  1. Squeaky rear brakes driving me insane

    Save yourself the time. I spent months chasing this exact same squeal. I didn't want to believe it at first but it was a bent axle. I greased the pins, shimmed the caliper, changed my pads, machined the rotors. Didn't change a thing. Finally just replaced the axle and it was fixed...
  2. winter tires?

    I drove mine through the first winter I had it. Hankook Winter iCept Evos are a good performance winter tire as well. Probably cost a bit less than the Pirellis. I was fine through a pretty miserable Toronto winter. The only time I got semi-stuck was the morning after a huge storm and my...
  3. Hawk DTC 70 pad thickness

    Thanks all. Hawk needs to fix their website!
  4. Hawk DTC 70 pad thickness

    Thank you sir. I assume the .670 pads won't fit?
  5. Hawk DTC 70 pad thickness

    I did a quick search but I couldn't find anything. I'm a bit confused as to how thick I should be ordering DTC pads in. Hawk Performance search lists the .670 pad as fitting but everyone else seems be selling the .585 pad.
  6. Soft pedal when switching to HP+ pads

    The pads are slightly more worn than my street pads but not enough, I don't think to create that much more travel. I was thinking the same thing as pads don't really compress right? The problem is, it's not just when the car is moving. The pedal sinks lower just sitting at a standstill when...
  7. Soft pedal when switching to HP+ pads

    Yeah they are. I remember taking a good look at them last time I had them out and measured them too.
  8. Soft pedal when switching to HP+ pads

    I use HPS pads on the street and switch to HP+ for track days. Every time I put on the track pads, my pedal goes mushy. As soon as I switch back to my HPS pads, it's fine. Has anyone ever experienced this? I'm running ATE fluid and braided lines. It stops fine on the track but it definitely...
  9. Sway bars necessary

    Thanks boro92! I know many of you guys are running a smaller rear bar (or no bar) but I've never read a good explanation as to exactly why.
  10. Camber Caster and Toe

    Ah OK. I think I squeezed a bit more out of mine when installing my AST dampers. The bottom spindle mount hole is slotted so I tilted the top of the spindle all the way in before I tightened the bolts. I'm at 2.5 and still have lots of room on my plates.
  11. Camber Caster and Toe

    I've been told by a few people who are much faster than me in their Mustangs that factory caster angles are usually the best and zero toe. Why only 2.0 degrees of camber though? I'd run at least 2.5 degrees on the track. My street/track car has been at 2.5 all year. Will be going with 3.0 in...
  12. Autopower roll bar - any experiences?

    OK, this just sealed the deal. I've been on the fence about which roll bar to get (Watson or MM) but you can't beat that price!
  13. Member Introductions - Introduce Yourself

    Re: Member IntroductionsHi all! Stumbled across this forum when searching for track setups and ideas. There's a wealth of info in here! I don't have a Boss but I have a 2013 GT track pack that's being built for open track days. It was supposed to stay stock for 3 years but that didn't last...
  14. Watson Racing Roll Bar Group Buy

    Sorry to ressurect this thread. Also, hi everyone. First post here.How are you guys with this bar installed bringing your tires to the track? Can you still fit a set of wheels in your car?
