I went with the Roush chin splitter... I like the clean, simple look. Eventually, I'd like to install the Boss grill (replacing the Pony with the tri-bar emblem, but retaining the foglight).

Mine splits daily driver duty with my '65 Mustang, and I use it as stress-relief when I've had a bad day (nothing like blasting past a moron texting on I-35).

Someday, I would like to drive up at...

I've always ordered the DWS tires over the DWs (because the tread wear is about twice as long). I've never had any traction issues with the DWS tires, and one set was on a tuned turbocharged Saab...

Well, I know the Pirellis are useless in the cold (drove 19 miles down I-35 to work on one of the 18 degree ice days... scariest ride I've ever had). I was assuming they are supposed to be extremely...

If you want to get your grip back, install some LCA relocation brackets to correct the rear end goemetry.

Installed LCAs (and Roush splitters), now THAT's better!

Thanks!

Ford Racing has several lowering spring sets, and the "P" is one of them (don't know what "P" stands for). I looked through the various spring sets on American Muscle, and several...

While I could handle the front wheel gap on my '14 GT, the rear wheels looked absolutely ridiculous (IMHO).

So, I purchased and installed the rear only Ford Racing P springs. As seen in the pic,...

Good Speed Shop in Lewisville-Denton area?

I'm looking to have a few parts installed on my '14 GT (I usually enjoy hanging parts myself, but I don't like messing with suspension stuff, and I'm determined to get rid of the wheel hop).
