    Looking for new front brakes...need some advice

    Actually I have found the Baer kit for $200 less than the GT500 kit. As far as the GT500 kit fitting the stock 18" rims, I have heard that you need spacers to make them fit because the Bembo calipers are quick a lot bigger than the stock ones.

    Looking for new front brakes...need some advice

    I am looking for a new set of front brakes that won't break the bank. I plan on taking my car to the track at least 4 times a year so I want something that will last and resist fade. I am comparing the 3 following entry level kits and was hoping some people here may have them and tried them...

    Need help removing door panel...

    Thanks for the tip but I have tried that already. My old car was like that too. I can feel there is just one thing holding it in place but I can't see what it is. I figure it is some hidden screw somewhere that I haven't found yet, that is why I was hoping someone had an easy answer.

    Need help removing door panel...

    So I am trying to get the door panel off but I can't seem to get it. I took off the mirror controls, removed all the screws, removed the power window controls and the hidden screw behind them, removed all the screws for the 8" woofer but I still can't budge the door. And I can't seem to get the...

    Gas tank won't take gas, CD player won't play CD's...etc...

    All you have to do is put the nozzle in and then turn it upside down. It will fill up fine. If you do it the normal way it will keep shutting off. My Shaker 500 doesn't read my MP3 CD's either. Just says disc error and spits them out. I don't really care though since I am replacing the system.

    can the automatic take the abuse

    I am pretty sure that the 5spd tranny used in the Jaguars with 390HP was from Mercedes (my dad had 3 of these cars).

    05 WHEELS

    Excellent. That is good to know. I figured the 45mm to 35mm offset change wouldn't make too much of a difference. I mean thats only a 1cm change.

    Black 05 GT

    What size (width) tires did you end up getting? Did they make a difference in traction and handling?

    Black 05 GT

    If you don't mind my asking, what width are those rims and what offset are they? I am looking to get some wider 18 inch rims myself and I am not sure what offset to get. Thanks

    Gtech Pro RR...

    I have one. I love it. The only problem I had is that I couldn't get the shift light to work properly on my current car. I will be getting my 05 GT in early Decemeber so I will be sure to do some runs then.

    Still confused on rim offset...

    Ya but does that mean it is the same for an 18" rim? Even if the rim is wider then stock?

    Still confused on rim offset...

    I was wondering if anyone has an accurate answer as to what offset is required on a 18x9 or 18x9.5 rim so it will fit properly on the 05 without sticking out? Has anyone bought some aftermarket rims yet and has this info? I couldn't find a definitive answer when I searched. I will be...

    Wheel size ?

    From what I have read, I think you need to go with a smaller offset (like 30-35) otherwise the wheels will stick out too much. But don't take my word on it. I am kinda wondering the same thing.

    '05 Speaker upgrade

    Does anyone know how hard or easy it would be to put a set of 6.5" components up front (in the Shaker 500)? Will they fit where the 8" woofer is suppose to go? Thanks

    Weight of stock rims?

    I did a search but couldn't quite find the answer. Does anyone know the weight (approximately) of the stock rims on the 05 Mustang GT? Thanks

    how easy to remove gt fog lamps?

    The fog lights are molded into the grill on the GT so they can't be removed. I already checked that out when I was able to look at a car up close.
