Some Help On A Couple Things...

XxViSiOnxX · November 13th, 2006, 01:37 AM

Okay Guys looking to lower my car a little in the front and back and need some opinions on what lowering kit's are the best and cheapest and also adding performance calipers and rotors which ones would be best and maybe if theres a fix to the lag in 3rd gear if 3.73 and t-lok was installed

remember these 06's have hydrolic clutches

Youngin · November 13th, 2006, 06:02 AM

wait are you gonna lower it the same or keep the back a lil higher

itschristorres8 · November 13th, 2006, 11:25 AM

if they make FRPP C springs that most likely would be the cheapest and ideal...its a 1inch drop in the back and 1.25 up front...

HMUSN · November 13th, 2006, 11:51 AM

steeda sport springs

3:73 or 4:10's frpp or motive

and for brakes you want brakes or rotors?

brembo is ftw

itschristorres8 · November 13th, 2006, 11:52 AM

steeda's are usually 1.5in or lower drop...that will require more then jsut springs then for the rite alignment

gonna keep it as it came lower in front than the back so looking to drop it just a lil in front and back but keep the same look and lowered difference like it came..

Youngin · November 13th, 2006, 09:26 PM

icic sounds nice

HMUSN · November 13th, 2006, 11:09 PM

that's not what i meant... i was asking if he wanted a real brake up grade instead of just some c/d and slotted rotors..
i think i know that rotors are part of a braking system.

HMUSN · November 13th, 2006, 11:12 PM

oh and you might want to check you caliper clearance before you buy those new brakes or you'll end up buying a new set of rims.

XxViSiOnxX · November 13th, 2006, 11:32 PM

well the rims i have now are 20X7.5 and i also have a spacer inbetween the rim and the rotor right now so i have plenty of clearance so any suggestions

scubasteve041186 · November 13th, 2006, 11:36 PM

yeah i dunno i hear all kinds of things about brembo and baer but they;re both expensive so maybe just a cobra upgraded system might do the job for yeah.

HMUSN · November 13th, 2006, 11:41 PM

any of these should no nicely

HMUSN · November 13th, 2006, 11:42 PM

you mean cobra brakes from the GT500 right?
i don't think the eariler model fits

XxViSiOnxX · November 13th, 2006, 11:48 PM

Koo i will look into both a cobra kit (note i have an 06 model) and for wilwood i sent them a email since they dont stock anything passed 04 so lets see if they can come up with something.

chevy_killer · November 14th, 2006, 03:51 PM

i would still go with baer......they are some of the best brakes out there right now

232stang · November 14th, 2006, 04:31 PM
