    Suspension advice needed...

    I went through the same thing you are going through. I ended up sending back the bullitt kit for Eibach Pros and Tokico HPs and am very happy with the results. I am guessing that the Eibach springs with Mach struts/shocks should handle just fine. I have heard others out there that have that...

    stock ring and pinion gears?

    I just put 3.55s in my auto and there is definitely a noticeable difference from my stock 2.73s. I used a black 23 tooth speedo gear and I am right on. From what I have read, 3.55s is as high as you can go if you want to just change the speedo gear. You could get a speedcal and go with...

    Guys with M&M C/C plates...

    I have my car lowered 1.5" and I have one small on bottom and two big/one small on top. It doesn't look the best, but I have not had any issues of bottoming out.

    Options for fender...

    I just got my car out of storage last night (its a little early) because my DD broke down for good. Once I get a chance, I will post some pics.

    Options for fender...

    Yeah, I figured that a piece of trim would be the wrong choice. I have seen some "export fender flares" and thought that might look okay. Any pics? Is there anything that I can do to relieve some of the stress possibly minimizing the ripples until I have enough to do the job right? Any...

    Options for fender...

    This is a little embarasing, but after I lowered my car and put one inch spacers in back my tires hit and it took a little chunk out of them. Not a big deal, no leaks or anything. So I decided to "roll" the inner fender lip with a rubber mallet. I did a little research, but apparently not...

    CHECK ENGINE light blinks during acceleration.

    Have you cleaned the MAF recently? I was having the same problem and once I cleaned that no more "check engine" light.

    Shocks and struts

    I have pro-kits and HPs all around. Really enjoy the ride. As far as fox shocks, according to Josh at stangsuspension.com, you want the sn95 shocks and the fox struts. There is something with the internal bumpstop or something like that. He does a really good job explaining this. I would...

    Running Tokico's & MM's? Get in here!

    Sorry, I forgot to mention this. Yeah, I am using the fox struts and sn95 shocks.

    Running Tokico's & MM's? Get in here!

    As far as the spacers, I think it depends on the drop. I have pro-kits (about 1.5") and put one small spacer below and the rest on top of the plates. I have no clearance issues with my setup. Mike

    '66 GT Vert

    Hey Guys, Not sure if this is the correct forum for this or not, but I figured that I might as well ask. I have option of purchasing a '66 GT Vert auto. This is the information that I have on it "to the best of my knowledge 98000 miles. I am the third owner and have had the car for 23...

    AODE acting up

    I still have the stock gears - 2.73s. I know that they suck, but they are helping me out in this case. I only drive it a few thousand miles a year and most of it is in the city, so I will see how it goes for awhile. Thanks for all your feedback and info.

    AODE acting up

    If I do not use overdrive will I cause any more damage if I cannot afford to get it fixed at this point? I guess what I am trying to say is that if I never use overdrive, can I get away without having to remove the tranny until I have enough money to do it right?

    AODE acting up

    When I get this taken care of, is there anything else that I should have done. I want to stick with an automatic, but I was thinking that since the tranny will be out, I might as well take care of other items that requires the tranny to be taken out if there are any.

    AODE acting up

    I have a AODE with a Transgo shift kit and until recently it was running just fine. When accelerating at a normal rate, it shifts just fine through all the gears. When I step on the gas and go about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle it shifts fine into 2nd and 3rd. When it shifts to overdrive, the shift is...

    lowering kit for a 1995 GT

    If you are looking to lower your car for the look, probably not the best option. If you are looking for handling, it is hard to beat the price on a complete set like that. This kit only lowered mine 3/4 to 1 inch and that was with a few weeks to allow settling. Put in Eibach pro-kits and got...

    Some transmission cooler questions

    I just disconnected the upper hardlines of the radiator and used the adapters supplied by the B&M kit - no cutting involved. I mounted it in front of the radiator, but used some brackets so that it was not connected to it. Sorry no pics, but it is a really easy job.

    aode with 3.55s

    I just read somewhere that guys have been okay without a chip. That is why I am asking, so I get all the correct info before I make a decision.

    aode with 3.55s

    Thanks for the input. I have read that a shift kit may help with the shifts and I thought that if I did not go up to 3.73s, I may be able to save a few bucks. If I will NEED a chip even with 3.55s, I will probably go with the 3.73s. Any other thoughts?
