  1. Thickness of OEM Brembo brake pads when new?

    If someone can confirm the Boss OE front pads were also offered as Performance Friction, does someone know that service part number or what this cross references to from PF? Couldn't post a photo here of the Ferodo pad, for some reason, couldn't upload a photo.
  2. Thickness of OEM Brembo brake pads when new?

    The front OE pads (at least on my 12) are made by Ferodo as p/n 4448 which is Ford service p/n 7R3Z-2001-A. Ferodo is a division of Federal-Mogul. I tried to get these via the aftermarket but are not available, as of yet. The rear pads are by Performance Friction. Doesn't change what you guys...
  3. Sound Tube delete

    The purpose of the sound tube, that we're in the process of deleting, was as someone pointed out, to direct induction sound to the driver when the windows are up. The device in the tube is called a Symposer made by the company Mann+Hummel, a major supplier for intake systems and filters, known...

  5. Cracked Piston

There was also a slight change in the piston ring groove machining to work with the new rings. Good luck. I also have a small tick in my engine, so I'm probably going to...
  6. M-5300-BR Springs

    I bought the Steeda Boss springs but only installed the rears, the advertised spring rate is almost the same as stock, but with the lowered ride height. Looks better for the street, but I have not tracked the car with them, for this I reinstalled the stock springs. I felt it was better to stick...
  7. Track tires for 19"

    I've used the Hoosier R6 265/35 and 295/30 on the 19x9 and 19x10 Motorsports wheels for track events. It is important to maintain the 30mm tire width stagger front to rear to work with the suspension set up for the Boss, i.e. to maintain cornering balance. The Hoosiers have great stick but the...
