Bill Pemberton replied to the thread Over achieving street/track tires?.I would agree with Rodwpnz on the Conti Extreme Contact Sport 02s, a newer generation tire than the PS4S and it both my experience and in tests with Tire Rack a faster , quieter, better riding tire. Friends running them on Porsches are pleased... (see full post)-
Not sure if you're looking for a daily street tire that can be used on track, or a track tire that you can drive to the track but swap out for daily driving. Also, being based in New England, I'm guessing you're willing to give up some dry...

Like.Rs4. They last forever. Better grip than ps4. Cheaper. Check also the khumo 730 Or nexen (better grip but takes longer to warm) Lastly the conti EC 200tw (trackdaytires) are endurance 200tw (similar to Rs4) Ps4 is waaay over rated. There are... -
Bill Pemberton replied to the thread S550 2018 Lightning Blue GT350 - Time Trial build.Glad to see you went with the studs and wheels as the ability to rotate is one of the best way to reduce tire costs. The studs, which so many hesitate on, are a safety benefit regardless of whether one needs a spacer or not. So many of us have... (see full post)

Mustangs are tragically undersprung on the front. Get AJ Hartman's Magneride kit with 400-450 #/in springs. It's a massive difference in driving and a lot less harsh than you'd think. Use the stock rear spring to start. A bigger front anti-roll...-
Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Suspension soft?.Ok great. Kinda what i was thinking. I’ll check out those springsThis kit i assume? Great site with lots of goodies but this with a stiffer sway bar should help a lot (see full post)

Fabman reacted to TeeLew's post in the thread New Aluminum Bellhousing for Magnum XL Swaps with Like.Honestly, this is the move. Find someone in North Carolina to get you a Jericho. They're cheap and strong. You can get any gears you want. They're 1/2 the weight of a modern 6 speed. If you want to go back more street driving, swap back. If you...
Rodpwnz replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.I have AJ's kit ready to install - and I currently have compatible 400 front and 1100 rear springs. I guess I'll keep the 400 front and maybe get 800ish rear. Many people I trust have given me wildly different advice regarding front and rear...

This is track mode. Seems like it still leans a bit much? Do i need white line or some other better sway bar? Factory magna ride. Or is is just a big heavy car thing

- TeeLew replied to the thread Over achieving street/track tires?.They're a little noisey and the grip limit isn't like the top level tires. All in all, though, they wear well and are completely usable tires. (see full post)
