    Mach I Chin Spoiler, is it tough to do?

    Ok 04DarkShadowGT- I took your advise and ordered mine from mustangtuning.com. Looks like the best prices, plus you were right, free shipping! The chin spoiler is backordered though....

    285's on front?? Will this work?

    Not sure who did the tire fitment since I'm purchasing them online from an individual. I did have 255's up front on my 96 cobra and although it did tend to walk a bit in rutty paved roads, it didn't steer too bad. How many miles can you get out of Nitto 555's (if driven somewhat responsibly...lol)

    285's on front?? Will this work?

    understood. So I guess I'm good to go with 285's on the rear and 255's or 275's on the front. Thanks again for all the help.

    285's on front?? Will this work?

    Ok, well I'm buying a set and I guess I'll take off the 285's and put on 245's for the front. I could always save the 2 that I take off to put on the rear later I guess. So would a rim with this size: 17" x 9" (+26mm, 6.11" backspace) fit my 03 GT with 285's on the rear and wither 275's or...

    How to Correct Eibach Spring Sag Problem

    You know, funny thing is, I heard about this prior to having the springs installed, but I've had good luck with Eibach's in the past. As for the orientation of the pigtails, I'm not sure- I had them installed at www.bieberfever.com in Phoenix. So if I install adjustable lower control arms I can...

    How to Correct Eibach Spring Sag Problem

    Nope, they replaced all the isolators (or at least I paid for them to be installed).

    How to Correct Eibach Spring Sag Problem

    Ok, so a few months ago I had the Eibach Pro Kit installed on my 03 GT. I was looking for about a 1.5" drop, and better handling. What I got was about a little less than 1" on the drop, and an expected stiffer ride. I also noticed that my car sags 1/4" on the drivers side. Now before...

    GT Insurance Costs?

    The thing I liked about progressive is that they only check 35 months (or thereabouts) of your driving record (being 26 now I had some serious tickets when I was 21-22). They seem to be a reasonable company. I pay 195/month for my 03 GT. Geico was rediculously expensive due to the fact that...

    GT Insurance Costs?

    I really feel your pain on this one! When I was 18 I bought my first mustang, a 1996 Cobra. At the time I was on my parent's insurance policy so I didn't have to pay the high premium. After having the car for about a year I ended up putting it in my name and the insurance as well. With only...

    Modification Survey Thread

    Excellent Thread Hey everyone...I'm new here, and I think this is probably the best thread I've come across yet. Anyway, here are a few of my mods and my comments: Eibach Pro Kit- It was hard to notice the actual drop that these springs gave me so I ran to the dealership and parked next to...

    Just got a Orbital Buffer***PICS***

    What size buffer did you get? I bought a 10" O.B yesterday and found that it was almost too big for my car. It worked well on the large flat areas (ie hood, doors, roof, trunk), but it was overkill for areas such as the fender etc. BTW, yoiur car looks great!
