    STEEDA HEAVY DUTY CAMBER /CASTER PLATES TROUBLES

    I have been using the Vorshlag Camber/Caster plates for about 4 years now. Never had any problems with clunking or other noise.

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    Got a dyno tune for my 2008 Mustang GT. I had a remote tune done on it after installing DOB supercharger kit. The remote tune wasn't bad, but I had a few issues with the throttle response and engine sputtering during hard cornering when autocrossing. Nothing against the folks that perform...

    I want to make my car a little quieter...

    I have the stock exhaust with Borla Touring mufflers. I think it has a nice sound without being too loud. I also have the DOB supercharger installed. I like hearing the surcharger whine without the exhaust drowning out everything.

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    It's not uncommon for the R6 brake pads to squeak as you're slowing down for a red light or stop sign. The noise doesn't bother me, but the car isn't a daily driver. I could see the noise getting annoying if I drove it every day. You could always try a traditional street pad and upgrade to...

    Gauge located

    The gauge pod above the rearview mirror looks great. I would be a buyer for one of those if you find anyone else that will make one.

    Gauge located

    I was able to make the single DIN gauge pod work. I went with the carbon fiber one. It was a little too wide so I used a dremel to trim the the width of the gauge pod. I also used a dremel to trim around the gauge in the dash kit. The side brackets in the dash kit holds the gauge pod in...

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    I have been wanting to do a few track days so I used Motul 600. I haven't had any problems with DOT 4. Nothing wrong with sticking with Motorcraft brake fluid.

    Gauge located

    I haven't been able to find anything that's already put together like what's the picture in the first post. I tried the three gauge pod on top of the dash, but it interferes with my vision when autocrossing. I bought a single DIN gauge pod that should work with minor modifications with the...

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    The Ford Performance kit I purchased also included the front dust shields. I went ahead and flushed out the brake lines with new brake fluid since I was already installing the four stainless steel brake line kit.

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    The 4 piston Brembo kit that I purchased came with the calipers, rotors, brake pads and brake lines. Seemed like quality rotors and the brake pads were fine for the street. Under hard braking while autocrossing the G-Loc brake pads were noticeably better than what came with the kit. Not sure...

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    The extra weight from the 6 piston calipers shouldn't really affect the handling. Most 19" rims weigh more than the 18" rims and this could have a small impact on handling, but not really enough for you to notice.

    Brembo 4P/6P & Handling

    The four piston Brembos is a good upgrade and you will notice an improvement over stock. Not every rim clears the 4 piston calipers, so you need to check this. I'm using the Brembos with the G-Loc R6 brake pads and have noticed a significant improvement. The R6 brake pads do make a little...

    Looking to improve handling without lowering the car

    Replacing/upgrading the suspension can get complicated. You may want to just go with a suspension package with all the parts already selected to work together. I have heard good things about the Ford Performance handling package. Each change you make affects something else, so you need to...

    Looking to improve handling without lowering the car

    I like the adjustability of the Koni Yellows for autocross, but they do ride rough. Not sure I would choose them for a daily driver.

    Looking to improve handling without lowering the car

    I would go with an adjustable rear sway bar first and start with the middle setting. You will notice a difference right away. It's my understanding that the shocks should be built/tuned to match the spring rate, so not sure how much difference shocks will make. Should help if they are...

    200 Treadwear Options

    I have been using the A052 for autocross. Great tire with good cold temperature traction and wet surface traction.

    Is there an aftermarket equivalent to the S197 factory mufflers?

    I have the Borla Touring mufflers on my 2008 Mustang GT. Slightly louder than stock and no drone. I'm still running the stock exhaust manifolds and H-pipe, but it the does have the DOB supercharger.

    Fuel Rail 180

    That's a really clean setup. Do you have some type of covers on the coil packs?

    Fuel Rail 180

    I installed the DOB supercharger on my car and I'm looking at cleaning up a few things. The fuel rails were swapped to each side and now the fuel rail connector is pointing in the wrong direction. I have been looking at some different fittings to make a 180-degree turn, but not real sure on...

    Vintage Muscle Cars

    I owned a few of the old Mopars and a 69 Mercury Cougar. I had brothers and friends that owned some of the Chevys and Pontiacs. Traction was always a problem, so adding wide tires in the back was common. Keeping the carburetor(s) in tune and rest of the ignition system happy was always a...

    Added FRPP aluminum driveshaft

    I have both the aluminum driveshaft and lighter flywheel on 2008 Mustang GT. I haven't noticed any problems, but I think the lighter flywheel had a bigger impact. They were both installed by a shop specializing in Mustangs and he didn't mention any potential problems.

    '05 GT - Vibration in steering wheel.

    If it's doing this when sitting still, I would check the motor mounts too. Maybe the bushings are bad or the bolts have come loose.

    Lightweight Battery

    I autocross in the CAMC class. Each winter I try to make incremental improvements to improve the handling of the car. I think just changing one item for weight savings doesn't make a difference, but when you add them up they may be able to make an impact. I already have the Steeda...

    Lightweight Battery

    Thanks for posting the links. I looked through most of these threads, but they are about 8-years old. Just checking to see if anyone has anything from the last couple of years.

    Lightweight Battery

    Anyone have any new updates/experiences on lightweight batteries? I'm still running the stock Motorcraft battery and plan on replacing it with a lighter one before next spring.
