second time everything was lined up before trying again and it still ripped. The seal itself has a metal band around the front and back edge. The only thing I could...

    What started as a water pump repair has turned into a lot, lot more…Water pump was easy to remove and I had all the parts to fix it this past Sunday. Fast forward 3 days and I’m in neck deep into a coolant pump seal repair or as everywhere else calls it, a “ford gasket”. Nothing at all I...
