  1. UCA - Decisions decisions

    I went with the BMR adjustable UCA with poly bushings on both ends a couple years ago, and reading Billy's praise on the Roush 3rd link also has me reconsidering that. As Grant above and Billy said in the article, the rubber bushings don't "shock load" the tire as much as a poly bushing or...
  2. Lap Time Thread

    I got a chance to go to Club Motorsports in NH this past weekend with the MassTuning club. Still learning this tricky mountain track, and having a lot of fun doing so.Track: Club Motorsports Time: 1:48.0 Car: 2012 Mustang GT Wheels: 19x10 SVE Tires: 275/40R19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on all 4...
  3. Whine / Howl Coming from the Rear End Area at High Speeds

    Keep in mind that aftermarket UCA's on the rear will also transmit more NVH than a stock one.

  5. Best street suspension setup

    Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately it seems the OEM BOSS 302 shocks/struts are NOT cheap (~$1350 on RockAuto for all 4), though it'd likely be a good option. Koni yellows are very tempting, but my Autocross buddies are trying to push me into the Bilsteins which are a little cheaper. My...
  6. Best street suspension setup

    Hi all. Long time lurker here, but first time poster. With the track day/time trial season looking like it will be shortened because of COVID, my car is only going to be seeing street driving for the foreseeable future. Instead of springing for a new set of coil overs for the track, I think the...
