    Ok I thought wrong. Good to know (see full post)
  • Spec on S197 is 100. S550 is 150. (see full post)

    Sounds like your "friend" at the dealership may be costing you more than he's saving you and likely put the lugnuts back on with an impact.Proper torque for an M14x1.5 lug nut is in the 125-150 range. I've been taking mine on and off for... (see full post)

    Why 100? Nothing wrong with 130 to 150 for the size studs we have. The spec torque for our wheels is 150 lbs (see full post)
  • Zellion_GT
    He says they were probably around 150 maybe a bit more. I just got an autocross on the 28th. I don’t wanna risk something happening. Tomorrow I take it back to ford to swap the top strut mounts. I’m gonna tell him to take off all the tires and... (see full post)

    If you care about more than sticking plastic decorative bits on your car then stop shopping at American Muscle. Please. (see full post)

    Looks like some track debris made a lap or two. You might pull the pad to see if anything is stuck to them, but I think other than that....merely a flesh wound (see full post)

    The GC hybrid coil over set with GT350 Stock DSC and dampers shaved 3 seconds off my time. I was on FP springs and different aero before I installed the GC set up.I would not use a DSC controller with that set up unless you want to program it... (see full post)

    OK, gonna swap the end links again and install the new brake line on the left front. Put the whole car up in the air again and flush the brakes with the brake fluid that I got from Summit Racing. Next day delivery without extra charges. Thanks... (see full post)

    Not for everyone, but this is what I have done in the past ( before trans pan change ) and now. Past, changed it about once every year or 6 track days. Since I installed a PPE trans pan I changed the fluid only after track day. Over the years I... (see full post)

    Honestly i believe they stuffed the design when they changed it as mentioned in the M6G link. The previous ends were more vertical such that the drop link joints sat in the middle of their range and the ends were bent further inwards away from... (see full post)

    With the base tuning, it will go slower. This is the aspect I'm calling garbage. Tuned in some reasonable manner, I've had a couple guys up to 3 seconds faster.The CAR wasn't 3 seconds faster. The car might have been 1/2 second faster. The big... (see full post)

    Welp! Just called BMR and the instructions were to put aftermarket end links on the inside of the bar like I had it previously. Sooo…I am still in search of my noise maker. (see full post)
  • Paul McWhiskey replied to the thread Suspension Banging.
    So you don’t think that there is no gain by flipping it? I am at that point of removing the mounts and end links. I really don’t want to waste my time.Thinking that I might try to confirm with BMR before I go any further. I sure would like to... (see full post)

    Have a read of this, i think it is up the right way. I also think the redesigned bar ends should be more vertical. You aren't the only one who has had issues with these bars... (see full post)

    I can barely feel the lip where it starts, but it is so slight that I can't be 100% sure whether it is a valley or outward ridge. I lean toward it being an inward valley.It is smoother than I expected when I saw it. (see full post)
