So I'm looking to buy some aftermarket wheels for my GT. I'm lowered on Ford Racing suspension. I've notice some topics on wheel offset and it seems that changing the wheel offset altering the position of the wheel in relation to the struts, and thereby changes the scrub radius. Obviously the...

So I'm posting this here because I thought you suspension guys might be able to give me advice. The advancetrac in this car is really becoming a nuisance for me. Finally got my suspension sorted and new tires, Lund tune.. the car rips and handles good- but the Advancetrac is ruining all my...

After changing out my JLT filter from the oiled to the dry filter, I notice my vacuum gauge is not as steady at idle. It drops about an inch and then goes back up, drops and goes back up. I checked to make sure the filter was really tight. Any concern here or is this normal/par for the course...

Question for JLT users. If I use the outerwear pre-filter, any decrease in airflow from it if I am using the S&B dry filter? I want something to protect it some from water and stuff and don't want decreased performance. Thanks.

What should I expect from low end torque in the GT? For instance, if you're in 2nd gear low RPMs (1500-2000) and mash the gas, are you getting wheelspin? Or does the engine bog and then take off? Should you get to a certain RPM before going WOT? Sometimes my car feels sluggish at low RPMs and...

Any BMR CB006 users that can comment on what they've experienced with this brace? Now that I've got my rear end sorted, I feel like I am noticing that the front end is looser feeling in comparison. Driving down the highway at 75-80+ I can feel the deflection in the front hitting bumps and...

Has anyone run into this? When I look at my driver side rear - it seems to have a bigger gap than the passenger side rear. Has this happened to anyone? Bushings have been clocked and camber is about the same on both sides. Car drives great just the wheel gaps look a little off. Wondering if this...

So I have a base GT and therefore I do not have drive modes. So, no wet mode. But I can turn off traction control, go into Advancetrac sport mode, or turn off Advancetrac completely. And of course I do have a "sport" mode with the shifter in S. My question is: what is the difference between...

So - in a few months I'm going to be shopping for new rims to put on my S550. I'm trying to decide whether to go 18s, 19s, 20s, how wide, and square vs staggered. This will be used for street/daily driving/spirited driving/limited track days. I was thinking about going 19x19.5" RTR Tech 7...

I notice at certain times when the road has undulations that the body of the car moves side to side a little too much for my liking. This is under normal driving when one side of the car moves up or down - it's just the chassis just rocks a little bit back/forth and gives a slight floaty...

I've been running a JLT CAI and Lund FF tune for about six months now. Recently I've noticed that I was getting a bit of surging. Sometimes I would let off the throttle and I'd get surging and rev hang. I decided to recheck my connections. Turns out I have put the MAF gasket (rubber seal...

The alignment printout I got recently shows that my rear toe is 0.15 and 0.10 left and right, respectively. Is this alright? Any chance that could cause any issues at high speeds? Will post alignment specs later but front toe is 0.00 and 0.00. Thank you guys.

I need some new tires for my stock 18" rims and so I found these tires from Firestone that had excellent reviews. This is my first summer tire so this may skew my impressions of it. They replaced the crap Pirelli all seasons which showed noticeably less grip after 5-10K miles. No burnouts no...

I finally got my Steeda billet rear shock mounts installed today. Also added along with Maximum Motorsports CC plates and new tires. I've been wanting to install the rear shock mounts for sometime in hopes of removing the oscillation bounce and binding I've been experiencing. Those of you that...

OK I am posing a question for those of you out there who may know. If I change caster, say when installing MM caster camber plates, would this affect my Steeda Bumpsteer kit? Say it's already been adjusted for my car and I am using slightly different alignment settings now ? Would I then have to...

Just ordered some Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires. Anyone running these that can comment on them? Thanks.

I'm pretty happy with my suspension setup but on a lot of the roads I have to go on - it's get a little harsh and honestly even though I have a great handling car, it's overkill. I'm thinking I'm some softer springs and shocks to add back in the compliance I need. Whenever I hit sharp bumps...

I took a drive this weekend to Richmond to see my brothers family and I noticed something about the car I didn't notice earlier. The rear feels very unsettled at certain times at high speeds. I noticed at speeds around 80 it feels very bouncy in the rear especially if the road was curved or...

Question: for those with the CB005. Does it cause the ride height in the rear to be slightly higher as in more wheel gap as opposed to without it? Thanks.

I didn't want to post this in wheels/tires section because I want to hear thoughts from you suspension gurus. This morning I got in my car and tire pressure had dropped to 30 psi due to the cold weather. So using my air pump I put more in. It's always a guessing game because my air compressor...
