Stan Whitney replied to the thread S550 Budget rain/street tire.Not sure if the price will be budget friendly, but the Conti ECS 02 is proven killer rain track and autocross tire.

My 555G2 street tires need replacing and I’m looking for modern recommendations. Front 285/35/19 and rear 305/30/19 (or 305/35/19).These tires will be driven <1,000 miles per year. Just Sunday drives around town plus driving to the track. They...- 665.0coupe replied to the thread Spindle Nut Installation and Torque.He's not torquing it to 150ft-lbs. He's saying that it takes 150ft-lbs of torque to thread the nut on the spindle. This is before it is threaded on far enough to start the torque sequence. (see full post)
- JAJ replied to the thread Spindle Nut Installation and Torque.I'm going to start my reply with a question... why are you torquing to 150ft-lbs?The Ford Maintenance Manual for S550 Mustang that I have says:NOTE: Apply the brake to keep the halfshaft from rotating. Install the new spindle nut. Torque... (see full post)

Bill Pemberton replied to the thread GLoc pad question.Race pads are going to be noisy , but are you looking for a more street/autocross type usage? I would contact Tim at OPMustang but I know when I ran 12s up front and 8s in the rear I did not get much noise , but he might even suggest a 10/8 mix... (see full post)
Rodpwnz replied to the thread S650 Cliff II.Hmmm S550 loop is very similar in regards to the purple trans cooler hard lines and the front 7A095A cooler. I was going to explain it here via typing, but felt it would be easier to explain my understanding and my advice via screen recording... (see full post)-
