    Painting Brake Calipers?

    I have mixed feelings on this. How does everyone feel on painting brake calipers. My car is torch red and I'm thinking about painting my brake calipers the matching color. Any thoughts?

    Basic suspension setup? 99 SVT Cobra Vert

    I have a 99 SVT Cobra Convertible and want to put some new suspension on it. I am obviously looking to improve both the handling and the appearance (lowered). The problem is, as many of you experience, "money". I'm getting married June 3rd and will have a hard time justifying a large chunk of...

    My 99 - Hydraulic or Mechanical Clutch?

    This may be a stupid question that I could figure out myself but I'm busy at work and can't go look at the car right now. On my 99 SVT Cobra do I have a hydraulic or mechanical clutch? I'm about to pick up a new clutch before I take my car to the shop. The mechanic suggested an SVL Clutch...

    99 SVT Cobra Suspension Suggestions

    I have a 99 SVT Cobr Vert that I bought several months ago. I absolutely love the car and the performance it gives. The one thing I feel I NEED to do however is upgrade the suspension. I think about 1.5 inch drop would work nicely. Does anyone have any suggestions on what springs, struts...

    Wheel Lock lost

    On my 95GT the special "key" for the front right lug nut wheel lock has been lost. This pretty much makes it impossible for me to get the wheel off. Does anyone know another way to get the wheel off or where I can buy a new "key" that will work on this car? Thanks for any input.

    Suspension suggestions?

    I just bought the Eibach Pro Kit springs and am now looking for shocks and struts for my car before I start the installation. Does anyone have suggestions? I was looking at Tokico or Koni's but they are real expensive. Is it really worth the extra price or is there something cheaper with...

    Installing new exhaust, any help?

    Automatic 95GT (100,000miles). I just received my new Flowmaster Cat Back Exhaust and am going install it this weekend. I've never done exhaust work before and have a friend who is going to help me. He knows more than I do but neither of us are pros. I just wanted to see if there are any...

    Installing Eibach Springs...what else do I need?

    I ordered Eibach Pro Kit springs and will probably have someone else install them for me as soon as I get them. I am eventually planning on redoing the whole suspension, struts, etc. but right now just the srpings. Is this ok, or do I need to redo everything when I put the springs on, or can I...
