Where's the 25lb fender weight on verts?

 

[95.0Stang]

Front passenger side I think!

 

[caffinecobra]

All verts cobra or not 95-newer its in the passenger fender....after you remove that your only 125lbs heavier then a comparable coupe

 

[caffinecobra]

Ya, I had the same problem with bottoming out after removing it. All you need are two shorter bolts and it solved all of my problems. Nothing has to be custom made. Just get two shorter bolts that have the same thread and it will work.

Does it make a big difference removing it? As far as balance goes?

 

[95snoozer]

no


and you have to put a bracket back in the rear? mine is gone

 

[MontrealFive0]

my bolts are still in the dogbone, with busing like things. I take em out and just bolt em through the bracket??? If you could get me a picture of your bracket on, that would be really helpful. THanks

95 snoozer, I noticed a problem of the rearend banging on the bottom of the car when hitting little bumps because my car was lowered. That's why I had to put the bumper stopper on the top back on.

MontrealFive0, you should take one of those bolts out of the bushings. A hammer and WD40 will work fine. Take that bolt to a hardware store and have them find the type of thread. Get two more bolts with that type of thread that are only two inches long instead of humongous and some washers to fit those bolts. Then, you go to your rear end and take the bracket with the rubber piece on top of it and bolt it back to the rear end with the new hardware. Sorry no pictures while I'm at college.

this short belt, how much power does that free up? do you use it only for the track?

 

[TrueBlue95GT]

The short belt frees up around 10hp to the rear wheels. I wouldn't recommend using it on the street though. You have no more power steering.

 

[BlueOvalStangGT]

what size belt is it? do you put it on at the track or do you just drive w/o p/s? my a/c doesnt work anyways so how much could i get by bypassing just that till i get a new hose?
