    folded chin spoiler

    Mine came from classic design concepts and was not folded. It was an oversized shipment so it was a little more for shipping, but no bends in the spoiler...

    anyone else with throw-out bearing problems?

    Is there any chance that the grease could seep into other parts of the clutch assembly and contaminate the clutch? That's why I haven't tried this with my 01' GT at this point. It is really annoying having to listen to the TOB noise so I'm open to trying something but I don't want to have to...

    WHICH SHORT THROW SHIFTER

    Everyone here will have their own biased opinion on what they are using, so do some research on what will fit your needs best. There are several good brands of shifters and springs out there, it depends on what your going for. I'm totally happy with my steeda tri ax and eibach pro-kit....

    Pro-Kit / Does it really worth it?

    Definitely worth it IMO. Looks much better than stock and I personally like the way it handles lowered. 1.5" drop doesn't sound like a big difference but you can for sure notice it once they're installed. I think the pro kit works well with the 99+ GT's. Also, I didn't need c/c plates when I got...

    Throw-out Bearning Going?

    Definitely sounds like your TOB. I've had mine replaced twice now and the noise is back again. Just cause it's making noise doesn't mean it's bad. Our 99+ stangs have this inherent problem of noisy throw out bearings. I know several other stang owners with this same problem. Mine is noisier when...

    O.K. here are some new 05 vert pics.

    Thanks for the pic's, car looks great. Being the owner of a 2001 vert myself I've always been partial toward convertibles. Never liked the tan colored top much but it still looks really good...

    Newbie needs to know

    I walked on to a Ford lot and got a test drive without any problem. Right now in California, (S.F. bay area) dealers are only getting 1 or 2 at a time so they are getting MSRP. Until the 05' stangs are coming on to the lots in numbers they'll probably be able to get that MSRP. I don't understand...

    Checked out 05 today.

    The 05's will be available in a vert sometime spring to summer 2005.

    Nitto NT555 Tires

    Could be that the people with these "horror" stories just aren't very good drivers? I'm running nitto 555's and I drive my car pretty hard and no issues at all with corning or traction in general.

    cobra brake upgrade rotors ?

    For those of you using the cobra brake upgrade kit, which set of rotors did you go with? Cross drilled & slotted or slotted only? I've seen some research that say's the cross drilled may weaken the integrity of the rotor. Anyone have any factual evidence this might be the case?

    supercharger question

    KB blowers are designed to work with our stock internals if you stay within the 6-9psi range. No need to do anything else. Same with centrifugal chargers, if you stay around 8psi and are not putting out more than 400+ rwhp you should be fine. Do some research on the different types of chargers...

    AFS Wheels in here.

    Looking at what I've read, the 13" cobra brake upgrade kit requires 17" or larger wheels, so I'm sure it will work. I also have the 18x9 03' cobra wheels and will be upgrading to the 13" cobra brake kit as soon as my brakes need replacing...

    I was going to post re: plugs but since your on the subject, is anyone in here using denso iridium's? KB recommends them for their blower applications. Anyway, just looking for someone who is using iridiums & some input...

    Got Screwed NEED ADVICE

    Sounds like it's definitely your throw out bearing. I've had mine replaced twice already, both times it was covered under warranty. Mine is making noise again, so I'm just leaving it until I replace the whole clutch assembly after I get my blower...t.o.b. seems to be a common problem with late...

    Mach1 front airdam lower lip on 01 GT?

    Pretty easy install, you'll have to drill holes into your bumper and attach with plastic inserts. I added a few self tapping screws for a little more strength. I bought mine at:http://www.classicdesignconcepts.com

    STOCK SPRINGS CUT-OFF 1 COIL

    302 coupe you obviously have some good info, the point I was trying to make is that most guy's cutting springs don't have these facts or the experience cutting springs correctly. Like I said, the cars I've driven in that had cut springs, the suspension felt like crap...as far as hillbilly...

    STOCK SPRINGS CUT-OFF 1 COIL

    Springs are fairly inexpensive to buy, so I don't really get why you guy's who cut your springs want to sacrifice ride quality just to save a few bucks. If a mod is worth doing it's worth doing right...I've driven in cars with cut springs and the ride was very harsh. Just buy a set of good...
