    sub frame conectores full leangth ??

    Stay with the Maximums if you want full length sub-frames. One thing I did was the Griggs in-floor sub frame kit along with there sub-framme connectors. That make my car feel like a steet I-beam. :nice: But very pricey to in-stall but worth every penny. Rob

    Which Subframe connector?????

    Just my .02 1) You want a sub-frame connector to be as wide as the mounting point on the car. Because from what I have learned, welding the sub-frame connector to the uni-body at the corners is the strongest point. Welding any sub-frame connector to the under side of the uni-body (meaning the...

    Mustang still handles like an Ox Cart after many upgrades, why?

    Well, It could be your steering rack is shot. How many miles are on it? Check your steering shaft, That is the piece between the firewall and steering rack. The bushing could be shot and give you that play in the steering wheel. As for the other parts, you are doing a good job of up-grading...

    Autocross in NY?

    How about Lime Rock Ct for some open track events. NASA and PDA host open track events at Lime Rock. It's about $200-225 per day but they do put and instructor in the car with you every time you go on the track. Don't need a roll bar but your car does have to pass a simple safety inspection and...

    1997 Cobra or 1997 Mustang GT

    Here is my .02, Buy the Cobra. Then take your Cobra to an autoX event! Watch how bad the stock suspension on the Cobra can handle the power. You will learn respect for your car very fast at the same time learns the limits or how far you can push the Cobra. You are not going to be very happy...

    drag / street suspension set up - What to buy for s/c application ?

    There is a good chance you will still have to get a 350lb spring for the rear vs your stock (if thats what you have right now) 300lb springs weather you road race the car or not if you install a TA. From what I understand once you remove the upper contol arms, the weight of the rear now rest on...

    which LCA's, UCA's, SFC's, and springs?

    I'm a Griggs fan so here is a list of parts I would use. Lower Control Arms, Rear, Stock Springs Mustang '79-'98 MCA 4000 S $ 199.95 Upper Conrols. Griggs feels the Ford Motorsport HD upper conrol arms are the best. You would have to look up a price for them. Subframe Connector...

    drag / street suspension set up - What to buy for s/c application ?

    IMO, Before you do anything, get the subframe connector installed! Stop your body from twisting. This is a must!. After you do that and being you plan on doing the supercharger first. I would get the supercharger installed and see how well that goes. Spend the money to have it tuned...

    97 cobra with bad wheel hop

    I would start by looking at the upper and lower conrol arm bushings to see if they are shot. Second would be that the shocks and springs might be on the way out. My money is on the conrol arms. Rob

    Any kb on Cobra 96-98?

    This is one beef with KB units for 96-98 cobra's that you just reminded me of. The kits for my car do not have an intercooler option nor do we have any sort of bypass valve unlike the 99+ GT kits. Car feels like you are driving a true big block. Due to the fact you can not over rev the...

    Suspension Woes

    Just for kicks. If you can or the next time you are under the car. Look to see if your drive shaft has any groves. Sometimes when you lower the car along with soft springs in the rear the drive shaft can rub up against the parking brake cable guides. I also have a guy I use on Long Island the...

    Any kb on Cobra 96-98?

    I did it, It works very well and has not missed a beat. Like any supercharger, you lose power in how weather do to the hot air. I used my car with the KB for open track events and auto-Xing. I never took it drag racing. Best HP/ TQ I can muster from the setup is 385 HP and 378 TQ. Rob

    Melbourne area stangs

    No, I backed out of that deal. The contractor was not being very fair with his pricing. He wanted to charge me $150 a square foot for the construction. And that was with basic products, nothing fancy. :notnice: Here is a link to the place where I will have a house built. Saw Grass Keys...

    Another Village deprived of there idiot. :notnice: Sorry, time for you to get off your high horse. Not everyone has 32g's sitting around to spend nor do they have the finances at the time now or in the past to finance a "Real Cobra." That means they should be looked down from people like you...
