Bill Pemberton replied to the thread Did i go over board on a 15 in brake kit ?.Well, I also agree with my fellow old fart, Mr. Blacksheep, and please never consider wasting your money on a Watts Link. Ask Blacksheep about that as I am sure he will back me on that waste of money. Steeda or Ford, great advice to stick with...

- Skidmarc replied to the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach?.I've been following this thread. Quick question for y'all. Are the FRRP springs the same as those found on the 2014 GT track package? I've got the whole track package in the garage attic, I'd just like to know what I have. Thanks in advance! (see full post)
- Bullitt85 replied to the thread S550 Radiator ducting.Outstanding. We spoke previously but I’d still be interested in the updated version as well. Thanks ! (see full post)
5.2 liters of democracy replied to the thread S550 Radiator ducting.This was the kick in the pants I needed to finalize the updates I was making earlier this year. Sorry lots of moving parts in the last several months. I took measurements and have revised panels on the way to make sure fitment is perfect. More to... (see full post)- Firefighter46 replied to the thread S197 BackInBlack.BnB, I've just started my v6 to Coyote swap on my 13' base automatic. I have a full, palletized, running 14' Coyote with an MT82 that I bought from Cleveland Performance. The v6/automatic is about ready to be pulled and I'm doing the research on... (see full post)
GTP replied to the thread How often do you replace your seals or brake calipers and rotors? And or did you get sick of doing this and go to a bigger brake kit?.I switched to GT350 brakes and now have just the "usual challenges" (a good thing).There is a thread or two over at 6g about upgrading just the rear calipers. (see full post)- stevbd replied to the thread Did i go over board on a 15 in brake kit ?.I don’t think you’re going overboard to upgrade the base GT brakes on a 2014. But I agree with @blacksheep-1 that the ford brembo 4 piston 14” are a great middle ground upgrade. The 15” are heavier and there are lots of reports of a softer pedal... (see full post)

GTP replied to the thread S550 brake seal replacement - easy DIY or not?.^ This.The problem is that the rubber is not Viton.I talked to a s550 guy in the paddock about the rear calipers. We both experienced the dust boots tearing around the perimeter due to high heat. He had ESP for his car, and found that for... (see full post)
- Paul McWhiskey replied to the thread Suspension Banging.Ok, is anyone running Vorshlag plates with FP M-5300-W springs? (see full post)
blacksheep-1 replied to the thread Advice on camber setting for track.I think IMSA only allows us to run 3.5, and we'd like to get more if we could, you'll need plates and maybe cutting the shock tower. The 275 tire is way too small for these cars, try to get some 305s on it if you can (see full post)-
blacksheep-1 replied to the thread Did i go over board on a 15 in brake kit ?.Yes, IMO, the Brembo 14 inch Boss302 style are a relatively inexpensive race proven brake system. With regards to the suspension system, cutting the shock towers and camber plates are a must, Steeda is not my favorite, I'm more of a Ford... (see full post)
Guys just little curious what you all think. I have a mostly stock 2014 GT and ordered the SVE 15 inch brake kit. Thinking I might had gone a little over board on that and maybe money could be spent in a better place ? A buddy on the site here...
Know it's an old thread can start a new one if needed. Did a coyote swap from a donor 2013 in to a 2009. Its a dedicated track/autocross car that i use mostly for scca cp class. I have installed and wired all the 2013 abs components (module... (see full post)-

byronj replied to the thread Gloc R10 or R12 question?.Bill, I would order them pre bedded. But after much discussion with Danny about my street / track car at that time. He was the one that advised me to go with the 12/10 combo on the track and swap out to the RS-1 for street. I never have any... (see full post)
Junkyard Dog replied to the thread S550 Radiator ducting.That's kind of cool about the oil cooler, though, just staying around the thermostat setting. Talk about predictability. No worries about the oil temperature rising the longer you stay on track.That is one odd looking radiator. Was there a... (see full post)
