As someone with extremely limited knowledge in suspension, what would you recommend for DD and occasional track (lapping) duty? I don't really like to dabble with settings post install. I have progressive springs only right now.
I have a 175+ (I don't remember exactly) snowboard that I transport in my Mustang. The snowboard fits perfectly fine in the trunk with 1 rear seat down and does not reach the front seat.
As for having it inside, just buy a snowboard bag. They are very sturdy and your board won't ruin the...
I was actually going to mention this too. There are like 3 tires available in 285/40/18 which is the closest size to stock for a 10" rim (and they are not cheap). I will be going with 275/40/18 just to keep it easier on the wallet.
As far as road noise, I can't hear anything other than my...
I'm in the same boat about tires, but don't have competition to look out for. I picked up a set of 18x10 WedsSports for a good price, so now I'm looking for tires. My eye is currently on Indy 500's value wise, but I'm open to other options.
Does anyone know where Motorcraft OEM parts are manufactured for our cars? Specifically I'd like to know about GT front brakes.
I'm being charged duties on the brakes that I bought and I would like to think that Motorcraft is manufactured in North America, so the duty fee isn't correct and...
Or a slightly used gt take off set set for $50 less http://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-2016-2017-Mustang-GT-5-0-Coyote-Front-Brakes-Brake-Calipers-Rotors-13-75-in-/172472861266?hash=item28282f0252:g:U-YAAOSwjDZYbSxc&vxp=mtr
I'm buying 18x10 +36 WedsSport wheels this weekend.
I just found the take offs on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-Mustang-GT-LARGE-CALIPER-FRONT-BRAKE-TAKEOFF-SET-w-14-ROTOR-SET-/172476045316
But I also found take off Brembos for $660...
I see. Power stop actually has a track specific pad, but I'm not sure if that means squeeling brakes during daily driving. I'm not trying to be changing them every track day because the wheels I'm getting will need hub rings and that's just a hassle in itself.
Track pads...
Thank you for the post!
As I have mentioned, I went lapping once last year. I did 3-4 laps at a time in fear on brake fade. Ironically, I coasted on my brakes instead of braking later and harder, thus generating more heat. I think I can do 4-6 laps at a time without severe brake fade.
I...
Dumb question, but should I bother getting both front and rear or just buy a set of HPS fronts and keep rear stock?
HAWK or Power Stop is basically what I can pick from

Thank you for the info.
A friend of mine is using 285/40 on his 18x10 Enkei RPF1's and it's the closest thing to stock size and fills the wheel well nicely. Hopefully the amount of sidewall won't affect cornering.
Ground clearance is generally not an issue as my springs only give me a 1"...
Thanks for the input.
I have my eyes on a set of new Firehawk Indy 500s (285/40/18).
I just bumped into a set of wedsSport wheels, so might actually get the 18s.
I never considered camber plates. What camber do you guys run in the front and rear?
I just snagged a good deal on PP Recaros so...
I think I might have settled for which wheels to get. After contemplating and talking to others, I decided to go with 18s for dual duty (daily and track).
Specifically WedsSport SA-55M 18x10 +36 5x114.3
Can anyone confirm that these will fit offset wise?
My other question is the cb on these...
