Hey Gang,
Time to get ready for 2018 here in the Northeast. May is coming and I wanted to make some improvements on the car. have done 3 events last year so im catching on and having a blast!!!
I scored a nice set of used 07-09-GT500 wheels(cheap) 18x9.5 +45 And just ordered a set of T1 sports 275/40/18.under$200.ea I'm on budget and figured these will do fine for my skill level.......Im Just concerned about rubbing in the front. did some thread searching and appears this will work unless I read it wrong....
any thoughts,advise?. type of TPMS to get?.
I have a nice brake duct kit to install, and Hawk-HT10's and a flush on the to do list......Brembos are in the future,, just not now.
I did develop a slight rattle and occasional squeak from the front end. which i'll look into. remember it is a 08GT with only 50k and everything in the suspension is original and Its quite the mush mobile as I have read before, So I knew this going in. The rattle appeared after a few beatings at NJMP
How about some less expensive suspension upgrade options? (was gonna say "cheap" but nothing is cheap with this hobby).
How about a just bushing kit and dampers.? The Bilstein kit is sweet with the camber plates. but that will have to wait till next year. .was thinking about the 1" FR P springs or the Eibach 1" front/ 1.4 rear..
and a WL PHB and sway bar kit. not in this years budget.... figured tires and brakes were more important right now
Thanks
