oh. your talking about the moroso. well after researching a little the moroso sound a little better to go with. they are 1/2" shorter than arp which i dont need cuz im running small spacers and the moroso dont need drilling.

LoveStangs88 · November 17th, 2011, 09:07 PM

brakes are lookin nice! please post up some pics and maybe a guide of how your installing the moroso wheel studs

MustGT98allday · November 17th, 2011, 09:21 PM

will do when i get them eventually. i will most likely be using a wheel stud installer from snap on.

Speedstang302 · November 18th, 2011, 01:37 AM

all im gonna do is start them by hand with a lug nut to pull them into the hub, get them into the splines correctly and zap it with the impact...

and the arp's are longer than 3"??

and i do have a set of cobra front brakes but im not gonna use them i plan to run my 15" draglites next summer so i wont be able to run them..and the cobra rear calipers are the same exact calipers as the gt's...but im just gonna use the pbr brakes i already have just upgrading to 5.1 brake fluid, stainless soft lines, hawk pads and cross drilled and slotted rotors..and the pbr's are the lightest brakes of them all

MustGT98allday · November 18th, 2011, 06:38 PM

ya. i got the pbr's in and was like dammm these are light. and yes the arp's are 3.5" total where the moroso are 3" total. and zipping them on even with an impact gun isnt the easiet either. i tried that before at the shop with my impact gun and a lug installer and it still struggled to go in. and that was regular studs. they are really tightly pressed in

MustGT98allday · December 18th, 2011, 03:13 PM

so im back into the build but still working slowly. i actually completely prepped my steering rack and painted it with the pacific green to match my car. I will post pics of that later. I also will be doing a kmember along with a arms, bumpsteer, and front and back coilovers. I also changed my mind on the exhaust. i instead got a great deal on slp high flow cats and i will be putting them into my O/R h-pipe i currently have. this will eliminate me having to continue to swap my exhaust every 2 years for emissions.
heres a pic of the brand new cat. today i also removed my pi intake to be tapped for my second sensor. im a little late on that but i was impatient last time i installed it.

MustGT98allday · December 30th, 2011, 08:17 PM

1996 GT · December 30th, 2011, 10:40 PM

I'm the same, but its the little things that make all the differnece in a car.

Same here! i need to finish mine, i have to do valve cover gaskets because they were leaking. And the rest of the top end, should only take me a night or two. Also have a shirt throw shifter i have to put in also. Can't wait till this summer.

MustGT98allday · February 1st, 2012, 08:51 PM
