Anyone know if the 99-04 GT with 17" startfish wheels use shorter lug nuts? The McGard nuts I use on my BBS wheels won't fit under the center caps of the OEM 17" starfish wheels. These are the starfish wheels:

Looking at buying a set of 03-04 Cobra seats in apparently great condition for $700 (front and rear) - but what I really want is good lateral support which my stock 2000 GT seats completely lack. Will these be a worthwhile upgrade for good support, or am I better off buying some quality Corbeaus?

If you are selling a set of BBS RK wheels or just the rears please let me know. Looking to buy - contact me via PM or e-mail me at [email protected] Thanks, Phil

I currently have an aftermarket head unit in my 2000 GT that uses the Metra #70-5510 harness which integrates the Mach460 sound system. I would like to remove the Mach460 amps and speakers, and run a 2-channel amp to a pair of components 6.5" speakers in the front doors. Will I need to...

Did the 2012/2013 cars with the leather Recaro seat option use the same rear seat as the regular premium rear seats? Or were they different?

I am debating whether or not to get a pair of OEM Leather Recaro's (used from a '13 GT) or a pair of suede black Corbeau LG1 seats for my 2000 GT. The Recaros will require modification to the seat rails to get them to work on my car, where as the LG1's come with the correct seat rails to bolt...

Has anyone here managed to fit 2013 Mustang Recaro seats to a new-edge 99-04 Mustang? What was the process like? Is it the same as trying to fit regular S197 seats to the 99-04? Do the seat rails need to be removed and the 99-04 ones welded in?

I have a 2000 GT that is in great condition with the usual bolt-ons (shorty headers, full exhaust, 3.73 gears, struts/springs, intake plenum, throttle body, SFCs, canned tune), but the car feels sluggish around town, isn't good on gas, is very rough over uneven pavement, and just overall I am...

I would love a set of these wheels for my car, however I believe the offset isn't suitable for the SN95. Has anyone run a set of these on an SN95? Any clearance issues? Pictures? What is the offset? It is listed as 7.2" backspacing (what is that in terms of the usual mm offset?)...

I was told my T-45 transmission has a very slight bend on the input shaft, however after testing a spare clutch disc on the input shaft, I fail to see how there is a bend. I was able to slide the clutch disc onto the input shaft, however it didn't quite make contact with the throwout bearing...

I purchased a King Cobra "economy" clutch kit from UPR about 2 summers ago and I am finally getting around to installing. UPR said the throwout bearing included in the kit is supposed to be part # D9ZZ-7548-A however there is no Ford logo etched into it or any part number. I am worried that...

Can anyone tell me if the 03-04 Cobra flywheel is aluminum or steel? If aluminum, can it be resurfaced (i.e. does it have a removable friction plate)? I am trying to see if I can get a used one locally to resurface and put into my 2000 GT (anyone know if this will fit, my '2000 GT uses an 8...

My clutch died this past weekend at the track, and my mechanic thinks I may have burnt the flywheel to the point it needs to be replaced. Question is, can I use the 11" 8-bolt aluminum flywheel from the 03-04 cobra on my 2000 GT with the 8 bolt crank and 10.5" clutch?
