1. We have tried the Tire Rack heat cycling and it does not work (should say it does not work for us). Waste of money.
2. If anything seriously goes wrong with the tire, Hoosier will not replace it if it has been Tire Rack heat cycled.
3. If properly heat cycled and allowed to cure, for us...
I would like to revisit the power steering pump premature failing phenomenon.
On the FR, I use Ford Remans. Although more expensive, and do not have a warranty, consensus says they last the longest and I'm not willing to experiment with others.
Do you think it could be because we are running...
@67GTA, the teams ran them because they had to according to rules. If they had a choice they would not have.
If this is for your race car, look at the Steeda adjustable with heim and large spherical on the axle.
May not be for everyone, but for me it works very well. I like firm, solid, no...
Regarding what Norm said in post #67.
Just to put some rough numbers on a historically rule of thumb:
Rubber= 2-3* PA
Poly= 1.5-2*
Heim Joints= 0.5-1.5*
On the Brembo 4-piston race caliper the Ti heat shield plates will take up all the room.
Barely a red hairs worth of space left.
We're talking new pads of course.
But not sure what setup you have.
Suggestion: Install new pads with new rotors and measure how much space you have left. I think you...

You're thoughts??? Please chime in.
It is 2020. On an S197, 2008 Mustang GT racecar, 3600# race weight, what would you consider the "best" width full racing wets?Class rules say I am allowed 315 on fronts and 335 on rear.
I only have available 18x10.5 wheels.
Not concerned about DOT rating.
TIA.
Better, but just don't get t-boned in the drivers's side or slide sideways into a pillar or end of armco.
I realize your rules are loose, and you want to also cruise the car on the street, but as far as racing safety, you can't have it both ways. You're wheelin faster now and are on track with...
In my opinion, it should not be what is minimally mandated.Safety items and components should be at the top of your budget list. Get the best you can afford, or better. All else is secondary.WHAT IS YOUR HEAD AND BODY WORTH TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY?
