Well, I helped my neighbor this morning change the springs on his Impala. After 3 hours, we just got the front back together.

I had nuttin' to post back in the day because I had no 05, but I was here during the exciting days of spy photos and first deliveries!
That's when my love for the S197 began...

We both went from 'wet behind the ears' to 'brake veterans' in 24 hours!
And thanks for the forum and e-mail help to clear things up.

I know... keep checking that forum, it'll probably keep going back and forth.
I already had an offer from somebody to buy my old rotors! With just shy of 2000 miles on them, wonder what I should ask for them. Or maybe I should hold on to them for awhile. Even though I can't imagine putting them back on.

Tom-
I marked which wheel my OEM rotors go to and boxed them up with all the other stock parts that I've swapped out. For what reason? I don't know yet.
You should get some +feedback on your Bullitts and tires... can't go wrong with that combination.

Well we made it back last night about 10:30pm. Only to realize my son left his backpack, with school books and homework back in Kansas City. 
Oh well there is a few bucks to get it FedEx back to me.
The car is awsome. I reset the computer again to calcualte the specifics from the front door of the house in Ossowatamie, KS to my front door in OKC.
315 Miles
24.6 AVG MPG (Running 80-85 with a/c on most of the time)
73 AVG MPH (Pretty good I thought for several constructions zones, two toll booths and a stop for food/gas)
There were a couple times I had to to run it up to 100+ (well I didn't really HAVE to) but people just wouldn't scoot over and let me pass so I had to haul *** past them.
Smooth ride and no hood flex or shake after I hit 100.
The only thing I think I want to do now is give the wheel wells a good rubberized undercoating. I heard a lot of road noise at times and it always seemed to iminate from the wheel wells. The time I ran through some wet dirt sounded horrible, so that maybe a very soon coming MOD
The car got FILTHY on the trip back.

But of course I cleaned my baby up and made her all pretty again.
Kind of like a woman with and without the make-up Sorry Susan.

Good luck! Bill may not make it to post #712 after the heart attack from seeing post #711.
I put a rubberized undercoating on the rear fenderwells only. I didn't do the fronts because it's mostly plastic.

Not like this is a contest, but I hit just over 120 MPH 
the other day on the Turnpike. The car was just as smooth and had no flex (and this was with the top down).

Maybe I'm just fishing for compliments (or complaints), but I asked about my tires and rims here, too:

Check it out if you are curious what other Ford owners think (there are a lot of old-school guys on that site, so I may get some differences of opinion).

At least you washed her up right a way, good job!
So, how did the family back in KC take to the Mustang?

It dpends on what kind of mood she is in as to how fast you stretch them out
