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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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?

Guys, I came across this 98 CY cobra through a friend of a friend and having a hard time figuring out what fair value is. CA car, in the same family since new. 70K miles. no rust, clean underneath. Not a single mod, everything stock down to the filter. Paint is very nice most everywhere. Two...

I don't have any condensation reaching the ground. I can hear it burning off on the manifolds when I shut the doors. Is there a common spot where it pools?

Hi guys, There has been no fraud just yet, but have a listen to the following scenario and let me know what you think.. Car is advertised on Ebay..buyer contacts the seller and agree to purchase said car for say $10000. A deposit of $1000 is sent via PayPal. A bank issued cashiers check is...

Price drop to $38,000. Wife's 40th birthday is coming up and I want to buy her something nice. Thus I am selling this car. 37K is what a local dealer offered me on trade. Considering the tax savings I will see by just trading it in, as well as ease of transaction, I will offer it here for...

I have an '11 GT500 with the factory SVTPP. Took the advice on this board and put in the FRPP L springs. Love the feel of the car, so this goes along with what others were saying. The front of my car hardly dropped at all. Maybe 1/4" if I am lucky. Has anyone done this to a post '11 SVTPP car...

Dont have the funds for top of the line yellow's or D specs at the moment and am wondering if these would be a noticable improvement over the svtpp shocks/struts when used with L springs. By 'noticable improvement' I mean ride quality/spring control. Dont see a point in spending $400+ if the...

I know this is sold as a package from ford but dont necessarily believe that means it is a good match. So for those that installed L springs on a car that still has the factory svtpp shocks, what say you? Has the ride quality gone down hill?

Did alot of research before pulling the trigger on a clutch and wanted to post my impressions and approach for the benefit of others. If you read through all the clutch posts on these boards, you will find many who are not happy with the result, and many who are. It is very hard to make an...

Guys, does the pigtail on the rear coils need to line up with the hole in the control arm? I know on most cars the coil needs to seat with the end of the pigtail in a certain location. I see this mostly on front control arm so just wanted to know if the rear coils can go in any way you like, or...

Did lots of reading on the boards and I know all the available options out there. What I want to nail down is specific to my 11' with svtpp. Since this car is setup differently than non svtpp cars, the same theories do not apply. My goal is not a drastic drop as I think the svtpp sits ok. For...
