    Not acceptable engineering. Return for refund. Here are my rear camber arms of choice https://aadperformance.com/collections/mustang/products/2015-mustang-s550-rear-camber-teailing-arm (see full post)

    I see the swaybar is not attached to the end links. Hook that up first as that may provide the droop limit needed to keep out of contact.

    Hi, guys say i just replaced the clutch in my 2014, Mustang GT and flywheel. Because it was getting stuck in reverse. It drove grain for a month, but now it's getting stuck again. Even worse, any ideas, what this could be?

    I would not go with a 40 aspect ratio but a square set is the way to go. Many of us have run 18x11s, and with a spacer and some longer ARP style studs a nice set of 315/30/18s will give you a stick like glue feel on track. (see full post)

    I am thinking about doing a forged apex square setup with the continental 295/40R18 square. I like the fitment of the CCW but a square rotatable setup seems very pocket book friendly. Just have to get over that 25mm spacer (see full post)

    Another S550 build. One lesson leaned, my braided brake lines from the previous GT500 calipers in that the lines are not compatible. Had to replace those for the 550 Brembos.

    At the request of @Junkyard Dog here is the link to my BL Fabrications turbo install. It has been quite a journey, with challenges appearing almost every step of the way, but so far, I’ve been able to adapt and overcome those challenges. I’m very...
  • The MGW shifter is a complete game-changer. Even the MT82 is acceptable with it. (see full post)
  • I've had an S197 for a long time and recently picked up a GT350. MGW shifter is mandatory IMO to help improve the absolutely terrible feeling of the MT82. Naturally, I planned on getting one for my GT350 but the 3160 shifter is actually pretty...
  • I own a GT350 and a Mustang Race car with a Magnum XL, I've also owned 2 mustangs that had MT82s.The MT82 is an awful, dreadful transmission out of the box, sloppy shifting, lockout pains - I can't find a single positive thing to say about it...

    Copy that Junkyard Dog. Ask and you shall receive…I am currently deep into the weeds on the install and it has been extremely challenging at almost every turn. So much has had to be modified, but I’ve made a considerable amount of progress thus... (see full post)

    Not an Insurance claim, simply an old track rat driving his brain way past the first apex and drifting off track --- missed the guardrail but I might have bumped my head, haha! (see full post)

    Oh, wow, that sounds a lot better and makes me more likely to get some Apex wheels. Sorry, I thought it was maybe like an insurance claim or something where you could get a new wheel under warranty and pay 50% to keep the old one and fix it...

    Ha, ha, ha, positive proof old farts should not type while watching TV. Let's rephrase that goofy post of mine to read, "If you damage a wheel Apex will sell you a replacement for only 50% of retail. " Now that does sound better doesn't it...

    I’m not sure whether the arms are beefier on mine or if it’s just the machined surface that makes it look that way. Mine was built at the tale end of 2021 and I got the front hubs from the next model of the Mustang so maybe the rears are... (see full post)
