    Ford C Springs "Need your experience"

    I've had C springs for a few years now.... They are good springs, no complaints here. I would suggest cutting 1/2 to 1 full coil off the rears and getting better shocks. I noticed a little extra "bounce" from the rear after my install, so I promptly up graded to Bilstein's at all four corners...

    Replacing the AC compressor clutch

    What are the symptoms of a bad a/c compressor clutch? My a/c almost sounds like diesel (rattle) when it cycles on, but it still works good, cools the car just fine.

    Bumper/ Headlight Assembly got messsed the **** up, need help!!

    The cheap way out is to buy a grille reinforcement, as long as your bumper is in good shape it will save you some money by doing it yourself. Try this link for a reinforcement. Click Here. Just use a flat black spray paint so it won't stick out, because they come unpainted in the gray...

    window clunk

    Why wait until the warranty is gone? Get it done for free. Mine will cluck when it's down about 2/3rds of the way, but it's not loud and it only does it when I hit big bumps......:shrug: My radio is usually up too loud to even hear wind noise w/the window at 2/3rds.

    Lowered FRONT only

    Just get the "C" springs from frpp. They give a good "rack" effect, lowering the front more than the rear.

    And the experiment begins...

    That's cool, I think i might go with a twin toro combination. Can you just imagine the boost twin toro's would create? :shock:

    has anyone else had any problems with panhard bar after installation??

    I probably could have rotated my exhaust enough to keep it from banging, IF I had not over tightend my clamps and crushed the piping some.

    has anyone else had any problems with panhard bar after installation??

    My panhard hits in the same spot, I've tried all kinds of things to get it to stop banging. I did manage to bend the muffler hanger some, now I just have a rattle when I take off from a stop. I've been seriously thinking about a side exhaust for my '00 just so I won't have to deal with it anymore.

    Got a new engine and f***ed up 1 cylinder in 2 days...

    So they fixed it, you threw a bunch of mods on, it blew up and you took it back? Be alittle more specific about what mods you had or added. Is it supercharged? Why would they say the a/f was off?

    Need earplugs! Wheel bearings?

    Lasers...ummm. If it's a hub it should make more noise when you go around corners/curves at constant speeds. If it makes more noise during a right hand turn, then it will be your left hub. If you turn left and it makes more noise... you get the picture. Hubs run around $60-80 and...

    weird popping type noise

    Maybe a spring isolator has worn out, or even the top nut on your strut may not be tightned down all the way. A little pop like that can be almost anything in the front end. I would suggest you just jack your car up and try to tighten everything down you can and go from there.... Maybe even...

    Immediate Help Needed! Rotor Stuck

    Use a rubber mallet and pound the crap out em'. If you're careful use some wd-40/liquid wrench stuff first. Just make sure you clean everything up with brake cleaner afterwards and don't get it on your pads.

    something I've noticed today

    The production tolerances for the body can vary by as much as 1/4-1/2 of an inch on our cars. Sometimes you have to deal with it. As long as the alignment is good, the extra 1/2 finger thing could just be a cosmetic.
