    S550 Lightweight brake setup for 18" wheels (Aerospace)?

    The best upgrade would be the Radi-Cal from AP. Its way cheaper than the Brembo setup and from what i've seen on track these are equal to the $8000 Brembo's.https://www.essexparts.com/ap-racing-by-essex-radi-cal-competition-brake-kit-rear-cp9450340mm-s550-ford-mustang

    Your Thoughts on my build.

    A properly tuned Quadrabog is music to my ears (bwooooooowaoaaaoaooooo) thats of course with flipped over air filter lid.. NOBODY loves a 305 powered 79 Chevy in the snow more than i do! but this Bronco..

    I can one up that.. sliding around in Michigan snow with TC off and the rear diff locked in my Bronco Wildtrac.. that was insane fun 70mph front rooster tails of snow.

    Your Thoughts on my build.

    I had a regular black golf and it handled extremely well i wanted the GTI but it was a little expensive.. then I got the Civic Si and that handling was off the charts, its what i wanted my Mustang to handle like and it finally does with the soft rate and great shocks. With your downforce...

    Your Thoughts on my build.

    I agree and took it even further.. i got the best grip so far going down to 375 front and 150 rear springs! a little body roll doesn't hurt and you have plenty of suspension travel. look at the phoenix S197.. that thing rolls and pics of the front inside wheel all the time like the old VW GTI's.

    Your Thoughts on my build.

    The bars are just a tuning device as you know well.. the factory FRONT ones are bonded to the bushings and that is mostly to eliminate noise and thunk warranty, especially in cold climates. Ideally we use a ball bearing interface there and its like a Nascar setup where its a straight bar thats...

    S550 RUSSIAN TWIN TURBO STANG "DINOSAUR". 2016 PP manual. Full custom build - DIY Time Attack

    This is a spectacular build. Those tires alone have me drooling.. I'm getting some 200 TW versions instead but man you dont play around. The new Pistons and rods are also very nice. And the header work well thats $$$ custom work and i can only wish i had the skillz.

    Got new Apex forged wheels - 18x11 need S197 spacer ideas w my cortex struts. 315/30/18

    So 'technically' i could run the 18mm spacer since i don't plan on doing more than -3.5 of camber. (i know there is no way for you to know this answer lol). Is there a negative to running the 25mm spacer?

    Got new Apex forged wheels - 18x11 need S197 spacer ideas w my cortex struts. 315/30/18

    I see thanks Mad Hatter.. so by using the 25mm spacers i can get more camber out of them!! nice 4.5 is insane but still.. that's what i'll do then. what about the rears what spacer did you need (assuming you have the same normal coilover rear setup)..

    Exactly, this has 'China Syndrome' movie vibes.. back then corporate thugs running whistleblower's off the road was a normal occurrence.
