bnight has the magic formula we have all found --- square means quite a bit better life with a normal rotation procedure. With a Mustang those tiny tires up front just are not up to the dive under braking going into a tight turn.......can you say...-
Repave...............sounds like I do have a good reason to wander up there this year and run with a few friends! Repave usually means easy on tires and I do welcome that!
On the front I've run 185 (stock), 220, 275, 450, 500 #/in springs. I've got a pair of 400's in my spring box. Every increase in front spring rate has given a step in performance. If I were tuning this car for Ford, I'd probably have 300's on the...

I think I "MAY" be selling the Boss. Where would the best place be to list it. I have a price in mind if I do decide this, I think it's fair.Not looking for pricing advise, just the best place to list it. Thanks.....
Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Suspension soft?.TeeLew mentioned in an earlier post it wasn’t bad on the street or i should say ride wasn’t terrible. I am not concerned about ride in this car (see full post)-

Barber is very 'chunking' friendly track. 1,2,3,4 is a chunk, 5 is a chunk, 7-8 chunk, 9-10 chunk, 11-12 chunk, 13-14 chunk. Now we're down from 14 corners to 6 'chunks' or complexes. These corners connect in a way which will be the fastest...
Bill Pemberton replied to the thread S550 @carbon.cinematic S550 Ecoboost Time Attack.I applaud you for driving your Stang in the Winter and in snow. It is a lost art required by most of us old farts where all wheel drive was almost non existent. A set of good snow tires all the way around and it is amazing how well many cars... (see full post)
