    Randy Pobst on the Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD09, which come in 295/30R19 and 325/30R19, which he claims lasts for a 4000 mile One Lap of America on a 4600 pound Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody Redeye, 16 track events . . . that is a lot of mileage

    Yes. I like them. I have improved my PB at our local track with them, though previously on Falken RT615k+ so maybe not surprising. I can't comment on longevity as I have only had them on for a couple of sessions, but they seem to be holding up...

    Easy-Peasy ETrailer has the hitch in stockYah, I put a set of race tier in the mustang with all the tools, and jack for a couple of season but that got old, I'm getting too old for that Rodeo. I had my first "arrive and Drive" event a few...

    I just purchased an open car hauler so I'm trailering my mustang to the track. I have a C5 with a hitch and built a Harbor Freight trailer tire & Tool trunk trailer. I thought it was pretty cool! The trailer build is documented HERE

    you can run 19x10 square no problem on an s550/650i do that on my other car. Have apex wheels and rotate front to back works perfect. (see full post)

    I believe SR Performance is American Muscle's in-house private label Chinese garbage shocks. As Nancy Reagan said, Just Say No.Koni Sport (aka Yellow) shocks are good for the price. When adjusting, don't leave them at the end of the range or...

    No, you do not need spacers until you move up to 19 x 11" Apex. That is why I chose this set up. You are limited to 295 30 19. The car would be faster with more tire, but I am not racing, just having fun. (see full post)

    Don't you have to run some spacers to run that tire set up? (see full post)

    This setup has run on 3 of our local TX cars with good success. It's similar to what Middleton does. Its a good start that calms down the chassis motions, has good grip and is fun and controllable with the power.Steeda dual rate springs...

    Myself and my track buddy have run ours hard for 4 years on track with the normal DCT factory fill level. I checked mine in year 2 to see if it was underfilled from the factory and it was good. GM has so many DCT procedures partly because it...
