    Front Coilovers With Eibach Pro Rear Springs Good Setup?

    Depends on the front spring rate. Do you know what they are? Pro-Kit rears are progressive 200-300 lb/in. http://www.miracerros.com/mustang/springs_calcs.htm

    New Los Angeles Member looking for shops!

    Check out Extreme Automotive in Canoga Park. Saul is a talented guy and installed several Maximum Motorsports parts on my car. The squeaking in front may be warn ball joints. You could replace the call joints, or upgrade to the 2003 Cobra Front Control arms which come with better ball joints...

    Vortech (non-aftercooled) @ 8psi Safe on DD '01 GT?

    Hi, I'm looking for some assurance or caution around throwing a complete Vortech Kit (V1, V2 or V3 non-aftercooled) on my car. Before replying, yes, I know running an aftercooler or intercooler would be safe-er. However, what I'm looking for is evidence that I should or should not be...

    Mustang Seats Options?

    I've got the Corbeau TRS's. They're a little scrunched on the passenger side, the cloth fades a bit in the sun, the the material and padding have held up over 40k miles.

    Starting Car for First Time in 2 Years

    I did this after my GT was sitting for about a year - I just dripped some Mobil 1 down the plug holes.. Just don't be alarmed when the exhaust smokes for about 10-15 min. Just take it for a drive and it'll stop :).

    LCA options

    I have the MM LCA's with the spherical bearings on both ends - I pulled off the quad shocks after install as they are basically made obsolete

    When do you guys change spark plugs?

    Autolite Coppers every 25k torqued to 16 lbs Dab a little anti-seize on the plug threads and put some dielectric grease on the top of the plug that contacts the coils:nice:.

    Spark Plug Recommendation for a 2001 GT

    You can get Autolite Coppers from Pep Boys for $1.80-ish per plug. I'm on my 3rd set of them and haven't had a problem. I change them in 25,000 mile intervals. Copper = hottest spark.

    2012 Mustang chassis numbers

    So the Brembo Brake Pack does have different sway bars, and springs? Probably different struts/shocks too then?

    2011 Mustang Brake Upgrades

    The rear only accounts for 15-20ish% of your stopping power, so nothing you do back there is going to be all that noticeable. I put Hawk HPS pads on my '01 GT w/ OEM Cobra kit (stock GT rears) and honestly, I don't like the initial bite from the pads. You really have to press the pedal down hard...

    Mustang Storage

    While I was having an affair with a 2003 Honda S2000 for 11 months, I had my '01 GT in the garage.. Took the battery out, pumped the tires up to 40 PSI, put a full tank of gas in to minimize rust at the top of the tank, and put in "Stabil". The S2000 was totaled two years ago (not my fault)...

    I haven't been here in awhile - 2001 GT & S2000 *Pics*

    Thanks for the comments guys. I got lucky that a small car hit me. If it was a truck it probably would have gone over me. I still have neck pain (accident was in January'08), but I feel fortunate that it wasn't anything worse. It put a smile on my face to start up the Mustang again and...

    I haven't been here in awhile - 2001 GT & S2000 *Pics*

    Hey, I haven't been on the boards in quite awhile, so figured I'd say hello. I had a 2003 S2000 for about a year until someone hit me from behind going 50mph (I was at a dead stop on hwy 101 in LA). So, after sitting in a garage under a cover for about a year, I brought the GT back to life...

    battery going dead or altenator

    Battery is an easy change - I just replaced mine at 65k. I brought the old one in to Kragen (just like autozone or pep boys). Any of those should have a stock replacement that is a direct fit that will be held down by the stock bracket. I paid 90 bucks and then got 10 bucks back for bringing in...

    Just installed Bilstein sport coilovers

    I'm running 350lbs hypercoils in front on Cobra R Bilsteins. I've got about 1.5 degree negative camber which gives it a more aggressive feel in quick turn ins. I wouldn't recommend that much , but if you can, go with around -0.5 to -1.0 degrees.

    Steeda LCA's

    Aluminum is lighter but more prone to breaking. I went to a shop to have them installed and the shop wouldn't install them. They showed me a set where the weld had broken (which can cause a serious accident on the street or track). If you hit a big pothole aluminum will be more prone to...

    How much will I pickup from plenum,TB, and power pipe?

    The dragon has an internal "vein" that guides airflow. Not saying that's the reason its better with F/I but it is a distinct difference. -W
