    Lowering the mach's nose.

    Some of your suspension goals that you described cannot be achieved with just a new set of springs. That being said, with the Ford C springs, you can expect the rear to drop as well as the front (although the front will drop more). Also, with all the aftermarket springs that you list you...

    Just installed Bilstein sport coilovers

    MM is awesome, but it seems like Griggs gets overlooked by the Stangnet crowd. IMO Griggs is, dare I say, too extreme for the stangnet crowd and most other mustang drivers. Not to say that MM stuff doesn't perform great either, but a fair amount of MM parts make minor compromises in areas like...

    Just installed Bilstein sport coilovers

    Sorry to not be clear. My intentions are only to discuss ideas and not to bash people who ask questions. No, I did not mean to imply that you were making blanket statements. Instead that comment was pointed at apexmotorsports or whoever told you about the part combo/sway bar idea. I have...

    MM Panhard bar & taipipe issues?

    MM has probably told you this already, but if tire clearance is your problem, wheel spacers are an option. May not keep the look you like, but it is an option. I went through a nightmare couple of months with this situation as well. You can read my story and solution here...

    Just installed Bilstein sport coilovers

    Only you can decide if it is worth it. Is the last nth degree of handling worth any cost to you? Also, how often will you be driving the car in such a nature that you will be noticing the last bit of grip that you picked up? Rear adjustable swaybars function to let you change the rear roll...

    Alignment with bumpsteer kit

    Provide that you have a drill, the basic install is no problem. But, without proper alignment, it's possible that you may end up causing more bumpsteer than you started with.

    Alignment with bumpsteer kit

    Regular Shop: No. But they would put the kit on for you and at least tell you it was properly aligned. Most people buy a bumpsteer gauge and do it themselves. This is a more advanced job to do.

    Keep getting code 153

    My car kept throwing the same code after I installed my catted H. To be clear here, I will always be referring to the pair of 02 sensors that the exhaust reaches prior to entering the cats: What I found to be the problem in my case was that the 02 sensor location on the H-Pipe I bought was...

    LCA's for street?

    +1 Aftermarket LCAs make a huge positive difference on road courses. The best LCA for handling is one that maintains a full range of designed articulation but does not flex out of the designed range of movement; the stock LCA only meets one of those criteria. 1. Yes 2. Unless in the...

    Can Bilstein Sports be used with

    I think in that combo you will find yourself to be overdamped.

    Blue fuzzy stuff on negative terminal..

    I never knew that sprite was basic. Always assumed it was acidic like coke - same carbonic acid equilibrium. Good to know.

    Creative minds needed for a suggestion

    If you are that worried about cornering performance to rule out putting an isolator on only one side, you will be doing far more damage by trying to wedge something in between spring coils (I think that is what you are describing with the hockey). Remember, by putting something solid between...

    supercharger gurus.....need advice

    One thing to think about that no one else has mentioned yet is your compression ratio. Remember that stock Machs run higher compression than GTs so it's not a good idea compare longevity claims vs boost pressure between the two stock bottom ends. I also want to supercharge my Mach, however I...

    Vibration Solution

    Yep, shocks are gone. Replace those and then let's work from there.

    Vibration Solution

    Be more specific on the kind of uneven wear along the inner edge of the front tires: 1)If the tire has patches of uneven wear along the inner edge, the your shocks are probably dead and you may also potentially be running too much camber. 2)If the tire is evenly worn-down along the inner edge...

    Need your opinion on struts!

    First off, the wear pattern you are describing is indacative of dead shocks. There are couple of issues to consider before you make any purchasing decisions: 1) If you put new shocks on (any set), you will still have the uneven wear on the tire. That damage has been done. It will remain...

    Mustang PBR Caliper Piston Dustboot Melted

    I thought I would provide some more evidence to everyone that the stock brakes on the Mustang Mach 1's and Cobra's are inadequate to get on the track with. Here are some pics of the front left caliper on my Mach 1 after 1 day at Road Atlanta (and it was a very light day). Notice the dustboots...

    Front end squeak Steering rack, or tie rod bushings?

    Both my mach and cobra squeaked/creaked. Ford put out a TSB for new steering rack bushings and mine are silent now.
