You really should, makes such a difference. Carving corners with no sway is pretty fun.

Didn't like the idea of metal on metal either. So I dressed the springs in electrical tape where the iso's would go. Not sure how much it'll help or last, but I don't hear any noises from the springs so far. I've heard from some ppl that thier springs get pretty noisy without iso's.

biker would u delete your obnoxious post.

It's not better, but it's not bad either. I would have gotten the HTR III's all around if they made them in 315's. The tread wear on the HTR I's are just too damn soft and wear so quick so I got the III's for the front.

mustangV6_04 01-04-2009 06:43 PM

Why did you get rid of the iso's? To make it stiffer?

To drop it a tiny bit more lol. I can stiffen or loosen the car with the shocks/struts I got though. The adjustments are on top of the struts and shocks. It's that red top piece, has 5 different adjustments.

didnt u have a sway bar up there?

Yeah I did. Had to take it off because it sat on top of the strut tower right where the c/c plates had to go. Also only had 3 holes, had to drill a fourth hole for the plates so it just wouldn't work out at all, sucks.

It looks really good at least and made a difference.

It's not a factory option, it's an aftermarket add on.

Stephen4036 01-04-2009 08:04 PM

none of them do. atleast not 99-04 GT's

and sean all i can offer is my love, i know that isnt worth much. but if i just plan on getting CC plates will i still be able to use it?

Oh that would explain why I got mine, doh. LoL. The V6's do get them though?

What about the Cobra I told you about? I don't have pictures of the Engine or anything, just information and pictures of the car, ouside of the car.

Stephen4036 01-04-2009 08:07 PM

GT's dont get em.. im not sure about cobra's with the super super charger (0304)

stanger00 01-04-2009 08:07 PM

stephen are you sure its a sway bar?

im just going to go out on a limb here and say that maybe just maybe you could be talking about a strut tower brace?

As much as I'd appreciate that, looks like I'll have to pass...lol.

If you plan on c/c plates it's not the strut tower brace for you lol. Thats why I took it off if you'd read. You'll need the Maximum Motorsports side mount style like I'll be getting eventually.

Mine has a sway bar on it?

Yeah I'm not sure either because I don't have pictures of the engine or fully insde of the Cobra I want. All I know is information on it, I just wish I could get it NOW.

Maybe I should take off my sway bar and send it to you before I sell my car.

Lol, yeah your right. He sure is talking about my strut tower brace lol. I don't know he keeps calling it a sway bar.

Stephen4036 01-04-2009 08:10 PM

yours is aftermarket. not stock

im talking about the shit that connects the side of the car to the near firewall.. makes a trapezoid!

Yeah my car has that, I thought that came normal with the Ford Mustangs.

Stan 01-04-2009 08:31 PM

welcome to the world of feelin every bump in the road.. dont get me wrong it looks badass and looks > comfort.. I got the same springs on mine.. looks great

01FR500 01-04-2009 08:37 PM

Good stuff. You'll be able to carve some corners with that set-up (I would know). And you've already got SFCs, so now you need some aluminum steering rack bushings, LCAs,...... just look at my sig and get all that stuff haha.

Edit: Oh and thoes HTR Z III tires are great. Thoes are what I run on my FR500 rims and they have tons of lateral grip. I've got about 6,000 miles on my set and probably 8-10 autocross events. They do get greasy and slick when they get too hot. I had to take alot of pressure out of mine durring the summer months at a couple of events.
