biggsy replied to the thread S550 2017 Grabber Blue Mustang GT.I'm happy you were able to finish your track day. I also want to echo the suggestion of cam cover upgrade.

I see your build thread and those camber arms have been known to break under track and sometimes regular driving. SPC, OEM, SPL are the only reliable options. More importantly I’m glad it didn’t bring harm to you while on...

biggsy replied to the thread S550 rhino5oh's 2018 Shelby GT350.everything looks great so far!One thing you may want to consider about the holes if it bothers you that much: Find a body shop you trust to fill/weld in the holes and paint over it.

biggsy replied to the thread S650 Brembo Rear Retrofit?.I believe @OPMustang Tim has mentioned in the Facebook group a few months ago why it couldn’t be done or what would need to be done.I may be wrong but if you want less stress on the front then why not increase rear pad compound?

biggsy replied to the thread Splined Strut Camber Bolts - Why are they splined.Yea. I had a shop install camber bolts without my knowledge. The bolt ended up slipping and cause the wheel to make contact with the strut. Left a nice silver ring on the inner barrel of the wheel. So now that I have been traumatized, I won’t...

biggsy reacted to GAR944's post in the thread Splined Strut Camber Bolts - Why are they splined with Like.Thanks for that bit of information. Was going to linish the splines down on the origional bolts but was curious if i was missing something from an engineering standpoint. My 944 had modified struts and they came with a factory eccentric washer...

There is someone in one of the track FB group who is... (see full post)
