Starting to get some more SN95 profiles/build threads in here... very cool! Hope to see some track day recaps and build progress from your journey.
Welcome from the Ozark State and I would sure look into the Apex Rims over the SVEs , but really like your idea of getting some bigger rubber. Running 315/18 BFG gforce R1Ss on my Boss and am liking their longevity compared to the Hoosiers. Love the Hoosiers, but I was going through them too quickly and though they heat up a bit slower they stay more consistent long races..............about 250-300 cheaper for a full set also.
Check out the Mustang Roundup in Hastings ,Ne. coming this October. Another Mustang Bucket List event and often a showcase of new stuff from Ford ( 3-8 Ford Engineers come down from Dearborn to run their track machines ). Go too www.racemph.com and cool mods on your SN95!!!!
Many of us have had the S350s, but the hub centric Apex rims fit a ton better. Easy to go square with spacers up front, and then rotate those donuts ------ looking to save you money in the long run.
What's wrong with Ramen, we have all eaten those noodles , just a sign of more important items gear heads spend money on ha, ha.
Bring them along, or have them drive up in another Mustang , and the whole family can get some track time instead of watching some one else on track.
Did I mention the partying ---- there were some years we put the Talledega infield to shame, ha.
You don't even have that much to scrub as you're, what 3100# in that SN-95? That puts you around an E46 BMW, and toss and remove a thing here and there and you're probably down to 2800.Nothing wrong with Ramen whatsoever, it just gets old! And it's unhealthy! I'm only 3 years removed from living in the college dorms and a diet consisting solely of cafe food, Ramen noodles, and beer got me fat. Trying to eat my veggies now and scrub some off so I can go faster

The MM stuff should help a bit. I'm just as interested in balancing the car out as I am total weight for AutoX purposes. They say the K Member and coilover kit will take 36# off the nose. AC is gone, condenser, compressor, lines, etc. I'm gonna set the engine back 1" on the new K. K and MM control arms put the wheels 1.5" forward. Etc.
Welcome from the Ozark State and I would sure look into the Apex Rims over the SVEs , PS -Apex is a site sponsor, rims are hub centric, and they have a big Sale right now!
I actually JUST got some videos uploaded from Hallett this weekend. I don't have a big name channel or anything, but I have started uploading my AutoX Runs and track videos from the past couple weeks.
I'm only 3 1/2 hours from Hallett, up in Missouri. Maybe we can meet up there one of these days.
