    I heard BS1 is ok with using rear lower control arms as long as you mention which rims and watts link you are running! 🤣🤷🏼‍♂️🤡

    Even with aggressive rear pads R8 in my case the Fronts R10 and R12 were gone before my R8's were gone and that's with all the extra heat from ABS and the longer stops. That been said the DS2500 works amazingly well on the rear and besides the... (see full post)

    In my fervent search for information regarding Ferodo pads earlier this year, I've read the M2 posts and other people's testimonies, and as well as from my own experience - I can attest to the DS2500 being a great street, autox and light track...

    And these guys say the same thing. The DS2500 disappears pretty quickly on the front (although it stops the car all the way through the session).https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1743886One post from that thread quoted below...

    Ok, thanks. Ferodo says DS2500 is ok for road use, but DSUNO "is not suitable for road use." :confused: The DS2500 is the only Ferodo pad that does not have that warning.Just for reference, an Essex rep giving Ferodo advice for heavy...

    Depends on the spring. There are "zero" rate helpers that do fully compress when the car is on the ground but keep the main spring in position when the car is elevated or if it gets air on track. These do not impact the overall rate. There are...

    Transmission is back at builder, has been disassembled and has unfortunately been given a clean bill of health. By process of elimination that leaves the engine as my only remaining possibility for the cause of my issues. Too bad.Gonna have...

    Small world. I have a Boss and my daughter RS at the house now. The RS is a fun little car. A little shy on rubber/tires though. (see full post)

    Maybe a question for Tim but could I run G-locs in the front and OEM pads in the rear? For the street/track, I would swap the front pads and rotors as I have 2 sets of front rotors. I would run OEM pads on the street so wouldn’t want to mix brake...

    Awesome story, Grandpa ray! I look forward to hearing about your on track adventures with the GT350. (see full post)
  • It's a 'strut' because of the geometry of the links. 'Coil-over' generally refers to a damper with a threaded body to allow for an adjustabile spring perch.It's slang. (see full post)
  • TeeLew reacted to Dave_W's post in the thread Stupid Question About Coil Overs with Like Like.
    Who says it's not a coilover? It's the difference between using the technical definition and the colloquial / common slang definition.By the technical definition (a coil spring mounted coaxially to a damper), all McPherson Strut designs are a...

    Coil overs offer ride height and/or spring preload adjustment, where struts are typically fixed.

    Ford puts 6 heat exchangers on the GT500. Chasing that heat monster can be a challenge. N/A for the track is popular for a reason.

    Probably not, but it might help it last a bit longer. I have yet to see anyone pair a supercharger with a track Mustang and it be reliable long term. The few that manage to keep it going for any length of time are master fabricators with a ton...
