    302S Jump Drive

    Yes! I think this is what I am looking for. I need to polish up on my search skills.

    302S Jump Drive

    Hello!Not sure this is the correct forum sub forum for this, but my father-in-law recently acquired a 302S however it did not come with the USB jump drive with the supplemental information about the vehicle. I have searched the internet and this forum and nothing has come up. Does anyone know...

    Sway Bar Settings

    Update from the weekendI thought I would come back to the thread and update my experience from the weekend at Willow. Started out the weekend with the shocks (M-18000-C) set at 2 Front and 5 rear. Car felt good the first day, no major oversteer and just a little bit of push in the low speed...

    Sway Bar Settings

    At this point I think I will just need to go out and experiment. I've tuned other cars before and still play with subtle adjustments to get the most out of my other track car. I've just never had such a big difference from one mod to the next in the way a car has felt. It went from neutral to...

    Sway Bar Settings

    That track day the tires were OEM with about 4k of street miles. We usually use NT555RII but this was an abbreviated day so we used the stock wheels/tires for once. Maybe it was just the tires? I think those OEM Pirellis are some of the worst I have ever used. It still seemed very tail happy...

    Sway Bar Settings

    Thanks for the setup info. What wheel/tire combo are you running with this?

    Sway Bar Settings

    Yes, I think it was just fluid coming out of the breather, although they did add/replace something. I need to look at the paperwork to confirm.

    Sway Bar Settings

    I am reviving this thread because ever since I put the M-5490-A sway bars on, the car has been oversteering really badly. I had it out on the track shortly in March and I couldn't put the power down anywhere. Previously with the same setup and stock bars, the car ran very neutral.I am running...

    Sway Bar Settings

    Thanks for passing the info along, this is very useful. I never would have known that the rears were not adjustable so that is helpful. I'll start out on the middle setting on both sides and adjust from there.I have had the Boss on track for one weekend with everything listed in my original...

    Triple play

    That is a great set of Mustangs. I almost bought a bullitt when they were first out but the Boss ended up being my first Mustang. I also live in the Seattle area but keep the Boss down in SoCal for the winter so we can 'enjoy' it at Willow Springs. We are bringing it up here in May and I can't...

    Brakes Revisited

    Thanks for the heads up on KNS. I will check them out if I go with new DBA rings.However, this time I'm leaning toward going with some regular slotted rotors. I tried finding the Power Slots but everyone I checked is out of them. Does anyone have any leads on slotted rotors that are...

    Brakes Revisited

    Thanks for the feedback. I have a great shop that works on the M3 here in Seattle and that's what they have confirmed over the years that the surface cracking is OK and like you said unavoidable.The cracks at every hole concerned me as well. And yes I completely agree, for now on I am...

    Brakes Revisited

    Here are a few pictures of my current front brake rotors. The first is from my E36 M3 track car. This is the type of wear I am used to seeing. It is hard to tell from the pictures but the cracks on the surface of the rotor are very fine, even though there are a ton of them. The next three are of...
