    caster camber plates

    Alot of guys will tell you they've done it with no problems. If you're really on that tight a budget, and doing the install yourself, go ahead and put in the springs and see if it can be aligned to spec. If not then you can A) elongate the holes in the strut tower to give yourself more...

    Fox body struts for 03 GT?

    The struts on your car have internal bump stops. I'm not sure, but I don't believe the rear shocks do. There should be a bump stop on the frame or over the diff housing. If not, the rear shocks have the internal stops as well. Most mfg struts and shocks for your car will work with a drop of...

    Fox body struts for 03 GT?

    The idea of the shorter struts on a lowered car is to get the strut piston closer to it's center of travel. This means more suspension travel before you bang the bump stops. Shorter struts or c/c plates that alow you to space the strut up into the engine compartment farther does the job. Use the...

    what is causing this crazy idle?!

    By any chance, have you removed the screen just ahead of the maf. If so, put it back in and see if that solves your problem. Let us know,

    This doesnt look natural...

    As others have said, it's probably just water mixed in with the oil. Take it out for a good long drive to throughly warm it up and evaporate the water out.

    Suspension Clarification Needed

    For a "mild" drop (up to 1.5") you won't need any "bump steer" or "rack bushings", and probably won't need c/c plates either. Get it lowered and then see if it can be aligned to spec, if it can't, then worry about c/c plates. You can go to MM or Steeda's site and read all about it in their tech...

    Bump steer?

    No you do not have bump steer. Stock suspension is actually engineered quite well. The tracking you are feeling is normal for cars with wide tires. The wider they are, the more they want to follow the groves worn into the pavement. Groves in most cases you can't see but the tires know are...

    ECM going out?

    When was the last time you had the battery and/or charging system checked out. Including bad or loose cable/wire connections. Low voltage will cause the ECM to go crazy and cause all sorts of problems.

    90mm MAF / KB ?

    Everything jstreet said is correct. By the way, when I got my KB blower they told me the stock maf was good to 500hp. I wonder if they're trying to sell a 90mm maf/tube kit..... ya think.:shrug:

    Eibach Pro-kit question

    Mine was down about 1-1/8" right after I installed the springs and down 1-1/4" after 3 weeks. 1/8" doesn't seem near enough initial drop when they are suppose to drop it 1.5" after it settles. IMHO. asking for 1-3/8" of additional settling is way too much. I would first look to see if the...

    180* Thermostat and Fan Settings?

    The major benefit is to reduce the potential for detonation. This is needed if you're bumping the timing or running a blower.

    new rims

    No more tracking problems than I was having with the stock 275's. No rubbing so far. Don't know on full crank because in 2000 miles I've never had the need to crank them full right or left.

    Camber Adjustment

    You sure it's camber and not toe-in that needs adjustment? And you said .."a bald spot..." Is it just one spot on the outside of the tire or is it wearing the tread around the whole outside of the tire? A single bald spot would indicate something else is wrong. Camber and toe can be adjusted...
