Wow! Greg you're getting a lot of heat for making improvements to your Track Toy.

Guys, I'd like to ask everyone to relax a bit ... enjoy an adult beverage ... and not worry too much. Maybe because I'm involved some folks might think we're doing a major upgrade or makeover to the car ... which is not even remotely accurate. Greg asked me to make his Mustang more fun to drive. So better braking & more grip are on the agenda. Nothing major ... just some shock & brake changes.

The current braking is sub-par. The calipers have too small of piston area, requiring super aggressive pads & it still doesn't stop as well as it could. Currently Greg is experiencing cracking & excessive rotor wear along with constant brake pad replacement. We're going to calipers with more piston area, allowing us to run gentler pads for longer life & less rotor wear. Larger diameter & wider rotors made of Wilwood's Spec-37 iron allow the brakes to stay cool & last longer.

Having more grip makes the car more fun. So we're changing to shocks with my special high grip valving. That's it. No high travel un-obtanium trick suspensions. I suggested we make the car safer too. So we're installing floater hubs on the rear housing & larger, stronger, safer spindles & hubs in the front. Plus some stronger Howe ball joints. If ... if ... if there is room to put a smidge wider tire on the car, we'll do that. But it will be minor.

Now I can't speak for Greg's goals down the road. He may want to undo the radiator cap & slide a Trans Am race car under it. But that is not what we're doing here.

So everyone ... relax, breathe ... LOL
