    Hell yea. You have a built rear why not just run some ET Streets with a skinny up front and cut 1.5 60's. NO reason to run a drag radial if you're not afraid to break anything and are willing to get a second set of wheels anyways.

    Squeaky Brakes after front-end work???

    Alright. thanks for the info, i'll have to do this tomorrow when im off work. If it doesn't work, ill removed the calipers and grease the slide pins to see if that will solve the problem.

    Weird problem

    Start with the least expensive solutions first. Change fuel filter and run some fuel injector cleaner through as well and see if it goes away.

    Rear Seat Delete owners please read

    Cody what kind of 60' times do you see with the Nittos? I always hear they are not the best DR for the track, but i wonder how big the difference is between them and the Mickey Thompsons or BFG's. If its alot, i might as well get the M/T DR's and mount them on my gf's v6 wheels for track nights.

    Squeaky Brakes after front-end work???

    Well, my car has the 13" Bullitt Brake Kit with the stock Motorcraft pads that came with it. I've had them on the GT for about 12k miles or so. The brakes never squealed or made any noise of any kind. Even took the calipers off a few times to do stuff and re-installed them with no issues...

    Who has installed a brake kit from BuyFordRacing.com?

    SDame here. Had to tighten them down fairly tight and no leaks and good brakes for the last 10-12k miles. But for some reason after getting my ball joints and outer tie-rods replaced the brakes started squeaking :shrug:

    2nd gear bogging

    How many miles on the car and when was the last time the plugs were changed?

    shock/strut adjustment question??

    You want the softest in the back so the weight transfer is ideal and the car squats and goes. You also want the front to be stiff so there isn't alot of nose dive in between shifts and it just gets up and goes. I plan to set mine this way as well when i go to the track next time to see if it...

    What is the black plastic box from the IAC to intake do?

    Wait Cody, so does that mean if i unplugged my iac while the car was running and it didnt die its time for a new IAC? My car has an idle that drops to like 400-500rpm's when coming to a stop and then hangs at 1100 rpms at times. Would that be my problem?

    Royal Purple...WOW!!

    I replaced my tranny fluid with Royal Purple about a month ago and its like butter now. less noise, shifts so much better, and got rid of the occassional grind on the 1-2 shift. Probably just because i needed to change the fluids anyways, but it worked for me and im leavin it in there.

I dont want to run that wide of a tire in the front but will go bigger when these wear out. BTW the lip protector stickout past the edge of the rim on...
