Rodpwnz replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.Yes of course, but I’m wondering if there will be a minimum ride height, and if that ride height will be lifted, stock level or lower without any shims.Aka what is the ride height with max lowering/ no shims and 400LB springs or similar?

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.Isn't the AJ kit adjustable for height?"The kit will contain the CNC machined lower perch, the lower perch shims according to your desired ride height selection and the upper perch for your selected CC plate with new bearing."

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Mach 1 Track Build & Dark Horse Overheating + Trans Failures – Need Proven Cooling Setup.For the S650, Mishimoto does not make a 52mm radiator. 42mm is the thickest core, and not really an upgrade over the stock Dark Horse radiator.Now that I know that there is a PWR dual pass radiator that fits without fabrication, I am going to...

bnight replied to the thread Mach 1 Track Build & Dark Horse Overheating + Trans Failures – Need Proven Cooling Setup.There tons of other radiators that will do just the same job I recently order the Mishimoto Ultimate Bundle for my car (Mishimoto Radiator 52 mm+Oil Cooler+Aluminium Coolant Tank) to take care of this heating issues. But there a lot of very... (see full post)- DaveW replied to the thread SN95 RinerAutomotive's CAM-T Mustang.Autocross week is so cool!DaveW (see full post)

Bill Pemberton replied to the thread Tire fitment on front of GT350.I would wait till you get a few more folks to chime in as the guys I know who got the 325s on there seemed to have done even more mods than most. Plenty of guys got the 315s under the fenders and though it has been a bit since I had my 350 I do... (see full post)
GTP replied to the thread Tire fitment on front of GT350.Well, I am running your same wheel/spacer setup with Cup2s 315, and I don't have your +3/4" wider fenders. So I predict it will work for you.Also, be sure to check strut to tire clearance up front. Mine is only 5mm. No rub evidence. Also check... (see full post)-
GTP replied to the thread Advice Reading Rotors After Runs: Do My Brakes Check Out?.I can never achieve the specified +45deg angle. I just put my jack handle over my strongest 1/2" breaker bar and tighten as hard as I can. (I cracked the head of a breaker bar once.) I asked a Ford tech and his answer was "as hard as you can"...

- stevbd replied to the thread Building my Boss 302 to meet or exceed newer track mustangs.Agree with all of the above. A good coilover suspension with stiffer springs and really good dampers will be transformative, especially combined with 305 square setup tires. I think that’s your low hanging fruit if you keep the boss. (see full post)

GTP replied to the thread Advice on camber setting for track.@GAR944 that's what I thought you meant, i.e. throwing around numbers that only make sense when both people use the same "assumptions".That is why I think it is best to quote the toe-in by angle, and to declare "total toe" (L+R). Because we all... (see full post)

bnight replied to the thread Advice on camber setting for track.overall you shouldn't overthink your alignment. For me -1.2 mm is almost the same as -0.12 toe. So What metric you use is not that important. Regarding rims sure they do play a role which is why most motorsport alignment is done with rims off... (see full post)

Rodpwnz replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.Anyone here have AJ's kit on the car? What is your spring rate and ride height and/or fender/wheel gap for the fronts?Anyone have helper springs with the AJ kit too?Wondering if the car will get lifted with the 400LB front springs - I quite...

honeybadger replied to the thread S550 Honey Badger GT350 Build.While I wait around for my shoulder to heal, I’ve been playing with cad. My goal is have a side skirt that covers rear wheel poke, integrates the exhaust exit and better seals the floor.Will pair with wider fenders of course. Starting here... (see full post)
