    Lowering your car by cutting the stock springs

    I've been driving around with my drag springs cut 2.5 coils for a while now no problem... On lowering springs though, you don't really want to remove more than a full coil, that's when you'll start changing the spring rates. on the rear springs, the part that you cut is just the upper...

    T-Handles Comfortable?

    guess i'll have the dissenting opinion...I hated my hurst T-handle...made it very akward, esp. at the track. Went back to a hurst ball and wont ever use a T-handle again!

    Question about a K&N Air Charger kit on my Mach 1

    don't be afraid of it...good choice, and at least the previous owner put the stock piece in the trunk when he got rid of his car!

    Brake line cut

    yes they are ripping you off! When I had a '97 GT I hit a pot hole pretty hard and knocked my exhaust into my brake line and broke it. I took it to a brake shop and they fabbed up a new section and put everything back together in an hour...$60 for the labor and $10 for the part

    Quad Shocks

    well they are supposed to prevent a certain amount of axle bind...I wouldn't suggest removing them unless you got a set of adj. upper control arms. What you can do is a simple road test. Remove the quad shocks and drive the car around with "spirited" intentions. If the car feels better (ie...

    H&R SuperSport Springs & Mach1 struts/shocks?

    okay maybe not blow...that's just my experience!! I would expect a much bouncier ride thought. The Mach shocks/struts are not valved for a 2" drop and that progressive spring rate. Do yourself a favor and get a set of adj. shocks/struts, then you should have a smooth handling car. that...

    ABS light

    it's really not that big of a deal, it indicates your ABS system is inoperative...you may have a faulty sensor. Sometimes the sensors will become dirty for one reason or another...if the light turns on when you start your car and does not extinguish, shut the car off, let it sit for a minute or...
