Are Toyo Proxes 4 Good?
#5
They cost me about 800 all in all bcuz I had the front tires already. I heard toyo's are good.
#9
Do they even make dish Cobra R rims? Why does everyone get the FR500's? Just the looks.
#11
Yes of course you can that same thing came to my mind. What brand of paint do you recommend any specific place to get it cheap? What about color what color would look good?

Personally, I prefer the duplicolor rattle can over the brush on. I have done about a dozen calipers now with the stuff and usually grab a plastic grocery bag and make a hole in it and pull it over the caliper with it on the rotor, then tape off anything else I do not want painted. Many nice even coats and you get a high gloss finish. I'm sure there are many threads about this, but I like red or black, depending on the car. I have red up front and black in back. Crazy me.
Black makes them look new and low profile, red looks sporty.
I helped my friends do something ricey a few months back... dark green 00 maxima, they grabbed some simple high temp engine enamel in bright neon green and had me help them paint their calipers... omg, so bright, so painful.

Wouldn't it be better just to take it off and Spray paint it to make it look nicer? I think red Calipers and Black rims looks badass.

Man I never thought of doing them neon green, I might have to look into that. LOL.

Unless you want to literally remove the caliper from the assembly and remove the brake lines, then removing the caliper and having it hanging around (not by the brake line!) in the wheel well will prove to be considerably harder to paint, and would require you to block off everything in the wheel well. =/
#21
Looks good, lately I have been wishing my FR500 rims were black. The rental cars are looking good as a collective group now. We should have a white Mustang picture thread of all the white cars here.
#23
Pfft, I've always wanted them I just couldn't afford them. Haha
#24
They are doing ok not the best they do hold up the power somewhat better than my old kumho 275's only diff is that my old ones screeched like **** when they spun and these don't make noise almost at all when you them. I think I will go for red in the calipers.
#25
If the 315's aren't doing the best, then what are? :/ I'm trying to figure out what to do and what to get. I'm thinking about the same rims. What does the 315 and the 15 mean?
#26
Google is still like the plague to you.
This has been stated dozens of times.
But I will re-iterate.
315/35/R17
The first number is the width of the tire in millimeters.
The Second number is the sidewall height as a ratio.
The third number is the wheel size.
So this tire has a contact patch roughly 315mm wide and a sidewall height of roughly 110mm. (35% of 315)
That is the reason you put tires with a smaller second number on the rear of a mustang with wide tires, because if you put the same number the tire would be much taller considering it is much wider.
