Those ramps are pretty scary! I have the ultra-lites and koni yellows and i cannot use the ramp in the front...i'm too low for it.

 

If I buy ramps, I'll do it right and get some race ramps.

 

I use them just fine by backing up onto them and then jack stands on the front.

Just offering a tip. I don't see a need to spend that much on something I'll use a couple times a year.

 

No I really do appreciate the help John, Didn't mean to sound as if you're doing anything wrong. I've just always wanted some breakaway race ramps.

My roommate and I might go in on a set together since we both do our own oil changes and part installs.

 

Anyone know if Sam Strano is back for business?

OPEN!!!!!!!!!! Back from racing, and catching up. And oh yeah. We won.
I am open, I have a huge backlog of messages and orders that piled up while I was gone racing, it will take me a little while to sort through them all.

It was a good trip. My car won both Super Stock (me) and Super Stock Ladies (Shelly Monfort). I'll do my best to get some video up later--but there are more pressing things to deal with.

 

Thinking about the Koni yellows. I have the Eibach pro kit springs installed and they are a little bouncy. Will the yellows eliminate most of the bounce, without making the ride too harsh?

Also, since I have a 12 GT500, I'm assuming I can just use the stock mounts. Will I need to purchase anything else?

I'm considering going with some adj camber plates because my front tires wore out in 10K miles on the inside. I really do not wan't any clicking or noise, otherwise I'll just deal with the neg camber and the premature tire wear.

Thanks :-)

 

1. They should get rid of it since you can adjust the rebound. I have yellows with ford racing springs and the bounce is gone 98% of the time.

2. I'm almost positive you will need 05-10 GT500 strut mounts.

3. Sounds like you need a better alignment. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS get your car aligned when changing suspension parts.

 

Dam and I passes up on a set of 08 GT500 mouts for $40 thinking they were no good. Not using my head! O well i got them new for $77

 

I figured they would because of the rebound damping, but I'm just concerned about compression damping and ride quality suffering on smaller washboard bumps and expansion joints. I daily drive mine and have about a 50 mile round trip commute, with mixed freeway and street.

so, the 05 - 10 mounts are different?, that sucks, was hoping I wouldn't have to buy anything else other then the shocks and struts.

 

I drive 90 miles roud trip every day with my commute.

Any Solid Rear Axle car is going to have a little bounce. That's to be expected. But it's 99% gone with new struts, shocks, and springs.

And yeah, Ford changed the design for the 11+. You can get the mounts for 95 bucks though for the pair.

 

I just got the GT500 mounts and FRPP jounce bumpers from CJPonyParts for $100 shipped.

 

I was just on their site, all I see is the ones that say 2005 - 2012.
Ford Racing Part Number: M-18183-C

Is that correct ? if so, this is the same mount that I have already (SVTPP package)


The Steeda HD mounts sure look nice, pricy, probably overkill.

 

Ordered my str.t's from Sam today. Thanks again Sam for the advice and great service!

 

Awesome! Good choice John!

 

Holy crap that was fast!! I paid less than 24 hours ago and they're already here! Thanks again Sam!!

Now if only my strut mounts were here I'd be calling in sick to work today.

 

Sam is a champ at getting them shipped. It was the same for my sports.
