  • Hey, thanks for the feedback. Yes, the bonded bushing on the front bar. I was in the process of removing those before I decided to go new. At ground level, I had to apply pressure (resistance from the bonded bushing) to get the stock end links... (see full post)

    Another simple question the 2 piece factory lug nuts can be a pain not to mention I would like to match the black wheel anybody have any recommendations on lug nuts? Any thoughts closed end or open end. (see full post)
  • Sorry for the slow response, I think @BackInBlack hit it about right. What do mean you didn’t take off the bonded stock bushings? Are you talking about the front bar? I think Ford did that to avoid squeaking or something. I didn’t like how it at... (see full post)

    With multiple turns, it's more a case of muscle memory. If you are setting up for a tight turn you know you are grabbing the wheel about 45° or more above your usual hold position. As you feed the wheel back from one you step your hands around... (see full post)

  • Weeelllll, after a low turnout on this thread, and tons of research (that started long before I made this post), I decided to get the 5490-A sway bar kit for the LS. Worst possible thing that could happen is what, don't like the rear?? I'm... (see full post)

    Blackhawk is a little place, but it's a challenging track that asks a lot of the car. Before it was repaved is was very good for simulating a street course. I don't know if that's praise, but it was useful.There's a little more to it than... (see full post)

    Thank you. Yes it is Blackhawk Farms and my lap times were somewhat respectable. There were definitely more capable cars and more experienced drivers, but it seemed that many weren't driving their cars very hard. Being so new, I'm not sure... (see full post)

    Thank you for the feedback. This was my first time driving with a harness which allowed me to relax my hands a bit on the steering wheel, but it's still a habit I need to break further. Your points about holding too tight and the corresponding... (see full post)

    I'm going to link my lap to a similarly tight track i have driven. I have a brake pressure bar on the left side of the display. Hadn't worked out how to map it to the brake beside the throttle trace at that point but watch it at slow speed and... (see full post)
  • stevbd replied to the thread S550 Feedback request.
    I don’t know that track personally but if that is Blackhawk farms, then just by comparing your video to the old discontinued lap time thread, it looks like you just threw down one of the fastest laps on here. Very nice driving, something tells me... (see full post)

    If you do upgrade, make sure you compare the timing mark index compared to your stock crank gear before your install it. I read on a forum (could have been here, maybe M6G) of people ending up with Boundary gears with the timing mark off by... (see full post)
