Well my Texas friend says all the people who move from Californiastan because of their bad policies then immediately vote in their new state for people in favor of the same policies they just ran away from.

People sometimes do that to me no matter what car I drive. Why do you think it is a "V8 Mustang" thing? I doubt most people can tell a V8 Mustang from an Ecoboost. But the devil in me says your solution is to drive faster :devil:

It's all a question of how much you want to/can pay verses how fast you want to go. As I don't know the prices in Australia, that is impossible for me to judge. Lets start with camber. I was running max camber with my suspension which was -2.7 F/-2.0 R. Tire wear told me more camber in front...

Yeah -3.5 front and -2.5 rear sounds about right to me for hard use. Maybe max of -3 in the rear. I am wondering what hardware you are using that will even get you to -3.8. I wouldn't take it all back to stock settings for street use unless you never plan to drive it hard. I mean you have...

The fronts do 90% of the work so changing the rears is mostly cosmetic. If you want actually better braking look at better pads, rotors, and THEN full on big brake kits. But plenty of track Mustangs running just the PP spec/size front & rear brakes. Didn't the Mach 1 also use them rather than...

We have a 4 door Mustang now. And as I recall the Mustang Mach-E sales have dropped off a cliff. Is this just copying the suggestion that the new Camaro would be a 4 door? I can't recall many threads on this Mustang fan forum asking for a 4 door Mustang. So who is it intended for if not...

I would look at 275/40 as well. A little minor diameter difference is not a big deal. 275's often have better tire selection and are cheaper. Especially when running a 9.5" wheel instead of 10", as 285 is right at the max size for a 9.5" wheel. . Updating my list of 18x10s, some of the ones...

Yeah I have never gotten the track insurance. I suspect it is one of those cases where if you need it, they work hard to figure out a way not to pay up. Plus I figure for some people, it encourages them to drive over their head.

SVE Drifts in 18x10 (+35) are pretty cheap. Apex EC-7 (+43) are not so cheap, and you probably will want to run a 5mm spacer. I hear even the Enkei PF01 fits in a 18x10.5 (+38) but that is maybe pushing it (you might need 2+ degress of camber to tuck them in, and maybe a front spacer) While...

Yeah my initial though in seeing this tread is never let you wife see this or any track budget you put together. If she asks, distract her by asking how much she spends on shoes and clothes. A related questions is how much did you spend for your Sports/Sporty Car? How much value do you get...

I think the flow formed LMR SVE wheels are hard to beat for the money. 19x10 is the easy button. I don't see the point is going narrower (the Mustang is relatively big and heavy and needs a pretty big tire), but going wider usually requires more work. 19's are generally LIGHTER AND CHEAPER...

"When you spin, both feet in" used to be the rule. Even with an auto, I would think getting on the brakes would reduce the rolling backwards issue. Plus a car that is left to roll after a spin can often shoot rather unexpectedly to one direction or the other as it slows and the tires regain...

I would talk to Steeda. But in general I wouldn't run a front (or rear) only bar that is bought as (intended for use as) a set. If I wanted to tighten up the car, if would just adjust them to stiff/soft. The rates from stock to aftermarket bars can be very different such that they don't mix...

BC Racing makes a wide range of options. Is the bad reputation for just the (probably best selling) cheapest possible option set to the lowest possible ride height?

Isn't the biggest problem with the Darkhorse/650 a lack of feedback? Seems like it gets a lot of complaints about zero (or negative) steering feel. And occasional complaints about the brake by wire not having good feel. Sure it puts up good numbers, but how much of that is due to the super...
