Mach 1 Guys, Part ?s

Molitor · January 7th, 2010, 01:13 AM

hey ya'll

So I'm looking at gettin some more parts

-Steeda Three Point Strut Tower Brace (03-04 Mach 1)
-Maximum Motorsports Full Length Subframe Connectors (94-04) - Powdercoated Black
- Swarr Bar Mustang 8.8in Rear Support (86-04)

Is there any cutting, drilling, and or welding for these parts off AM? I know welding in the Subframes helps alot, but other then that is it a direct bolt on?

And my car only has 22k miles, will I need all the following to do my rear end or is it smart to do it anyway?

-Ford Racing Gears - FRPP Mustang 4.10 Gears (8.8in)
-Motive Bearing Kit (8.8in)
-Ford Racing 8.8" Traction-LOK Rebuild Kit w/ Carbon Discs

I hear that NGK Iridium IX Performance Spark Plugs are the best you can get, is this true? I'm looking at a few other things, but those I can handle. If anyone has bought any of these from AM please let me know what you think of them.

Mach Boy · January 7th, 2010, 01:46 AM

You can't use the brace with the JLT CAI you have.

Molitor · January 7th, 2010, 01:52 AM

oh yes, I was gonna ask that and thank you, it cant be modded at all to work?

Mach Boy · January 7th, 2010, 02:23 AM

From what I've heard, no.

Molitor · January 7th, 2010, 02:57 AM

okay, thanks man, reps for info

F8L GT · January 7th, 2010, 03:32 AM

even though your car has 22k, i would still do the full bearing kit like you have. your already in ther so it would be cheap insurance

M.P. Cobra Fan · January 7th, 2010, 07:26 AM

All excellent parts choices in my opinion. The only thing that will require welding is your subframes. Like said by F8L, I would recommend doing the bearing kit as well. While you have everything out, you might as well.

Molitor · January 7th, 2010, 07:41 AM

So they do have to be welded? dang, cuz I dont wanna have to pull up my carpet

M.P. Cobra Fan · January 7th, 2010, 07:49 AM

You can buy bolt in ones, but they do not stiffen it up anywhere near a weld in.

Molitor · January 7th, 2010, 07:54 AM

yeah I know that, I though this was a bolt on one?

You don't necessarily need to pull your carpet...

M.P. Cobra Fan · January 7th, 2010, 08:37 AM

Nope. Those are the same ones I have. Part of it bolts in, but you weld in the rest. And like lefty said, you do not have to pull your carpet if you have a person who is a good welder and not just throwin tons of heat at it. We did not pull mine.

Lefty · January 7th, 2010, 08:41 AM

^Yep. Just make sure you're good at welding and/or have a welder who know's what they're doing.

Molitor · January 7th, 2010, 08:42 AM

do you like yours? I can weld pretty good, Ive welded a Frame for a High MPG car for a class once and a bunch of other small projects. and reps for the help

M.P. Cobra Fan · January 7th, 2010, 08:50 AM

I love mine. I really noticed how stiff the car was when I tried to pull in to my driveway at my house in Tampa and the rear tire lifted from the ground!

It is a sloped driveway and I have to go in at an angle to avoid scrubbage or the front lip.

M.P. Cobra Fan · January 7th, 2010, 08:51 AM

Oh and reps returned.
