rear wheels....

[Timspony]

Rob you'll be fine with a 1" wheel spacer up front....I'd worry more about those stock half-shafts and a real sticky tire!!

^^ I know, thats a whole different problem in itself.. I thought my wheelhop was 110% gone after I did the rear end but I was wrong.. It dosent hop out of the hole but when shifting into 2nd it hops a little bit..

Im hoping they last a bit but I have a feeling a SRA is in my future....

 

[Timspony]

DROP the tire pressure!!!!

 

[1BIGMOFO]

^^ What should I be running on the street and what should I be running on the track?

 

[Timspony]

If you have wheel hop on the street, start dropping & experimenting!! ...I'd start at 25 psi and go from there!!

...At the track, I ran my Nitto DR's at 14 psi on the Cobra <---No wheel hop!

Perfect, thanks Tim.

the front need a 1 inch spacer to clear and the rear will clear with some grinding to the caliper from everything i have read

15 fronts will fit with a spacer, NO grinding is needed.

I WANT THE OLD SET UP BACK ON MY COBRA

trade ya some brakes that will clear a 15" wheel

Rob- worry more about the rearend taking a dump with a REAL tire!! those stock shafts wont take a hard launch well!

trade me- then you can get back!

and i meant him rob

but Blue Rob- was your car a factory spoiler delete? and whats with the mach 1 chin?



black rob- see above.

 

[Eatonualive281]

black rob would be better off with slicks either way....they are ALOT better for the irs. the sidewall takes alot of the shock out everything. you would be very suprised how much abuse the irs will take with slicks and a proper rear spring. but i believe he has already learned that irs and dr's make for a very dissapointing outcome lol. SRA all the way. ive come to the conclusion that auto / sra is the only way these cars should have come haha (or at least as options from ford lol!)
