    5 lug / suspension swap progress

    What I like to do is drive the front up on ramps and level the rear with jackstands under the axle. Then get under there and torque everything up.

    5 lug / suspension swap progress

    I would not worry about measurement until you drive the car for a bit and let eveything take a set. Plus due to the build quality of these cars, I doubt they will ever be exactially the same. Before you tighten the A arm bolts, I would roll the car back and forth and bounce it a few times.

    5 lug / suspension swap progress

    I have Steed Sport springs and Tokico Illumina struts. I didn't do a before measurement but it looke like it dropped about 1 inch. I need to order a set of lower control arms, I noticed the bushings are cracking.

    5 lug / suspension swap progress

    I think our cars were twins and separated at birth. With the exception of the caliper color. I really thought about going with the red calipers, but the regular ones won out in the end. I also kind of like the plain Mach I calipers. Look!

    Maybe a bad bolt? Just get them tight enough that they don't leak.

    Did it dcrew in easily by hand? According to the FMS catalog your 10th Anniversary calipers require coarse pitch banjo bolts. Did you ues fine pitch bolts?

    JB Weld wont work for that. It will just fall off and then you will have another chunk of something flying around in you cylinder. I once saw a cylinder head that a 1/4" nut got into. The whole combustion chamber was dent all to heII and there was a perfect hex hole punched through to the...

    Is the chip inside the sealing ring on the head gasket? Is it above where the top ring rides? If it's inside the headgasket seal and the ring is below it, it might be possible to run it that way.

    interchangability of control arms 89-99

    You can use them, but as Shakerhood said they will increase the front track width by over an inch per side. I think some racers do it to get some major negative camber. If you do it, go for the 03-04 Cobra arms. They are cut for a lot more tire clearance to provide a tighter turning radius.

    Cobra brake install done!!

    I used low gloss engine paint to take the heat. I just cleaned them with brake cleaner and masked off where the pads ride then sprayed them with two coats of paint.

    A 245 or 255 tire would look better.

    My dog was 16 weeks old when I got him, he had never seen a crate. The crate may of worked if it was started at 6 weeks or so.

    93 cobra 5 lug conversion?

    Here's a pic of my car with an 03 Cobra wheel, 275-40-17 tire and 95 spindles. When the pic was taken the brake rotor was not on the car, just the hub. So add 3/16" to it.

    I need advice on car insurance

    I got it done at a local shop that only sold classic cars, hot rods and muscle cars. They had a real GT40 when I was in there. They took pictures, and gave a print out of the cars condition, options and modifications. I actually thought $50 was expensive at the time.
