Myblackbeasts - Yes it was, good thing I had some momentum to make it up haha
GDMjoe - you are correct, I never got around to re-installing them when I rebuilt the front end. I'm currently trying to set up brake ducting from the foglight holes, once I do that I might reinstall them. Havent noticed a problem, but idk
Crouse - These are Mustang 2015 anniversary edition, 19x8.5. I got them after I didn't like the amount of sidewall flex I was getting on the stock 18s, and they did increase the steering precision, but also breakaway is much more sudden than with the extra sidewall. I'll keep running them for the time being, but I'd be interested in throwing the same (model of) race tire on 18s and seeing the difference. Rotors are stoptech slotted up front, stock in the back, Hawk HPS all the way around with preston DOT4 fluid (its what my local parts store had the night I needed it). I've heard good things about the Carbotech, but I've been satisfied enough with the Hawk I haven't switched. I will say the slotted rotors helped so much more with brake fade than I anticipated, at the expense of eating the front pads. I'm currently researching trans cooler options, I hit 285 at this event when it was like 100 degrees out, amazingly everything still works. Drained and filled fluid as soon as I got home. My biggest restriction is that I absolutely need to keep the AC condenser, which limits my options.
Peace2peep - Absolutely is a lot of fun!
