I finally got around to upgrading my pads today to Carbotech XP10 front and XP8 in the rear. After bedding them in all I can do is:D. I'm not sure what exactly I was expecting, but these hit the mark. I can't wait to see how they do at the track this weekend.
For those interested, here are...
Installing Steeda stainless brake lines today and all had gone well except the driver's side rear. The threads just don't match on the brake line itself. Swapped over the passenger side just to be sure, and it won't fit either.
Coming off of oem line it was a bit tighter than the other...
Simpson Undercover Racing Gloves - Size Medium

Out with the black, in with the green.
I can't claim it improved any lap times, or a shorter 60', but it was an overdue fluid change in a super simple kit.
Who else includes a 'custom' dip stick just for your Ford rear end? :headbang:
I have a JLT intake w/gloss black tube:
Old pic - it does not include the tube on the left, just the painted one:
I also have a set of Eibach Pro springs (no pics yet).
Make me an offer...
The FIRM in Starke is down to just the 3rd weekend a month now. In May that's the 21st/22nd for $215/day
Steeda also has their event @ Sebring on the May 27/28 for $325/day.
Anyone interested in either one? I'm leaning towards going back to the Firm and saving a little $$. ;)
I never had expectations of becoming a track day junkie, but they say admitting you have a problem..... Screw that, I'll stick with this addiction. ;)
I had the privilege of running at Sebring yesterday in some of the best weather we'll see all year in Florida. 60 degrees at the start, mid...
I bit the bullet and registered for a track day @ Sebring at the end of the month hosted by Performance Driving Group.
I haven't carried track insurance for any of my previous events but I think I will this time around. I was looking at Lockton Motorsports; are there better options?
That's right, two times the fun! lol
The Lakeland event will be the first Saturday of every month @ Mojo's, not just every other month.
The Clearwater event will continue to be every other month on Sundays @ Quaker Steak and Lube.

A friend of mine will be making these shortly. These are just some rough shots of a few test ponies. I do not have any information yet on pricing or availability other than he will be using the oem Ford emblem as a base to ensure 100% fitment and long term quality.
Feedback wanted! :)...
This isn't about "which brand tire to choose" - For my uses I'm hooked on the the PSS. In that light, I got a great deal on some basically new take offs, but they aren't in the ideal size I wanted but I have 3 different size wheels to choose from to mount them on.
Wheels:
19x9
19x10
19x11...
