I poked around the suspension few years ago and spotted toast boots all over the place. Ordered new boots and set off replacing. I did the lower arm on suspension and toe links back in Feb 2021 Just the other day I noticed the inside toe link boots have a fatigued look to the outer...

Terrible argument A heavy iron block can negate the light weight alloy with a skinny driver. No fat guys should use a cast iron bock... for performance reasons im saying.

I cranked like I thought the battery was going to crank out 20+ sec x 3 I just felt a bunch of GT bro hugs in those replies Thanks for the reasurance

Im currently at the building oil pressure phase Ive turned the key on... hit the go peddle and pushed on the clutch peddle and then crank on the start button for 20 sec. Staring at the oil pressure gauge and don't see it move up in pressure. Ive done this step 3 times and nothing. Not sure...

Or do this Harrop set up....

Well there wasn't any clutch/rev drop balance in that take off.... Rev to 6,500k and dump it was his MO. Nice theatre

Street use cars would probably have no issues with rings/boots lasting for ages. I ordered "high temp" version for a couple bucks extra + brake assembly lube. Also ordered JoJoy brake caliber press to seat the new boots + a "4 uncles" brake bleeder/extractor/filler bottle that runs via...

Still have my 2000 M5 (50k miles) and was my first track day drive car back in early 2000's. Looks like a low grip track.

Once I did the suspension I wanted a alignment done. A friend that has a BMW shop said he seemed to have issues with many shops quality of their work. He sent me to a shop he liked. Boy it was not a new shop and in a sus area. This guy was 100 and had to drive the GT onto two ramps that half...

You in lumpy CA and me in flat FL = doable ride height for me

My 5lb fish are actually 4. Alternative facts...

8 inches to the front of lower bumper

The 1st pic was taken 28" from the floor (tire height). A 3/4" piece of wood just sits flat on the tire and just clears the arch.

Got quicker as I got each one done. The 44mm boots seemed harder to seat. The rear outer section of the caliper must get a bit hotter.

Rear is max down

I was noticing the setting you had was way higher than mine.... maybe a few inches? My ring collar is probably about 1/2" from the bottom thread to get a 4" underbelly clearance on stock rims and BStone rubber. Scott thought that was weird how I had to drop further to get his 4" number Great...

got 4 sets of these. I upgraded to the high temp version. Im guessing the stock stuff wasn't a high temp product. https://autobrakesolutions.com/products/2007-2014-ford-mustang-brembo-caliper-rebuild-kit-141-03005-k0305-silicone-boots?rq=yr_2006~mk_ford~md_gt

Im measuring the piston sizes today. So far I know the larger rear piston is 44mm wide so the general rule (info on Zeckhausen Racing site said) says is that boots will be 10mm larger (54mm would be the order size) Not measured the smaller piston as I'm having trouble retracting the larger...

Having a hard time finding out what caliper/s the GT uses. I know it's Brembo but I don't know what the caliper/s part number/s are.

Finally added the Girodiscs to the rears... The OE rears had cracks that pushed me to upgrade But rear piston seals look toast.......time to parts surf or just chat to local dealer.
