Correct. The Shelby aluminum knuckle is too much of a commitment. I would end up needing new arms (different conical seating for the ball joint) and the Shelby brake…
Thanks! I personally like to make the "backbone" of the car as strong as possible. Even though it might not do anything as significant as changing tires, it's still pleasing knowing it inside my head.
The benefit besides fixing my old broken hub is that I feel more front stiffness during...
During this weekend, I put on the Magneride Front Knuckle I've sourced from the Parts Farm. Some pics:

I have developed clunks in my front wheel hub, so the first impression is: the clunk is finally gone. Besides that, I have the benefit of a stronger Shelby-spec...
My clutch hydraulics had been great, it was just that sometimes the pedal would sag a little overnight, and I had to pump it and drive it for a while to make the pedal nice and firm again.
I thought it was because of air in my system, so I got a vacuum pump and held some vacuum on top of the...
Did you feel improvement after installing the new tension Link 555-4907? This might be an interesting upgrade for me since I don't want to make a dedication to all-out bearings.
I copy-pasted the factory as-built I backed up. However one bit stayed modified because it's write-once. Forscan locked that write-once bit after several of us blew up the BCM because of that.

If somebody makes an adapter that mounts pp brakes to the gt350 knuckle that would be so great. The ghetto solution for me would be to use the magneride front knuckles. They have the same wheel bearing as the gt350, which is a huge step up over the stock one.
You're welcome. I personally used the eibach 15mm spacer+stud kit. It maintains the inner clearance with the stock 9' wheel, and you can avoid open lug nuts since the studs are exactly 15mm longer.
5mm is definitely not enough. I tried it with 9.5 rear wheels and 275/40/19 continental extremecontact sport, and it was just rubbing slightly, so I understand how some people get away with it using tires with a slimmer side wall.
FPRS mustangs uses 8mm spacers and arp studs on all four...
I know that this thread's a bit old, but still I'm glad you're happy with the trip! Shanghai's fun right? I'm from there actually.
As a guy from a country often bashed for crap parts (from unknown source of course, we make iPhones and honeywell turbos) and other stuff, I really appreciate you...
