    Thoughts on Shcroth QuickFit Pro before I purchase?

    Also most HPDE groups require the driver and instructor be restrained in a similar fashion. So if the instructor does not have a Hans device you still can run your instructor laps with the OEM 3 point belts.

    Thoughts on Shcroth QuickFit Pro before I purchase?

    The all or nothing debate needs to be put to rest. It's either a street car or a race car. If you crash hard enough in anything life risk is high.Rollover incidents are statically rare compared to impacts.You will always be safer on track than driving to it. On track, everyone is going in...

    2024+ Mustang Brake Pads Available NOW

    Oh we have Girodisc on that, they already have them modeled from our samples. Huge weight savings in the rear, the DH has an aluminum hat already but Ford is really proud of them making the Girodiscs very cost competitive. You will see a bigger savings on the Brembo package cars with an iron...

    S650 Brembo Rear Retrofit?

    Well, I need to correct my previous statements. The 2024 Mustang I looked at in Feb of 23 was not a production car so basically Ford cheaped out and used the same crappy rear wheel hubs from the S550. I assumed (you know that saying) Ford carried over the GT500 parts for the S650, like they did...

    Father of the Boss 302 passes

    If we could all make it to 97... so back in the original, Hilliard Performance Equipment speed shop days, early 1990's, we bought all our Ford Parts and Ford Motorsport parts through Charlie at Danielson Ford in CT. Also a road racer. My Brother and I were down there on Saturday night making a...

    VERY soft brake pedal after wheel hub swap

    Is it possible you entrapped some air or maybe damaged a brake hose? Make sure one isn't twisted and you didnt knock the fittings at the caliper loose. Bleed the rear while cycling the parking brake. Make sure the pads are floating freely in the calipers.

    Breaking rear studs

    Fairly normal, OE studs have experienced a fairly high failure rate (or more correctly, heat cycle out faster) I have hundreds of OE take out studs if you need some but they are designed for normal people, not track use.

    PSA for rear brake line clearance

    FYI with any aftermarket lines and or big (wide) wheels. You need to check this stuff through out the suspension travel. Aftermarket lines slide in the bracket that attach to the sway bar. So you can move the line so the slack is in the proper place. If you change ride height or camber from...
