    Cobra brakes?

    i got mine on ebay with banjo bolts (coarse thread and fine) for $80 shipped, i didn't realize they came with the bolts until i already ordered them from buyfordracing too so now i have extras

    Cobra brakes?

    i'm glad i did the cobra upgrade, but for normal driving i have not noticed any stop distance reduction. i did a 60 to 0 test on the stock brakes (minimal pad left) and then tried it again after i installed the new brakes and lost 3 car lenghts (longer distance) but that wasn't a fair test...

    Cobra brakes?

    +1 for buyfordracing. i put mine on about 700 miles ago and liking it. definately get stainless lines (i don't think the cobra brakes themself are any better than the stock gt's but but the ss lines definately improve the feel)

    Thinking Bout Painting My Calipers, Suggest a Color

    i've got red on mine and love it. agreed with the cobra upgrade if you have the cash. i just put mine on and am happy with it. i'd say paint the calipers red if you want it to look sporty or black if you just want to clean up the look. i'd stay away from silver on a silver car/chrome wheel

    Awful suspension noise

    check the inner tie-rods, my car is popping like that too, especially when i turn the wheel side to side when i'm parked but some while driving too

    Ball joint?

    think that's my same problem...i don't have all the other fancy set up like you yet, but my tie-rods are pretty worn down. think it's the inner causing the problem

    exhaust hitting rear end

    +1 for flstang65, my exhaust was hitting my rear control arm, i have a bolt up slp cat back so there are lots of places to adjust and get the right fit, if you have a ball and socket system it may have just worked loose or a hanger my be busted or something... but i doubt you are hitting the...

    Unusual exhaust question

    i have slp's in my car which are pretty loud but i covered my entire car with 120 sq ft of raammat bxt and about 5 yards of ensolight foam. paid about 330 for all of that and put it in myself... it made a huge difference on in-cab exhaust and road noise. so if you like the sound of your...

    question about steeda bumpsteer kits

    so i'm sure someone will make fun of me for asking this question, but does the bumpsteer kit replace the tie-rods completely? just take the stock ones off and replace them with the steeda kit? it looks like it's just the outer tie-rod but I'm pretty sure my inner tie-rods are worn out, i have a...

    Popping over sharp bumps?

    might be a different pop than what i'm thinking of, but my tie-rods pop and creak every now and then under turns. at least i think it's my tie-rods, i'm actually trying to find out other causes...that's why i cam across this one. just noticed this was a fairly old post so if you have figured...

    Tokico HP's with 2" drop Question?

    pro-kit lowered mine about 1.5 which is what they say it should, but i'm not running any isolators either.

    Tokico HP's with 2" drop Question?

    glad i read this thread, i'm looking for new shocks/struts too and was leaning towards the hp's too, but didn't know if they were a stock replacement or if they work with lowered cars. stock struts are bottomed out with the lowering springs and i'm tired of the poor ride quality

    Which wheels

    i vote fr's too. i love mine, and i don't think they are pain to clean, i guess maybe more tideous than bullets but they aren't like a mesh wheel or anything, nothing difficult. either would look really good though

    just bought an 03 GT, need advice.

    200 for flows is a fair deal, but if you are wanting the performance and sound do the full cat back. stock gt exhaust is kinked and air flow is not as good as a mandral bent tube. i'd spend the extra money to get a full cat back. I also vote not to paint the car, you either have to basically...

    Getting Frustrated with Latemodel Restoration

    i'll say on their behalf i doubt they knew... hopefully. i ordered my wheels/tires from them and everything was perfect. i thought maybe one of the wheels was out of balance and i called them expecting to have to argue for them to refund or pay so i could take it to a shop. without even...

    Vibration in the Steering

    i have the same problem, around 40-50 mph, had the wheels checked all is perfect as far as alignment/weights. i know my tie rods are going, they pop every now and then and i feel like that might be the problem with mine. but what is weird is i didn't much notice it with my stock 17" bullet...

    Cobra brake question

    they should paint up just as easy either way. if you can before you install them have them powder coated, that will look a lot cleaner and won't mess up and flake. i just used calliper paint on my stock breaks and it looked great for a while, but with all the wheel cleaner and heat, even the...
