    Opinions on Kumho Ecsta MX

    Love my MX's, 15k so far, probably will get 22-25k. 295/35 and 275/35. They take a few minutes to warm up before they stick very good. I run my car hard and I feel very confident about high speed turns in dry and wet conditions from my experiences so far.

    Should I trade up? Help!

    I like the sound of that :cool: Oh boy.... I've got one hell of a decision. Perhaps it would make good sense to wait a year until the new Mustangs come out - could save me money... or make me wish I had done it a year earlier :shrug:

    Should I trade up? Help!

    Well I guess it all comes down to the mileage for me. This car would be my daily driver and I put 13-15k per year. It was the first Cobra delivered in the state back in June 2002 so that makes the mileage a little more stomachable (nice word). The car is owned by an older gentleman (swears...

    Should I trade up? Help!

    Good sense - more questions.. That makes good sense - #'s aside I'm really not sure the extra horsepower is worth the trouble. There needs to be more to it. Is the Cobra built on the same chassis and basic components? Is there enough difference in the car quality vs. the GT? If it is just...

    Should I trade up? Help!

    I have a dilemma on my hands.... I just put new wheels, tires, shocks, struts and a full exhaust on my '03 GT Premium Dark Shadow Gray. I'm not really happy with the squeaky suspension but other than that it is a great car... but it's a little on the slow side since it looks great and EVERYONE...

    03 GT with KB at the track VID

    Nice Nice run. I'm more excited to see someone else in Utah. Seems like we're a little low on Mustang people in the state. Who did the install for you? SLC doesn't have any shops other than ricer specialized, so I'm hoping to find somewhere that I can plan to do my KB install.

    285/35ZR-18 too big?

    275's max I have 275/35/18 up front on 18x9's and they barely rub in reverse with the wheel fully cranked. If I were to do it again I'd go with 265's up front - and that is just to make the front look a little smaller compared to my 295/35's in the rear. It doesn't rub enough for me to be...

    Fake Hood Scoop ?

    I agree with you, but it appears that Ccmustang has a flat black insert too. I emailed them last week for any pictures but haven't heard back from them. I did get a response a while back that the inserts don't become as dull as the stock ones. Mine has a good soap film that covers the honeycombs...

    Ordering my suspension set-up. Need advice(s)..

    I just received the Steeda sport springs I ordered from Mustangtuning. They were great to deal with and free shipping to boot saved some bucks. The shipping did take a couple days longer than expected, but overall I'd order from them again. I went with the Tokico Mach 1 shocks and struts -...

    so.. where did you get you tires 18x9/18x10

    .02 I put Kuhmo Ecsta MX 275/35/18 front and 295/35/18 rear on 18x9 and 18x10. I think they look great and will look better after my new springs go on to lower the car a little. I have to admit the car follows every track in the road, but they are still brand new and will definitely loosen...

    Kumho Ecsta MX Questions...

    So far so good... I just put some Kuhmo Ecsta MX's on my new wheels - 295/35/18 & 275/35/18. So far I have no complaints and hope everyone's experiences bashing Kuhmo comes from the 712's and not the MX's. There is a good review of the MX's compared to some other top brands at www.tirerack.com...

    New magnaflows finally... quite an ordeal

    New magnaflows finally... I was able to finally get my Magnaflow X w/cats and catback installed today on my '03 and all I can say is :D SWEET!!! Drop dead beautiful... You may think it was probably a painless experience like most exhaust installs should be, but an exhaust leak made me...

    Tires too small... continued (pics)

    I would love to try if I had the time. I really used to enjoy working on my cars, but I don't have 4 hours to spare. I compete in model aerobatics on the weekend and work 50 hrs week. Unfortunately I can't afford to spend the time and would have to rent the equipment to do it - just isn't worth...

    Tires too small... continued (pics)

    Thanks! and a question Thanks for all the opinions and advice. I decided to go with the Steeda sport springs and most likely the Mach 1 shocks and struts. Just one last question... will the Mach 1 (Tokico) shocks and struts really make that big of a difference compared with the stock ones in...

    Different Lowering Values Among Retailers - Ford B Springs Does the '99 that you have equal about the same height as my '03 GT stock? Just making sure since nobody with an '03 GT has chimed in. Also, when shopping for the B spring, partshopper has a different description for the amount of...
