What have you done to your mustang today?

[ghunt81]

FINALLY got her out for the season. I love these S550 wheels even though it was a pain in the ass to make them work with the Brembos.

Wheels look good

Those S550 wheels look really awesome.. So how did you get them to clear/work with the Brembo's.. Did you end up using spacers ?

 

[ghunt81]

3/8" spacers and I have just a hair under 1/8" clearance off the caliper at the closest point. But hey it works!

Those wheels look really really good on your car.

If 1/8" off the caliper provides enough clearance, that's all that really matters right

Those wheels look really really good on your car.

I think they actually look better on the S197 cars over the S550 IMHO

Thanks guys! I knew I liked these wheels when I saw them but now that they're on the car, damn they look amazing for factory wheels. Also love the dark stainless color of them. Works well with the windveil blue!

Stock Torsen / 3.73 gears.
I've never done that but I can certainly try it



I guess I should see about getting a dial gauge, something that can measure rotor runout should also be able to check the axle flange, right?

Yes the rotor runout will work.

They do look good. I did the same, took mine to work.

Ordered BMR 2011 UCA / Mount for the 2006 to go along with the BMR LCA's and Panhard bar.

 

[06 T-RED S/C GT]

How often do you need to re-grease your poly bushings on the BMR panhard and LCA's ?

 

[ponys197]

I hit the ones with the grease gun about every other oil change.

 

[Kuplex]

Washed it and changed the oil

That looks amazing. I did not realize they were s550 wheels at first glance. They look different in some way, in a better way.

Not BMR's LCAs, but I only hit them with two or three shots of grease a couple of times a year. Seems to be enough, often enough.

I usually do mine when I change my oil. 1-2 pumps of grease every 8-10k miles or so. It really depends on what grease you're using though. Some greases will stay in place a lot better than others.

Dylan, I only use synthetic/marine based which from my understanding is the only type recommended by BMR..

They recommend Amsoil's grease.

 

[06 T-RED S/C GT]

They recommend Amsoil's grease.

Thanks for the heads up Greg.. I assume that Amsoil's grease is also considered as synthetic/marine type ?
