    what a pain in the ass!

    He bought drag radials so I figure performance had to be some part of the equation. Either way, I never said it would not work. It may seem like I am attacking you, but I realize it was not your car. You said it yourself that it was really hard to get them mounted on. The reason is obvious as BF...

    what a pain in the ass!

    If you measure a rim from lip to lip, they are about an inch and a half larger than the quoted size. This is because they are measure with respect to the bead. An 8 inch wheel is really about 9.6 inches wide from lip to lip which drum roll please... is 245mm. That also happens to be the...

    Falken Tires, any good ?

    Consumer Magazine rated those exact tires you are talking about as being crappy as the best bang for the buck of the last year. With a 420 treadwear is is obvious why they like them and why you guys think they are crap. You need to take a step back and realize they market in which they are...

    I know if I was going to build a tree house, I would not start with the smallest one in the yard.

    Just realized I installed my Slotted rotors backwards.

    I can not understand why Brembo would slot the rotors as they do. You want the slots to direct dust out off the rotor. It makes no sense to direct the leading edge into the center of the rotor to blow the dust into the center. Well, whatever the vanes are the important part anyway.

    MM Coilover kit... I went with it. What do u think

    Usually you want the rates alittle closer together. I would probably have run a 300 rear to match a 400 front. If you paid for the sport Bilsteins, then you might as well utilize the spring rates they are designed to use. Also, if you are looking into a torque arm/thrid link later down the road...

    Rear cobra braket kit M2300M $154 Front Cobra conversion M2300R $385 Total $539 Prices from John Bleakley Ford It really bothers me that places like StangSuspension.com will lie to people and tell them they need to buy cobra rear calipers. I think that is why people think they must...

    My vert handles like garbage, help please!

    Buy some decent lower control arms Griggs, Pro3i, MM, EvM. Sportline springs lower the car way too much. Those AGX's are not helping the equation. http://www.koni-na.com/presentations/mustang/

    Brembos Are On *Pics*

    I am going to have to agree with Bimmertech on this one, I would send those rotors back if the veins are as you say.

    Suspension Junk

    Maximum will groove BE5-6418-H1 shocks for you when you buy coilovers from them. Just buy the Bilsteins from the cheapest place you can find and send them to MM when you are ready. That said, I would also consider other choices like Koni SAs or Koni SA's and 30's in the rear before making your...
