I didn't read all 7 pages of your thread, so I didn't know you made a buy. Congrats. It looks sweet. Hey, you have my wheels! If those tires are the P Zero Nero all season, be aware that the wet traction isn't great. I've found that dry traction is fine. Snow traction is also supposed to...

Hey Anthony. In the summer of '18, I was in the market for a new Mustang. I test drove a '17 GT and several '19 GT's and Ecoboosts. I was in the market for a new convertible. I won't limit what I learned to just what you're looking at right now in case you decide to not get either of these...

Thanks guys. Looks like the approach is - don't mess with offset at all if you aren't willing to make other adjustments. That answers my concern. It's interesting that offset relative to steering and handling is seldom discussed, from what I've seen, when wheel swaps are talked about in...

I'm adding a lighter wheelset (18x8 OZ wheels (likely) with 235/50 Pilot Sport 4S - dropping between 9 to 11 pounds per corner over my stock setup). My stock wheels and tires are the same size as the lighter set above, and my stock wheels have a +40 mm offset. The OZ wheels are available in...

I hate touch screens. I inadvertently posted before being finished - here's the rest of my post: As a side bar, I saw the following video where the guy shows a 5% loss on a dyno due to wheels. What isn't accounted for is that the front wheels suck up energy too, so the loss is really about...

I've been looking aft upgrading my 2019 ecoboost brakes and wheels. What I really am after is more rubber for spirited driving on curvy country roads than the 235/50-18 P Zero Neros provide. My initial goal was to achieve 255/40-19 like the eco PP using a 19x9 wheel. But I have changed my...

...and the reverb you get beneath an overpass...

In service lugs will experience side loads, applied and removed repeatedly when driving. The repetitive loads in line with the lug axis cause the lugs to repeatedly stretch and then contract. This cycling of tension and loss of tension can cause a lug nut to work loose. To prevent that...

Thanks for the info, shogun32. Thanks for the help guys. But I need just a bit more hand holding... I looked through the links Shogun32 sent, and the factory info the suppliers use list what looks like all of the different parts of the various brake set-ups with all the same graphics and...

Shogun32 - I recognized that CJ doesn't make sense. They appear to conflict with themselves in their responses. I'm just trying to nail things down so I don't go through a hassle when it's installation time. Vicr - I was looking at Wilwood. Their website says their 6 pot calipers are...

Yep, the rear headroom is tolerable top up or down. I switched to the Eco convertible from a '72 TR6 convertible which I drove for 35 years. The TR had a full box frame. Even so, it flexed a good bit which made it comfortable, but the flex did not seem to adversely affect handling (much)...

Thanks. The lines for Eco applications come with the Ford Performance kit. If I recall correctly, it was Vorshlag that identified a problem with front/rear proportioning. I called Ford Performance and asked if there were any issues with proportioning or fluid volume and they said no, that the...

Thanks for responding. I haven't settled on wheels yet and wasn't planning on pulling the trigger until late winter. I have my eye on a PP GT convertible, hoping for a mid-winter price drop. I'm real happy with my base Eco convertible, and will do some mods to it if I don't get the GT. Can...

Thanks for the responses, guys. CJ Pony responses to whether they will fit an Eco with larger wheels seems all over the place to me. Here are three examples: Question: "Do these work with a manual 2018 Ecoboost Premium (non PP)? I have big enough wheels." Answer: "No they do not."...

I have a 2019 base eco convertible, and want to install the Ford Performance M-2300-V front Brembo kit (as I understand, the same rotors and calipers as the GT PP 1). The Ford Performance website leads me to believe the M-2300-V Brembo kit will fit my base ecoboost if I also install their...

A couple of tidbits you might find interesting: - In my '19 ecoboost at highway speeds, I get better mileage with the top down, indicating it's more aero in that configuration. So, if you're thinking aero as it relates to performance, top down might be the choice. Of course this could change...
