    how much weight lowers a car?

    Considering most aftermarket springs have a much higher spring rate than stock, it's going to depend on the springs you get. Eibach Pro's have a lower spring rate than a set of drag springs and will bottom out a lot faster (F-150 1/2 ton versus F-250 3/4 ton). That said, it's gonna take a...

    Exhaust volume decibel ratings

    Does anyone know if there are any websites that have actual solid decibel level numbers for various exhaust systems? I've found a bunch with sound clips and whatnot, but no "solid" numbers. I know it's mostly a personal opinion about what sounds best, but I leave for work at 5 am every...

    Did you get your 30,000 mile checkup?

    I learned from experience that if it's on a checklist to be replaced at one of the "regular" checks, it's best to keep the receipts, even for something as stupid as an air filter. They can screw with your warantee if they want to be bastards about it. If you can't prove that you did something...

    window tint- california laws

    On most any car, the fronts are tinted to between 70 and 80% light penetration. Just roll your window down a little and look through and over. Fairly obvious. CA could care less about the back three windows - all of my cars are limo-tinted, and no hassles at all. Not a lot of cops will pull...

    Ventrua Cnty meets S.D. Cnty?!?!?!

    I'd be up for it once my '04 gets out of the shop with the new paint job. Live north of Santa Barbara, work in Ventura, and would be willing to drive a good distance on a weekend.

    Adjustable Struts for '04 GT

    Thanks, guys. The reason I'm going with the KYB's is the guy who's fixing my car (Got the estimate today - $9,900...insurance is wonderful!!!) can get them dirt cheap. He's a member of my "extended" family, so I'm getting a deal on those and the custom paintwork (Tribal patriotic flag - I'll...

    Adjustable Struts for '04 GT

    Yeah, I talked to the Ford parts guys today and since the PN's are the same for their struts, I figure I can use the KYB's, too. I guess they must have tweaked the spring rates or something. That's what I get for listening to a salesman at a tire place. Okay, next question - anyone using...

    Adjustable Struts for '04 GT

    Does anyone out there know a company that makes adjustable struts for the 2004 GT? My car's in the shop after a bit of an accident, and the owner of the place (Okay, me too) wants to find some adjustables for the front since the stock struts are banged up and need to be replaced. Anyone know...
