Own Work

Has anyone done Springs on there car? Windveil what was it you needed after your springs?

I also wanted to know if anyone upgraded there clutch yet? How hard is it to put one in the new Mustangs? What do you guys think would it be better to just take it to a shop to get work done. I dont know any reliable shops down her in San Diego. I thought about taking to JBA but I dont want to spend a arm and leg on labor. Probaly from there labor I could use that money on my springs if I where to have them do my clutch. They quoted me a prie of 600$ for headers

My garage is just to small to do the work. I have all the tools..what can I say military housing. Do we have a mechanic in the bunch?

I Did My Own Clutch, My Car Is A 03 Though So Its Probably Different, And As Far As Springs I Dropped My Car I Belive 2 Or 3 Inches I Cant Really Remember, I Used Eibach Springs To Drop It. Had It Done When I Bought My Rims

Yea Clutch Is A Pain In The Ass, I Rhode My Clutch When It Was Barely Making Nose Up Until The Nose Was So Loud That It Was Embarassing, The Bad Thing Is I Burnt My Flywheel I Had To Have It Repolished That Cost Me 60 Bucks Right Theyre.

If you only drop an inch and a half, you only need the camber bolts and get a good alignment. However, when you change that panhard bar, you *should* change the panhard bar brace as well. Also, you will need to have the rear checked for alignment and toe, too. I did, and mine was out, but easily straightened out in a couple of minutes.

I am gonna do my own clutch... either a Centerforce like Andy had, or a Stage 2. I have done them several times, and I think I even have the right clutch alignment tool, too. If not, thay're cheap ay any decent parts store. Just for grins, I'll call my dealer buddy and ask him before I tear it apart. Like goonies said, you should either replace or have your flywheel turned when doing the clutch. You should also pop for a new throwout bearing and pilot bushing, as well. Just an FYI.

The clutch comes as a kit with everything. Did you have to order pan hard bar brace as well. Who did you take car to for the alignment? You asked for a 4 wheel alignment?
