- stevbd replied to the thread Thoughts on "flow formed" wheels v. fully forged wheels for the track.I was referring to the load ratings and weights for flow formed vs forged vs forged “enduro line” for the same model and size of wheel.

- Paul McWhiskey replied to the thread Suspension Banging.Yes, my bar has three adjustment holes. I am more convinced this AM that I have it in upside down. Going to pull it and turn it over to see if that creates the clearance that I need. (see full post)
- Paul McWhiskey replied to the thread Suspension Banging.You are correct. Double checked my packing slip and receipt and according to it I received the SB043R kit. So the bar should be correct for my car. Going to flip as I believe that I installed it incorrectly. (see full post)
GAR944 replied to the thread Suspension Banging.Managed to get into the BMR site now i'm at home. There appear to be 2 types of bars, 3 hole and 4 hole. The major difference i can see is the angle of the ends of the bar. The standard 3 hole ends a parallel to each other side to side. The 4... (see full post)-
mwjscn replied to the thread Suspension Banging.It may be bar SB044 which is part of swaybar kit SB043R (SB044 Front & SB045 Rear). Definitely easy to confuse. (see full post)- Paul McWhiskey replied to the thread Suspension Banging.Yes. The way that I have it installed currently the ends are pointed slightly downward. By flipping the bar it will more closely resemble the photo in your post. Additionally, it will also reduce the angle of the ball joint on the lower end of... (see full post)
Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Ford Performance Track Handling Pack Help.Your friend just wanted to show you how strong his muscles are. Impressed? (see full post)- Paul McWhiskey replied to the thread Suspension Banging.Yes, everything was clocked properly. I think that today I will turn the bar over.

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Thoughts on "flow formed" wheels v. fully forged wheels for the track.Which specs should I be carefully analyzing, and by what standard? <---- I am not really sure that the specs would mean much to me. Can you educate me a little? (see full post)

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Suspension soft?.Does it drop 3 seconds off the lap time or not? "Complete garbage" would not do that. 3 seconds is like going from 200 tw to racing slicks. If the answer is not, makes no difference, then, well, ok, garbage. Is that the case?Is the GC set... (see full post)
- stevbd replied to the thread Thoughts on "flow formed" wheels v. fully forged wheels for the track.It’s often said that forged wheels are lighter and stronger, but I think more accurately they are lighter OR stronger. Check out the Apex specs carefully, plus their Enduro line of forged wheels.Billy Johnson wrote an interesting article a... (see full post)
1 old racer replied to the thread Ford Performance Track Handling Pack Help.150 good, 200 bad. Personally I woild change them out. The fronts are easy. The rears and more involved. Lots of how too on youtube on how to do it. (see full post)
Zellion_GT replied to the thread Ford Performance Track Handling Pack Help.I thinkkkkkk it was like 150-200 region. The one who helped take off my wheel was using the heavy duty cordless Milwaukee impact gun on setting 3 and all but the security lug was finally able to come off. The security lug, we needed a 3ft ratchet... (see full post)

1 old racer replied to the thread Ford Performance Track Handling Pack Help.What did they torque them to? And what did they re-torque them to when they reinstalled the wheel? I would replace them since you know they were compromised. And may I suggest ARP studs, I have been using them for as long as I can remember(+=45... (see full post)

Zellion_GT replied to the thread Ford Performance Track Handling Pack Help.Well now u got me worried and stressing. My next autocross in the 28th so if I need to replace the studs let me know.
