  1. Best wheel setup (no drag packs)

    SVE SP2
  2. Tires for FI: Nitto 555R2 or Toyo R888R or Michelin PS4S?

    For an all round tire, yeah I probably would. If all you care is dry conditions with the tire heated up, then pick the drsg radial.
  3. Tires for FI: Nitto 555R2 or Toyo R888R or Michelin PS4S?

    888R is really old tech. There are much better options. Anyone who is still runnning them is probably holding their breath for another Gravity Kills album y’all need to try the A052 or at least the newer bridgestone RE71RS. the Yokohama A052 hooks fantastically, and works very well in cool...
  4. Chin Track Days - COTA April 5-6

    Yeah at CotA uou wont see many Miatas. CotA is kinda expensive for the affordably minded miata crowd and they get passes on the longer straights like they’re stopped.
  5. Steeda Magneride Progressive Sport Springs for Road Coarse use

    For track or even autocross, the number is 500 or above on the front springs. Even the Steeda DRs at 350 (while a ton of fun) still dont support the nose enough. for a car which is still mainly a street car I wouldnt second guess a 400 front spring but I would be very careful what shock I pair...
  6. Best way to secure yourself in the stock sofa seats?

    Quickfit works better with the Recaros. With the sofa seats they can push down on your shoulders which probably isnt safe for your spine. (At least for my 5’10” build.) i like the Rallye 4 more than the Pro for the sofa seats (it stows faster and easier) but the Pro is better for recaros/race...
  7. Steeda Dual Rate springs review

    magnaride cars might benefit, but the weak point w/r/t the ride is definitely the shocks. With a spring this stiff or stiffer, you just can’t get away with skimping on the shocks. But yeah on a smooth track, they’re a ton of fun. After running the DRs for a couple years. i was suprised to...
  8. Installed Steeda progressive springs and camber plates today

    you got a source for that printout I assumed you received in a shady deal on the wrong side of the the railroad tracks? the problem is when you give a good shop alignment specs looser than a Tinuana hooker, they only give you what you asked for, and you go home with a minimum effort, ballpark...
  9. Installed Steeda progressive springs and camber plates today

    Well if it feels numb/heavy/stiff in the steering, and its off a bit left that makes sense if the numbers were take with a straight wheel. Take it back and ask them to take another shot at it. If they’re a reputable shop they will want to get it right. FWIW zero toe is the spec and toe-in is...
  10. Installed Steeda progressive springs and camber plates today

    If the steering feels stiffer, thats because you’re toed in right now. Zero toe would be more lively, toe in heels heavy. alignment shop barely touched anything, and didnt touch your camber as far as I can tell. What specifically did you ask them to do?
  11. BMR Suspension: Recommendation for Road Course and Autocross

    So worth the normal ford performance upgrade?
  12. Bolt on + tune guys who daily - What MPG?

    Honestly I’d expect many aftermarket tunes to be same to slightly worse mileage, but not my much.
  13. Hood Pins For Track Days?

    You can just raise the rubber stops slightly by turning them counter clockwise to add some up pressure on the latch to reduce some of that hood flutter. you definitely dont need hood latches. IDK why the GT500 has them but I expect its mostly to look different. It has to be ‘special’ to...
  14. True dual exhaust

    The stock suitcase resonator has two straight pipes inside, they’re just preforated for the resonator/muffler effects but you can see straight through each side.
  15. BMR Suspension: Recommendation for Road Course and Autocross

    Well my 2c is replacing the main rear control arm bushing with a bearing is a high value target for curing that looseness. That and the toe bearing you already probably have from the factory was enough on my car. OTOH the diff bushings added a ton of NVH. I would not do the stiff ones, I'd try...
  16. BMR Suspension: Recommendation for Road Course and Autocross

    Well on that list, only the camber bolts will do anything for performance. If you aren't fast with the stock Mach1 you won't be any faster with any of that stuff (camber aside). You may get some NVH from the diff supports, but I do think they may help those bushings last longer. I vastly...
  17. 10-Speed Auto Swap to Tremec Manual Trans

    in a staight line, yeah If you drive it around some corners and a manual should be faster, and its more fun. My grocery getter is an auto. i would trade cars for the manual. Its probably possible to reconfigure the car but its probably not worth the effort IMHO, and thats coming from...
  18. Best wheel setup (no drag packs)

    Apex SM-10 19x11 Anthracite SVE 19x11 Bronze (LMR) Apex VS5RS 18x11.5 Black
  19. Best wheel setup (no drag packs)

    ^ LMR is best-afflordable, many of them are flow formed, light pretty strong and cheap. you wont get concours paint, but they’re solid. Apex is a bit better and still a great value. Cant go wrong with Apex or LMR mustang-specific styles. There are others but lets start with those two.
  20. Biggest and widest tire for rear without rubbing

    This has been asked 100 times. You could start with a search. Its going to depend on a few thing, including wheel offset, widths, and tire model. If you want the absolutely widest tire all of those details will come into play. However, you should be aware that if traction is your real goal...
