    Mild front lowering spring? Or comfortable coilover suggestions?

    Does anyone sell a front lowering spring for half inch drop? Or maybe a coilover setup that is forgiving on bad roads and adjusts to nearly stock height? Currently on Eibach Prokit (1 inch front and 1.5 inch rear drop) with Koni Specials front and Koni STRT rear. (switched to specials when...

    Has anyone put Edelbrock 2650 in an 11-14?

    Just curious if anyone has put a 2650 edelbrock blower onto an 11-14 coyote. I know they don't sell a kit for the 2650 (besides VMP) that fits an 11-14, but has anyone tried piecing something together? I like the idea of a blower that fits under a boss strut brace without lower engine mounts.

    Caster/Camber plates for BC Coilovers?

    I recently picked up some second hand BC coilovers for 11-14 mustang. I'm curious if any caster/camber plate will work with these or if I need to look for something specific? I'm currently on lowering springs with camber bolts, but figured with coilovers it might be better to use something...

    Does coyote tick have impacts on tuning potential?

    Hey guys I'm just wondering about the common coyote tick (comes with oil changes and dissipates with miles until next change). Does this tick limit the engine's potential or interfere with tuning/data-logging? I've watched videos and read posts about things like exhaust bolts causing false...

    Centrifugal idle noise comparison? procharger vs paxton/vortech?

    Hey guys I'm curious if the paxton/vortech superchargers make as much idle noise as procharger setups? Seems like procharger idle whine overpowers exhaust in many cars I've seen at shows, but I haven't seen many vortech/paxton blowers in person.

    Zerk fitting size on UPR Poly LCA?

    Hey guys I managed to lose a zerk fitting on a UPR lower control arm. Pretty sure it snapped off in a car wash (I warned them not to put it on their track system, but they thought they knew better). Does anyone know what size zerk fitting I need to replace the zerk grease fitting for the poly...

    97 GT as cheap drift car?

    Hey guys I'm wondering if a 1997 Mustang GT has any potential as a low speed drift car. How reliable is the 4.6 and does it respond well to budget bolt ons like CAI, TB, and plenum? I'm familiar with the SN95 body I had a 98 v6 in college. Are there reputable tuners for the old 4.6?

    electric exhaust cut outs?

    Hey does anyone have opinions on or experience with electric exhaust cutouts? I know they usually cost close to $500, but I found a generic brand set on amazon for $175 and I'm debating if the crazy cheap set is worth the gamble...

    generic electric cut out valves?

    So i've been looking at these really cheap electric cut out valves: https://www.amazon.com/Generic-Exhaust-Control-Stainless-Electric/dp/B01KZ8QT06/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1480474551&sr=8-3&keywords=electric+cutout+exhaust I'm really skeptical about buying such cheap parts, but if they work at...

    What to use to paint muffler/tips?

    So I've been tossing around the idea of spray painting my gt500 mufflers black, but obviously they get pretty hot, so would over the counter spray cans hold up to the heat? Would black plastidip hold up?

    Dumb question about ride comfort in passenger seat vs driver seat of lowered mustang

    This may seem like a dumb question, and my thoughts may even answer it, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what specifically makes the passenger seat so much of a rougher ride than the driver seat? When I'm in the driver seat of my car it is pretty tolerable on patchy bad roads, but if I let my...

    Hood shaking, functional hood pins or alternatives?

    I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with hood pins on 11-14 mustang hoods, or experience with hoods coming off or rattling. I wasn't too worried about this at all until recently I found one specific road that causes my hood to rattle. The road isn't that rough or bumpy and I think that...

    Is A6 select-shift capable enough to handle track drift event?

    I found a local track that hosts a drift night every other week. It's on a small portion of a low speed track, one car at a time, so please skip the "drifting is dangerous" comments, my only interest in drifting is in a safe track environment. I don't plan to hoon around the city or show off or...

    Shock Tower Brace Fitment? AM rep?

    I picked up an SR Performance rear shock tower brace from American Muscle, and I haven't been able to fit it successfully. The tabs will need to be bent definitely but it seems the bar is a couple hairs too long to fit between the shock towers. Here's the product for reference...

    Suspension bolt on install order?

    I'll be doing a bit of suspension work this week hopefully. Will be doing eibach lowering springs and koni strt stocks/struts first, with shock tower brace at the same time. Then I'll be putting in BMR adjustable panhard bar, BMR LCA relocation bracket and LCA's, my question is what order...

    Is the coyote BBQ tick harmful?

    Hey everyone, I just had the ford dealership do the first oil change on my 2014 a6 gt and it immediately developed the famous coyote BBQ ticket. I took it back to ford and they are looking into it now, but from what others have told me the dealership will most likely say it is "normal" for the...

    is a rear shock tower brace worth it?

    Piecing together my suspension setup still. So far I've ordered the eibach prokit springs and dampers, and BMR adjustable panhard bar. The boss strut tower brace made a world of difference when I put it on a while ago so I am wondering if a rear shock tower brace would also make a difference?

    255-45-18 on 18x8 rim? advantages of 18x9 rim?

    I know ideally a 255 tire should fit over an 18x9 rim, but the rims I picked up used were 18x8 and 18x10. I'm curious what the downsides are over using an 8inch front rim instead of 9 inch? Currently I have 235 up front (stock rubber) and 275 invos on the rear and it feels lacking up front...

    What to look for in control arms? looking to avoid squeak and noise

    I'm looking to tighten up my 2014 GT to improve handling and launch traction. I'm looking into lower control arms, but many reviews mention increased noise and this is something I'd like to avoid at all cost. What brand or types or bushings should I look for or avoid? Also, are shock braces...
