    Best way to change springs?

    Take the front springs to a spring shop and have them compressed and banded. lowering spring compressors are dangerous as I had to "rig" mine to fit in the coils. The spring shop will band them, you stick them in the control arms, jack it up and cut the bands. Easy frashisy! Rear is simple...

    Lowering A 93 Mustang Gt??????????????

    I just put some springs on my car (93 Cobra) and within two weeks, my Left tire is warn on the inside. I have dropped two SN-95's and had no camber problems, but I can literally see the camber tilt on the fox body. I will be buying CC plates next. Oh, and a new set of front...

    My blinker blinks faster as I go faster???

    Sorry K, My GMC truck has the twist in bulbs and I have to buy new connectors because the light bulbs were stuck in the socket. The blinker blinks faster on one side than the other because there is a break in the circuit. That is the way to tell you a bulb is out. If a bulb is not out, then...

    Damn! Torque Boxes Cracked.......

    I was looking at the same box reenforcements as 50droptop today on ebay. Basically you will have to have some one weld in the new strips and that will mean removing your upper and lower control arms first. That alone can take 2-4 hours depending on your bolts. I just took my upper and lower...

    AOD Transmission Slippage

    As a former tranny mechanic, you need a rebuild. So instead of adding a $2500 auto, do a $1800 T-5 swap. Unless, your girly and just like the auto. :owned: Or: you could add a nice TCI auto with a high stall.

    Why does Ford exhaust sound the best ?

    Go to the track on "test and tune night". I can promise you that you can eaisily pick out the Mustang/cobra from any chev or mopar. I have always loved even the stock exhaust note of the mustang. It is just deep and throaty. Add a full new exhaust sys with no cats and it sounds totally...

    installling new cam and heads. What else?

    I am planning on upgrading my GT-40 heads to some aluminum heads, most likely tw heads. I am also going to put a medium lift cam (under .500) for some different power. I have Headman shorty headers, open h-pipe, and flows. Do I need to upgrade my fuel pump, injectors, TB, Mass, etc. I am just...

    normal for tranny to grind under a hard shift???

    My 93 t-5Z is grinding from 2-3 on high rpm's. At the track, that would be bad. But for now, I just wait a second for the tranny to spin down and then put it in third. Soon I am going to just add a TKO 500 and HD clutch system. Unfortunatly the wife is cinching the Cobra budget! I was told...

    clutch job done, whats squeaking??

    I knew the tranny was different, but I havent had it out yet. I may just have a TB problem here. I have 60K on the ODO and will soon be installing a HD clutch, Adj cable setup and will check the retainer. I have to have the trans serviced too. I may just get a TKO 500 setup since it would...

    Who else has the droopy door hinge syndrome?

    The doors have to be partially removed. If it is a 4 banger and has no electrical, just pop the pins out, remove the old bushings and take the door off. If it has electrical, just get an extra hand, put the door on a jack, and remove the pins. Reverse process and install new pins in same...

    clutch job done, whats squeaking??

    I have had this problem twice since changing multiple Mustang clutches. I find that on a T-5, you must replace the bearing retainer with a steel one. Then the bearing will no longer squeek as the aluminum stock retainers seem to go slightly out of round. So take that tranny back out and throw...

    Who else has the droopy door hinge syndrome?

    The bushings in the door pin are made of brass and have warn on your car. If you are mechanically inclined, you can change the bushings yourself. I just put a set of pins and bushings in my truck that had the droopy door. It is a PITA, but can be done at home with a hammer, a friend, and a few...

    How do I get this tranny to bell bolt off?

    They do make combo wrenches! get a 15mm, use the closed side and tap the wrench upward until it breaks loose. Then take it out however you want. 80 PSI on an impact is dangerous. Don't use that to put tires on!. I run mine up to 120 to remove bolts or lug nuts. If you can't get a bolt out...

    Lowering: 93 Cobra 1.5 inches fat -or- dumb

    I have a fairly stock 93 Cobra. I believe that the springs on the 93 Cobra are already lower than the Mustang version. My wheels are inward enough to go extra low. I just want to know if there is anyone who has dropped their fox Cobra.

    Do I need to grease the throwout bearing retainer?

    I agree as I have changed MANY Mustang clutches. I use a very light coat of grease, just enough to make the metal slippery. You definatly don't want grease flipping around at 7000 RPM.

    emergency brake

    For the front cable, use two pair or vice grips and turn the spring cam while while holding the lock step button out. Spin the spring and once it has turned halfway, put a vice grip on the upper spring/cable runner. Take the drum out and remove the cable inside. Underneath the car is...

    Really need help finding something. Cobra

    I am looking for a 93 Cobra LH wheel in ANY condition. I need it ASAP so if you know someone who has a bent rim from their 93, let me know. It HAS to be a Cobra wheel, not a reproduction. Chris 618-257-9813
