My old man is set on keeping the stock 18" wheels on his 2007. He's looking for more traction on launch (aren't we all?) but the car will need to turn and stop at least as well as stock...so drag radials are out. :)
The OEM setup is 255s up front, 285s in the rear.
Will 285s fit on the...
I spoke with one of the very friendly/patient/knowledgeable reps at Vorshlag about this package and it sounds fantastic...they have successfully run 18x11 and 315s all around on a dropped car without clearance issues, presumably thanks to the custom offsets that they worked out.
Is anyone...
This thing has been out of stock for quite a while now...they're seemingly no sense of urgency to get them back in production.
Is there another spoiler that has the same super-subtle looks, mounts in the stock mounting holes?

I suspect the answwer is "yes" but it's tricky to find any kind of consensus.
The thing I like about the FRPP kits is that they're complete. Shocks/springs, sways, end links, camber plates, bushings, etc..and they're a matched set.
Does anyone else offer an "all inclusive"...
Hey, guys.
I'm looking to drop the pony about 1.5" and I really want to focus on handling...as cool as a staggered setup is, I'm pretty sure that running as much tire in the front as possible will offset a small weight/friction savings that straight-line, drag racers are more concerned about...
As some of you guys may have noticed, the 2011-2014 RTR wheels are out of stock pretty much everywhere.
Word on the street is that VMR produced the wheels on behalf of RTR...and a quick look at their web page turns up another extremely similar looking wheel, available in our 5x114.3 bolt...
A guy over on TMS has turned up with a bent rod in is all stock 24,000 motor...I don't know this guy but he seems to have no motive for making this story up.
Has anyone heard of anything like this? Any ideas about what went wrong...
It sounds like the AC Compressors fail on these cars pretty regularly.
Did yours go? At what mileage? Do you use your AC heavily?
What causes the failures? Has Ford aknowlegded a poblem?
I run my AC pretty much only to defog the windshield. Otherwise, the windows are open...but this...
Hey, guys.
I have a very early 5.0 (bought in August, 2010) and while still all stock (except for exhaust) it has been damn near flawless after 18,400 miles.
That said, has there been a ECU reflash from Ford on these cars since the first version? If so, what did it change?
I have an SCT...
Hey, guys.
I'm thinking about picking up a Boss 302 steering wheel to replace the base model wheel in my '11 GT.
The Boss wheel has controls for the radio, etc. on it and the idea of a bunch of non-functional buttons staring me in the face is a deal breaker...
Has anyone been able o...
