    positive camber under cornering?

    I would try to find a shop the will verify you alinement for free if it has not been verified. also check for worn suspention components but I can't imagine anything could be worn if you car is an 04.

    Clunk sound coming from under dash?

    if it is happens just at start up in park it very well could be an exhaust clearance issue. then you powerbrake you are torquing the engine as well and that could be changign the exhaust location a bit as well. if the exhuast is banging on the tranny you should be able to see evidence of...

    Car Constantly Stalling!

    seems like if that were the case you would notice it under load as well but I might change it as it is cheap and it eliminates a varible. if it was restricted enough to give you a pressure loss who know it could be possible I guess. I can say that fuel pumps can cause wierd issues though. I...

    Car Constantly Stalling!

    sounds to me like you just need to start testing somethings. if it were voltage related pretty easy to figure out. battery can be load tested by a shop. we have place called the battery exhange around here and they will load test for free. I am sure you can find a place that sell batteries...

    what size is our stock door speakers?

    stock is 5x7 in the door and rear. the tweets are larger like 2 1/2 or 3. your best bet is just to buy a set of 6 1/2 separates and get an adapter plate IMO. unless you just want a fairly cheap repalcement. I would probaly stay 5x7 in the rear as they are just fill. cheap and easy. I...

    Which Subframe Connectors?

    the car just drives different. feels more solid. I still get some rattles on rough surfaces becuse my springs are stiff. mainley from the radio bezel and ac vents. that is my only real rattle issue. I can guaranty you if you do subframes and LCA's you will absolutly think you are driving...

    Mod motor newb...5.4 wider than 4.6 ?

    the benfit to gain ratio on a 5.4 swap in a gt is just not there IMO. I have don't tons of engine swaps in the past on different car and the little things you have to do to complete the swap always add up in time and $$$. 4.6 4v is what I would run if staying n/a. all the parts are availible...

    Couple of ??? about wheel/tire size!!

    you can stretch larger tires on to smaller rims. it does affect the sidewall and footprint of the tire though. that is why the manufactures give the recomended range. usually if you actually mesure the tire it will not be as wide on a 9" rim as it is on a 10" rim. it may not be alot though...

    e brake cable

    if you only have one cable coming through the floor they are wrong. mine is an 01 but there is only one and there is a part number for it as I had to replace it. one tip once you find it is make sure know how to use the tentioner in the ebrake handle. you rotate if forward and hold it in...

    Please look at this pic...

    1. make sure the belt is not stretched out all the way. if you belt becuse a bit to stetched there will not be propper tention and that can cause there to be noise at the tentioner. 2. make sure the bearings in the compressor are not going bad or the clutch itself is not going bad. 3...

    Which Subframe Connectors?

    I don't think a strut tower brace is really a must do mod fo the normal driver. it should be done after shocks, struts, subframes, springs, lca's, phb IMO unless you just want it in your engine compatment for looks. it would be one of the last suspention mods you should do IMO. as far as...

    Need help with tire sidewall aspect ratio

    255's will fit on the 8's. I would just stay at 45 series. if you go down to 40's series you will be putting extra miles on your car if you don't reflash for the correct revs per mile.

    I want some more drop up front. Question

    1. x2 balljoints (can create bumpsteer problems causing you to need a bumpsteer kit) 2. remove isolators (can cause noise) 3. cut springs (not the best thing to do but it is free) 4. new springs with correct drop (best approach as you can sell you current ones) 5. coilovers (expensive but...

    Ford 3.73s or Motive 3.90s, Are motive gears OK?

    yeah you would need a lift kit to run 26" wheels on a stang ha ha. I think the technical term for 26" rim would be "dub sies" I would not be suprised if someone has done it though after some of the crap I have seen on the internet.

    coil over kit??...

    coil over kit basically impoves the efficency of the spring location. you can run a lighter spring rate and still have the same mechanical advantage. from what I have read they say that a 200lb spring on a coilover setup is the equivenent of like a 800lb spring in the stock location so you can...

    Please post pics of your lowered 96-04 GT's

    I personally like the H&R's more than the other brands because they completely level out the cars stance. I have the supersports and love the drop but they are harsh on a rough road. to me looks wise they are the best performace oriented spring out there. not clearance issues or bottoming...

    Ford 3.73s or Motive 3.90s, Are motive gears OK?

    stock tire of a mustang is like 25.7? I had a much harder time setting up motives in the past than my FRPP. I would just run the FRPP. my .02 is run 4.10's. you are running a 1" larger tire than stock right now so 3.90's would be more like 3.80's anyway.

    Help.. too much spin!

    LCA's are a must. if you like cornering at all I would stay away from the uppers. they will bind your suspention articulation up. If you don't car about corners then you can run some uppers. It is hard to do a combo suspention. Anything you do stricktly for traction hurts you cornering...

    Couple of ??? about wheel/tire size!!

    this is very true. I can't remeber exactly but I think the only 315 18's I found were the pilots for like $350 a piece.
