Never thought I'd ever have BEARING ENVY...
I will upgrade to all this stuff on the Mustang after the August Sonoma event... that way Ron Sutton (I have to include his name lest you guys think I'm taking Ron in So Cals advice for something... hahahahahaha) will have had a chance to really look see at the underpinnings in case there's anything else that should be done.
Again - since lots of people read this stuff..... There's nothing "wrong" with the Mustang the way it is... BUT!! As Ron helps me dial this car in - the speeds and corner loads increase.... and I'm no engineer - but I think they probably grow A LOT as you increase the speeds. I'm going to ASSume that the braking loads increase - as you go deeper into a corner at a higher speed -- which is going to ADD HEAT to the equation... and as I go faster / harder - then the tires start to heat up and on and on. So what's good at one/some point -- it becomes a liability at another.
We all love to buy parts! And we all want to have bragging rights for this wheel or this tire - or this big brake kit..... I've just never given any thoughts to the other little parts that might actually matter. Bearing failure in a high speed corner is not an option!
