    255/40/17....sidewall too small thin??????

    To have both, you either can change springs, cut springs, remove isolators, and/or install Steeda X2 balljoints without using their supplied spring spacer. Not all those are desirable in my book, but it can happen. Installing X2 ball joints and not using the spring spacers will drop you near...

    255/40/17....sidewall too small thin??????

    You will only get 1/2" of that 1" per side (off the centerline). So your Mustang will sit 1/2" lower and the fenderwell clearance will be 1/2" less. EDIT: I mean 1/2" more fenderwell clearance.

    Another Stalling Question...

    I know some Mach owners had trouble with stalling issues when they were installing certain CAI's. I would think that a dynotune from RWTD would have prevented any issues from whatever boltons you have installed though. :shrug: I'd say contact them and see what they think, everything I've heard...

    Engine knock after oil change start-up...is this normal???

    A couple things you can do to help, as mentioned put some oil in the filter first, I usually put near a quarter of a quart in the filter and not spill a drop putting it on, I add this oil to the filter before I even start changing the oil to allow the oil to soak into the filter element, then...

    DS vibration after installing MM LCA's...

    When I installed my lowers I did get a tad bit of vibrations that I didn't notice before hand. I thought it may have been the pinion angle since I had lowered it, so I bought the adjustable uppers. After tweeking the angle I found it had helped some but was not eliminated. Next step was to...

    NCSHP Stangs

    I remember in the 90's that they had brand new NC Mustang Patrol Cars with the 2-tone paint reversed and didn't want them so they acutioned them all off. I wanted one of those sooooo bad but at the time had no cash to do so. :(

    DS vibration after installing MM LCA's...

    My guess was the vibe was always there and they were being absorbed by the stock mushy soft rubber bushings. :shrug:

    KYB's Fitment issues!

    You can turn the quads around, a lot of people reverse the mounting to gain clearance for larger tires, maybe that would help your problem? :shrug:

    Transmission fluid question

    For the 3650 I'm having good luck with Motorcraft MERCON ATF #XT-2-QDX at 3.7L. I called Tremec and talked to John, he said do not use the Syncromesh (he did not mention RP Synco Max) because it swells the fiber material used in making the Synconizers in the 3650 transmission. He said...

    Extended balljoints question - calling all w/ Steeda X2s or equiv.

    Thanks man, I prefer the body style of your model Mustang a bit better than mine but overall I'm happy with what I have now. I can't help you much on the C-springs height but if you haven't seen it this thread might be able to give you some insite...

    Where is the mileage stored?

    What kind of cluster did you change out to? On the Autometer I understood just the small board was located to their cluster, surly Autometer didn't give me incorrect info? :rolleyes: :D

    Extended balljoints question - calling all w/ Steeda X2s or equiv.

    Ok, this may not help at all . . . . To me the question is, how much do you want it to drop? If you'd like the extra drop by leaving out the rings then I'd say do it. Leaving them out will give some more drop. I like the rake look myself but chose to drop the rear using adjustable control...

    Where is the mileage stored?

    You are correct, they are stored in the computer. All the guys that have changed their cluster out can vouch for this as their miles would have remained the same as they were before the new install.
