I will be using some Goodyear F1 Supercar 3R's Memorial Day weekend for the first time on my 2021 GT500. This is my first time running the car at the track without the Michelin PS4's that came stock on the car. I have been running the PS4's for 5...

Zellion_GT reacted to 1 old racer's post in the thread Ford Performance Track Handling Pack Help with Like.would you be changing out the strut mount yourself? Since the car already has the F.P. springs on it, it would not be that difficult to do it with a buddy to help. Also since you only want to do it once buy a new set of camber plates. Steeda has...
