Rodpwnz replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.Thank you - this is what I wanted to know.I would like the ability to fine tune front ride height and am thoroughly enjoying the current 1 inch lowering on my car. Would have loved to play with 1 inch, 0.5 inch and no lowering ride heights.AJ...

- TeeLew replied to the thread Advice on camber setting for track.The difference you're noticing is between the guys that are actually doing the alignment and the ones who have it done at a tire shop.If you're the one actually doing the alignment with string, then you really don't care what the actual toe...

ArizonaBOSS replied to the thread S550 How do you mark your tires?.These, specifically the Yellow one. I forgot where I was finding them individually.I'm writing on the outside walls of the tire, but typically just "run count" or sometimes location info. (see full post)- TeeLew replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.The spring rate you choose will effect the minimum you're able to reach. That becomes a limiting factor to how stiff you can make AJ's kit. I believe a 400# spring with no spacers gives you a similar-to-stock front ride height. There are a couple... (see full post)

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)
I have a squared wheel/tire setup and hope to document when and how I use each tire.I used this paint marker advertised as "high temperature" and "highly permanent" to mark each tire on the inside walls, but the markings were 90% worn after one...-
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"...
