    Anyone willing to part with a stick Royal Crimson GT vert?

    I have a friend who wants one in a bad way but he will not settle for anything but this specific combo and he doesn't believe that there are any for sale in the country. If you have one for sale, please send me price, mileage, and city. He is willing to buy the right car from anywhere in the...

    2014 GT LCA Torque Box Bolt Hole Ovaled

    2014 Mustang GT, 86,000 miles. About a year ago I started to feel the rear of the car steer under braking. I swapped out my rear LCAs for J&M tubular LCAs with the rotoball rubber/poly bushings. When I went to remove the OEM LCAs driver's side body end bushing crush tube was seized to the lca...

    Tried to torch out LCA bolts - Torque Box compromised?

    So my GT500 LCA bushings started to go, which isn't that surprising seeing as I have 71k on the car through 4 NY winters now. I went to replace them with J&M LCAs w/ rotoball bushings, but the OEM bushing sleeves were completely seized to the bolt on the body side, so when I went to turn them, I...

    Rear end pulls left under heavy braking

    Car is my daily, 2014 with 70k miles. When I stand on the brakes at speed, the rear pulls like it wants to come around on me, always to the left. If I let go of the wheel, the steering corrects to the left. If I hold the wheel straight, the whole car turns right, which is what makes me believe...

    Raised the front of my car over the weekend

    I was running Boss 302 springs with Koni Yellows. The additional 1/4" drop from the Konis made the front too low and I wasn't happy with the soft front rate. I swapped the fronts for 2012 GT500 SVTPP springs (234lbs) and the rears for Boss 302 Laguna Seca springs (191lbs). The car sits perfectly...

    Daily Driver tires in the $200-$250 range?

    I tried to search but the search seems to be broken. EDIT: Change of priorities, looking for a UHP All Season now. So I have Boss 19x9/9.5s on my car with 255/285s. It's a daily driver that does a ton of commuting in all weather. I do 17-20k a year. I have snows for the winter on my Brembo...

    Highest mileage lowered w/o UCA?

    My car has 57k miles since I bought it new with 7 miles in April 2013. I drive a lot. I'm currently on Boss springs front and rear with Koni Yellows. The Koni Yellows make the the Boss rake even worse, as the front is even lower than stock. I'm thinking about BMR SP009 rear springs only, but I'm...

    Need a competent dealership in the NY Metro Area for TSB work

    My car needs the 13 misfire TSB (13-6-15) done, but I've heard horror stories from pretty much every dealership in Westchester. Anyone have a good service department in this area and maybe the name of a trustworthy service advisor? I'm willing to go a decent ways to bring the car in on a...

    Just Installed HPS 5.0 - Impressions

    So I did pads and rotors at all 4 corners on my 2014 Track Pack. Pads - HPS 5.0 Rotors - Centric 120 Cryo Treated Front, low mileage take-off rears. My car has 56k miles now. Up until now, I've had factory Brembo pads. I've been very happy with the braking, didn't mind the dust, but unhappy...

    Base vs. Track Pack OEM ride heights

    With the 11/12 GT500s, the SVTPP suspension was 11mm lower than the base suspension. Are the 2013/14 SVTPP cars the same height as the 13/14 base suspension cars? Also, how do they compare, height wise, to an 11/12 SVTPP? Thanks.

    Bone stock coyote went into a weird limp mode on the highway

    Tonight, just after I got on the highway on my way home, I downshifted to 5th to pass someone and the car started chugging and bucking like it was running on 7 and I had no power. The CEL started flashing. Then, 30 seconds later, CEL went off and power came right back. Car has 35600 miles. It...

    Are wheels backward/forward compatible?

    Anyone know what the offsets are for the GT 20s and/or Performance Pack 19s? I want to know if they'll fit on an S197 or conversely, if the wheels off a Boss 302 will fit nicely on an S550.

    DIY toe alignment?

    Alright racers, I'm sick of spending 80 bucks for a fancy Hunter toe adjustment and ending up with a car that pulls in the opposite direction, just to be charged again to get it back to where it was pulling less. I don't know how often shops get their machines calibrated, but it certainly isn't...

    Steering is heavier when turning left.

    My car is a 2014, so it has EPAS. I hit a heavy series of potholes while hard on the brakes over the weekend and had to get an alignment. The car was no longer tracking straight with the steering wheel centered. I didn't notice it immediately after the alignment, but it feels like the steering...

    FS: Rear Boss Laguna Seca Springs

    I recently changed the rear springs out from my Laguna Seca suspension and I'd like to get rid of them. The springs are 191lbs, linear rate, and are the same height on the car as the 55D springs, so maybe 1/8" drop for base GTs and .5" for Brembo/Track Pack cars. New, they're about 60 dollars...

    Trick to reusing 2011+ Strut Mounts?

    I keep hearing how the 2011+ strut mounts are one time use only, even if you catch all the ball bearings during disassembly, they'll make noise if you reuse them. However, I've also heard that if they don't fall apart when you're taking them off, you should be okay to reuse. Is there a trick to...

    OEM Brembo/Boss summer P-Zeros, warm tire vibration problem with 2 different sets

    My Track Pack car came with 255/40/19 P-Zeros. I took them off in for 245/40 Blizzaks in November of last year and put them back on in April of this year. I put them back on and had them Road Force balanced with a Hunter GSP9700. They road forced out to under the .026 tolerance limit at all 4...

    Recaro Seat Skin Removal

    I'm a big guy, just a hair too big for my Recaro seat bottoms. The outside driver's seat thigh bolster no longer has any padding and the metal spar in the bolster jabs me in the thigh whenever I drive, which sucks because this is my daily driver. It feels like it's just metal and leather...
