    I'm currently using Hawk HP+ pads, some use Hawk Blacks. I wouldn't recommend hawk blues as they'll eat up your rotors and the dust will kill your paint. Performance Friction makes great pads too, although I'm not familiar with the appropriate autox/track compounds since they don't make a...

    Lowering springs, Front Camber & Rear Panhard Bar

    Eibach doesn't really put the camber in the springs, rather it's a direct result of the suspension geometry being changed after installation, and this is true of any car that is lowered. That being said, a little (or a lot, I run 1.2neg on all four corners) is really fun on track or at an...

    Sounds fun! Glad to see more and more people getting out there for Driver Ed events and HPDE. Did you use the stock pads and fluid?

    Rear Springs

    Has anyone changed pads from stock? I know when I put Hawk HP+ pads on my car for autocross, I STARTED getting significant squeel, but I was expecting that with an agreessive pad. Maybe a mild street pad from a performance company like Hawk, EBC, or Performance Friction would help with the...

    Rear Springs

    I dunno. I have a feeling that the spring manufacturers bundle a whole set of springs for a reason, they're designed to work with one another front and rear. On the other hand, my goals for springs are performance and not visual (not that there's anything wrong with that) so I'd want to make...

    Rear Springs

    I would not advise cutting the springs. Why are you interested in only the rear springs? If you only lower the rear, it will throw off the balance of the car, not to mention it won't look right.

    Lowering springs, Front Camber & Rear Panhard Bar

    I remember reading in Grassroots Motorsports about a project Neon SRT-4 that they couldn't get to handle like they wanted at an autocross because they couldn't get enough neg camber. Well they dug up a FACTORY bolt kit that allowed them to do this without camber plates. Obviously going the...

    For those with lowered Mustangs...

    I second this suggestion. After putting an Eibach kit on my car, i took the car for a custom alignment, and the shop totally fubbed it up. I finally managed to find a decent race shop that did a quality alignment and the car was transformed.

    X/A/D Plans - where was (if) yours honored. N-S-E-W?

    I managed to find a dealer that (at least via email) says they'll order and give me A/Z plan pricing. I"ll update with dealer name once I have a build sheet.

    Anyone know of a dealer in the VA/DC/MD area that is honoring A-Plan on the GT?
