    Gear install - Bearing kits (y/n)?

    You guys are right, I'm never going to feel like dropping the whole sub frame assembly should a bearing go bad. I think I'll still get the 3.73's since I'm pretty sure my 3.55's are thrashed anyway. They seem like a good compromise between performance and retaining some highway driveability and...

    Gear install - Bearing kits (y/n)?

    I'm going to rebuild my rear end with 3.73's and I'm trying to decide if it's worth it replace the bearings with the FRPP kits (M-4210-B and M-4413-A). Normally I'd simply error on the side of caution and just buy the bearings but cash is a little tight right now and I'd prefer to use the old...

    What kind of spark plugs is everyone running?

    I've been using NGK TR55IX as far as I can tell they've been working just fine.

    03 GT Rear-End Saga

    Perhaps a transmission shop would be more familiar with setting up a diff properly. Chances are they deal with them on a day to day basis since they are a part of the transaxle on a fwd car.

    Winter tires?

    Dunlops Sport M3's I love em, I've got a set of 245 45 17 on my stock wheels and they work great! The car powers through the snow like a skidoo with these tires, up hills, down em, around corners, whatever it doesn't matter. It runs so true in the snow that I don't even bother to turn my...

    Tires!

    The tirerack is the best place to go to figure out what tires you want. They have a multitude of customer and professional reviews to help you decide on the perfect tire to fit your price/performance needs. I'm currently on my third set of summer tires. I've had the Gatorbacks, BFG KDWS, and...

    Mustang Man Laws

    Provided it's painted to match the body I don't see anything wrong with a carbon fiber hood. :nice: :nice: :nice: :nice:

    wheel spacers

    Any known issues using spacers on an IRS? I'm just worried that it will put additional stress on the linkages. I agree wider wheels is the better fix but I'm afraid I'm stuck with my frpp fr500s

    Serious brake problem at 24,000 miles. Please Help

    I normally between 15k to 20k miles out of my pads so I'd say at 26k there is a good chance you need em. Even though they are costly I'd highly recommend going to the dealer and getting the Ford OEM pads. I've yet to find a pad that matches the low dusting, noise, and performance characteristics.

    Amp Question

    I just used my owners manual and found the fuse under the dash that powers the stereo. I then wedged the wire in with the fuse itself. Perhaps not the most secure method but it isn't carrying much current and I haven't had any trouble so far. My amp goes on and off with the ignition and unless...

    What pads with Brembo rotors?

    +1 for the oem ford pads though I've been thinking about trying the Hawk ceramic pads. Since the the oem cobra pads are ridiculously expensive. The EBC green stuff pads I had were awful. I did a full brake job with the pads, rotors, and hardware. They made noise from day one and they dusted...

    X pipe vs H pipe on 99-04 stangs...

    H pipes tend to have a deep sound and x pipes have a raspier slightly higher pitch sound. Both designs should be good for a few extra ponies. I definitely felt my MRT H in the seat of my pants.

    Low noise/dust pads

    It about time for my bi-annual brake job so I'll be needing some new pads. I've been very happy with the oem pads that came with my cobra calipers, they're quiet, don't dust much, and perform well. They're just really expensive, unless I've been looking in all the wrong places I've been seeing...

    Mileage

    It really depends how you drive. I get about 12 mpg, but I drive like a nut.

    Traction control and winter driving

    Dunlop Wintersport M3's are all the traction control you need. I've got equipped on my car and used it for many years while I ran various summer/all-season tires. Since turning the traction control off with my Diablo Predator two summers ago I haven't felt the need to turn it back on no matter...

    Well i did,painted the chin!!

    Keep an eye on the paint under the bra. I had a Ford bra on my Mustang once upon a time and it left some funky marks in the clearcoat around the edges of the bra.
