    Purchased Koni STR.T.....Having second thoughts after comparing to OEM...

    I have a 2008 GT500 that still has the factory struts shocks. When I purchased the car it came with BMR 1.5" springs. I went ahead and purchased the Koni STR.T set as I read the reviews and everyone seemed very happy with them. Here is the issue I am dealing with. When I compare the compression...

    Upgrading suspension, please set me straight on strut mounts & camber bolts.

    Hi everyone, I have an 08 gt500 that I purchased with BMR lowering springs. As most guys did, only the rear springs were installed by the PO and the fronts (SP070) were in the trunk. What I am going to do is replace all the shocks/struts with Koni STR.T since AM has them on sale and install the...

    Cooling upgrades with front mount intercooler

    My 97 has an S trim with a procharger front mount IC that sits right in front of the radiator. The car does not overheat in FL heat with the AC on but the factory needle does sometimes creep up to the 'A', and then come back down to 'M' once the fans go full on. So in short, I would like to get...

    Are KYB AGX gas charged??

    Should these shocks have some rebound force? I am getting some noise from my suspension and having a bit of trouble finding it as most everything looks good. I recently replaced my CC plates and found that my KYB AGX (old) did not retract on their own like most do. I had to pull the strut rod by...

    American thunder with turndown question...

    You guys know if this is pretty much the same as the full system but without the tails? Mufflers are super 44 with the hangers in the same location. I'm asking because I have a set of polished tail pipes that I got from late model resto and now need an exhaust. If I pickup the system with dumps...

    Steering rack bushings.....visual movement in rack...

    I have a clunk when turning the wheel back and forth so I had a buddy work it from one side to the other and I feel the clunk in my tie rods when I put my hands on them. I am also able to see my steering rack moving back and forth. The bushings are original and are not crumbling, but I see the...

    When to kick on the meth......

    97 cobra with 8psi S trim & front mount intercooler. Also has a BOV. My meth kith is a snow performance stage 2 so it has the variable controller. Right now it is set to come on at 6psi with max spray at 8 or beyond. You guys think this is ok, or should the tip in point be a bit lower?

    Better engine cooling with blower and intercooler....

    I have an S trim on my 97 with a good size intercooler that sits right in front of the AC condensor. Though the car does not really run hot, I do see the temp needle move a bit off center toward the right. Question is, what options are there to improve cooling considering the interclooer for...

    Hotchkis cc plates and the dust boot/bump stop.....

    I had steeda plates with the spherical bearing and after dealing with the added noise I decided to go to the hotchkis plates with the poly bushings. Used these before and for a car you drive all the time on real streets, they work great. Anyway, these plates come with their own bump stop as well...

    Steering rack clang/rattle...

    I'm dealing with some front end noises and I narrowed one down to the rack. When I grab the brake disk with my hands and pull it lock to lock, I get this clang when the steering travel gets to the very end of where it can go. So at the end of it's travel where it stops the thing clangs/bangs a...

    Seat frames & TMI covers revisited..

    About a year ago there was a thread in this forum stating that 94-98 seat frames could NOT be used with the later style foam and upholstery. 03/04 cobra as an example. Not sure if anything has changed over at TMI but I now see covers and foams being sold specifically for the 97-98 cars. I saw on...

    Mystic 03/04 seats in a black/black SN95?

    You guys think that would look goofy? Anyone ever see this, or have any pics by chance?

    Intercooled V2 with Tial 50mm....question..

    This is the setup I have right now and wanted some feedback on if the valve is operating correctly. In normal driving conditions it vents all the time whenever I let out of the throttle. It even vents when the car is started and I think I even hear it venting at light throttle cruise. When...

    My quest finally ended today...

    So I have been looking for a 96-98 for a while and finally pulled the trigger today. I have a built 03 but have always loved the sn95 body lines. Now I have them both. Ive looked at everything from bone stock, to modified and was always on the fence. I finally decided that if I went all stock it...

    Brake/Clutch pedal pad wear.....what is normal?

    Guys, Im looking at a car that has well under 100K miles and both the brake and clutch pedal pads are so worn that they are pretty much hanging off the pedals. Is this normal?
