Winter upgrades for 2016

I bit the money tree and picked up the whole front kit the other week. They said it should all be here within the next few days. When it is all here I will post some pic's so you can see what all this stuff looks like. It did come in for under $2000 so now I will have more room under the hood for my next killer engine combo.... look out this one will be super bad...I hope???.....Rich

Is that under 2k with the disk brakes?

P.S. good luck on your build
 
don't remember for sure.

I know that it does give me everything for a mustang setup. We will have to see what all comes, as my mind has been on OVERLOAD of late with everything else going on... I will post what all is in this package as soon as it is here.....Rich

I don't plan on running anything other than a 3.8 but I already have a qa1 coil over suspension up front to work hand in hand with the aje setup. I pulled all the power steering stuff and I'm having a shorter line made for the power steering high pressure side.
 
correctted the number

here is the number for you 812-346-7356 ask for Anthony.. hope this helps you.. they also have other front end stuff if you ask about it.. I have gotten a few "K" members from them and every time they were simple to put in and did work well....Rich

some how I posted the number for child services ??? don't ask me how I know that but heck I don't even live in that state....Rich the correct number is now in the post...
 
I know I called...

Lol! I'm glad I did not call yet.

I called today to get my shipping update and as luck would have it I called during lunch hour and got a recording. I tried twice and then re looked up the number to find I hit a wrong key when I put that up...lol. Oh well my stuff should be here mid week or so they said.....Rich
 
I pmd Jim on Thierry Facebook site. As I said before he is the lead R&D guy so he is very knowledgeable.
 
That's cool I was just letting you know what I have learned while trying to shed so pounds on my SC. The manual seat tracks were a good bit also but I can't rember how much.

What did you use for your manual seat tracks? I'm currently looking for a drivers-side manual track.

I believe an early 2000s Taurus will work. Hey I just wanted to confirm that you remove 3/4" from the front inner wheel hub?

Roger that. I actually removed 5/8" but you could remove up to 3/4" per the manuf. recommendation when I spoke with them. The hub itself is very thick, but your limiting factor will be the depth of the counter bore that remains and caliper clearance for your specific application. You want to aim for a depth that will allow you to use an off the shelf shank lugnut, which will obviously be shorter than the ones that they provided you. You also want to include a chamfer on the hub bore such that the included hubcentric ring will still fit properly. Here are some before and after pics. As you can see, the 1.75" backspace will really sit the wheel outside of the fender. Bringing the backspace to 2.375" or even 2.5" will really make things look better. :)

1.75" Backspace:

If you get creative, you can even stuff a 15 x 10" in the back :D
