These look tasty. Will 18” clear the 6 pistons? I was under the impression 19s were required. It’s a big reason I went with 4 pistons.Slowly picking up parts this winter. S550 brakes and whiteline sway bars on the way.

I believe you are right on them requiring the 19s. My gt came factory with 19s and I ordered a new set of 19x11s for sticky tires. I figured it was not much more for the 6pots. Might look into a track day to test them out this year but I'm trying to get about 20 AX events in this season.These look tasty. Will 18” clear the 6 pistons?

This is great news!
Got the whiteline swaybars in beginning of the week. $360 for both adj bars with shipping. Couldn't find anything nearly as close in price. Never had heard of the site before and took a gamble.

I think I stated it a little wrong. I had planned to buy the whiteline parts. But found then $100 cheaper on eliteracefab.com. I'd never heard of them before and decided to take the chance ordering from them. Shipping was fast and got legit parts. Watching the shipping info, pretty sure the parts came from the Texas Summitt wharehouse.No worries, there are guys on here using them, and frankly with parts supplies sometimes we have to take a chance and go for what we can get - within reason.
I didn't know that people were going to be taking pictures! So I just tossed them on real quick. Lol. I am not in Lincoln. There are a few guys I know over there.Any chance you are in Lincoln at the SCCA Solo Nationals? If so I hope to meet you and by the way check your CAM C decals the second C is crooked , haha!
I went and saw Dave before the STL autocross. I've had a hard time finding mechanics that care about the car as much as I do. Took it for an alignment. They missed the blown out hydro bushing on the front control arms. And I've realized the wheels are not centered in the wheel wells. Dave was awesome and checked my suspension out and gave me some tips to keep an eye on. I'll be heading back to him for an alignment after I get my rear diff replaced.Do make it next year as it is not just the Nationals it is a " Happening." New drivers can learn more going there for the week than a year of events and the parties, excitement, camaraderie and spectacle are unreal! Reasonably close drive for you and you have one of the best Solo Companies in the US pretty close to you in St. Louis ( soloperformance.com ). Dave Whitworth ( DaveW ) is on here , though this week and more he is working his Store and helping changed tires at the Nationals site.
Have fun with your Solo Stang, it looks like you have caught the bug. Off to Lincoln, myself , in just a little bit.

No no. The shop that installed my adj lcas evidently did not make them equal length. I wanted to torsen for autocross because I'm pretty sure the trac look clutch packs are worn out and I might have popped a rear wheel seal last event... lolWaittttt a minute....your friend Dave deduced that since your rear axle is off center, you need an entire new rear end? I hope I am reading this wrong....
When you lower an s-197, you need to get an adjustable panhard bar to get the rear end aligned again. Based off the arc of the panhard bar, the rearend will move left/right in relation to the body of the car when the suspension is traveling over it's range of motion. Very common, inevitable problem. Your axle is likely fine.
Nice C4 btw
