    Wheel Offset?

    Nice look! how are those on big brake packages? I'm still trying to figure out which way to jump when I'll buy a new set and so far only the GT500s seem to be the best bet for value and fitment.

    Wheel Offset?

    I'm not sure as far as the width of the tire itself but what I would do is look at websites that sell Mustang wheel/tire packages (like cruzinconcepts, latemodel restoration, cj pony parts) and see what they list their offset on their S197 wheels and that'll help you decide. Most combos are...

    Replacing only rear brake pads?

    Used to have those on my previous set of wheels. I miss them. They were really sticky and had excellent grip levels in the wet. They didn't seem to wear out too quickly either so that's definitely another plus.

    2010 GT vs 2011 Mustang V6

    Sounds like you got your answer in your type of driving. A lot of daily driving the 2011 gets the power, respect AND returns a great MPG value. Go with the '11 Sixer.

    supercharged 2010 v6

    +1 nothing is worse then setting up a nice corner just to fail miserably out the turn with inlift and a one wheel wonder burnout. That's totally uncool. Get the LSD and the gears while you're at it.

    Replacing only rear brake pads?

    +1 Do not mismatch your brake pads like that reason being if you add a performance brake pad to the rear and leave the front OEM you'll shift your braking bias to the rear of the car which could be dangerous if you trailbrake or brake into a corner. That'll add more oversteer to your turning...

    Florida or Arizona - best place to look for a Stang

    I've had great luck buying cars on and suggesting Autotrader to people. Seems like people who care about their cars sell and buy there. Not knowing your criteria for search I'd go with Arizona because of the sea salt issue if you buy a vehicle that is on the Florida Coast. Plus add the...

    Cleaned her up after sitting for 5 months...

    Heavy GT you have a really nice looking car with plenty of go in it I meant no disrespect with my comment. I see how you wouldn't want to drive it in those conditions but I have driven in some nasty stuff and I like doing that because of the practice that it gives you just a quirk of mine...

    Cleaned her up after sitting for 5 months...

    I'd still drive it and get plenty of drift practice though I haven't got the money invested you have in the looks department on my car. Just different schools of thought I guess.

    Same here but hey cars are meant to be driven really. 1 mile on the road > 1 minute in the garage.

    race shocks and struts

    I'm not so sure about getting 17s especially for some track work. 17s definitely won't fit 14in brakes and will end up giving you too thick of a sidewall which is bad for cornering. I really love their PF-01s they just came out but man I bet they cost an arm and a leg.

    race shocks and struts

    Enkei is a good brand so you can't really go wrong. Just make sure that whatever you get will clear big brakes. You may not mess with that right now but its good to know you have the option to do that. Trust me I hate looking at those stoptech boxes collecting dust because I can't swing the...

    race shocks and struts

    If you daily drive your car I wouldn't recommend getting HP+ pads because they are too aggressive for the street. They'll much up your stock rotors in a hurry and they grip well only when warmed up properly which is from high speed and prolonged stops not from daily driving.

    race shocks and struts

    Well it all depends on how serious and how deep are your pockets. If you have some serious cash to spend go with a GR40 setup and you'll love your Mustang like never before. If you are more on a budget the price on Roush Trak Pak suspension setup has come down significantly and is now a lot...

    When do payments start when you order a new car?

    One dealer told me the deposit for a special order was one thousand bucks that will be applied to your down payment when the car arrives. Not sure about getting it back if you say no though, I never asked.

    Changed from 16" Stock to 18" GT Wheels Need Help

    First of all welcome. Second do you have a picture of the wheel (or a link) to which wheels you are referring to? S197 GT Wheels should definitely fit on a S197 V6 Mustang without interfering with your brakes but not vice-versa. Perhaps you're hearing some rubbing from inside the fender to...

    General consensus- 19" or 20" on the GT?

    I personally like the look of the 19ins but from experience the tires are difficult to get a hold of so if you want something big I'd say go 20. I'm sticking with 18's as they are lighter then most 20's and you have ample choices for tire combinations.

    What happen to Bama Chips???

    Awesome! I'm glad to see Doug is alright! By any chance has he changed the way he tunes the cars? I got a JLT-II intake and tune when I first got the car over two years ago and I was wondering if he does things differently now and if I can take advantage of the experience he gained in the...

    Roush vs. Cervinis

    Personally too busy for me but it's definitely unique and has a certain aggressive look to it. That said I think the car will look leaps and bounds better when you ditch the stock 17in wheels and go for something that is staggered nicely and has the proper offset to fill in the gaps.

    Best CAI?

    It has been said before if you gotta get a cold air intake make sure you get a tune or you won't get hardly any effect from it. That said if you insist on keeping the car stock there are kits out there that can be upgraded later in case you change your mind. I believe the Roush CAI (which I...
