I bought my '97 with springs, not sure if the front end was redone also, but now sounds like a box of rox on bumps. Tires dont last long either.

good tips, i'm soon to start buying parts for my first front end rebuild with a parts list from an older thread.

So is the Bentley Continental GT a muscle car?

Mine stop in middle of windshield also in single wipe mode, even after installing a new motor last year. I switch to the first intermittent detent for one cycle. When they stop, I turn switch to off and they return to park.

Did find some posts from '09 that recommend using 6-1/4 (or 6-1/2) round speakers instead of the 6x9 for improved performance. I'm looking more for good sound separation, with some sub-bass, but not a 1000+ watt system. My carpet is out to prepare for sound deadening, panels still in, want to...

Want to get new speakers to replace stock JBL's and fit behind stock grilles. Plan to change the head unit at a later date. Want to avoid adding sub box. Need some search suggestions to get me on the right track. Thanks.

When I got my 97 it had the coil conversion and by the looks of the exhaust system it rode on bad air suspension for a long time. Had a cat-back install done (with 3rd cat delete) to fix the beat up, leaky exhaust. System no longer leaks, but still sounds like crap cause no crossover was...

Good info! I bought my Gen2 LSC with a Strutmasters kit installed, and it has rode like a boat from day one. I installed some Sensatrac shocks in back which did nothing to improve ride. So what's a good link or search for the Addco install? And if there's a vendor here for the struts &...

I like Foose Legends, nice deep dish.

Has anyone had issues with rear alignment after replacing knuckle or UCA bushings? Not there yet, but looks like it could be a problem. Can any tire & wheel shop do it, or is it best done by stealership?

One piece at a time, I guess. I got the knuckle bushings, then found the passenger side inner UCA bushing shot, just ordered 2 today. If any of you have a good source for the correct PBR Cobra caliper banjo bolts , please reply. Also searching for the right brake hoses, front and back.

coil conversion Overall, this thread has been very helpful. I bought my Mark already converted, and it seems my suspension's missing a lot of missing stuff, like perches and isolators, which explains why it rides and corners like crap! I'm still doing the hub/brake mod, and went to Ford...

Your paint looks fresh-Is it a repaint or buffed out factory paint?

Prior owner had bad air ride for a long time, cause the exhaust was beat to crap. So I had it redone from cats back, with 3rd cat deleted and new mufflers. Sounds like crap, and I'm reading that adding an x-pipe will fix that, plus help performance. Aftermarket x-pipes look more restrictive...

Laser's thread has a lot of good tips with pics, so I'll be following his gear swap posts closely. Thanks again for the assistance.

I also pulled back one of the half-shaft joint boots (and made quite a mess) - what type of grease is this, and how much is enough?

By the way, SBcaprice305, your wheels look similar to the 2011 Mustang Brembo package wheels I've been considering, but wasn't sure how they'd look. Thanks for the sneak peak!

Well, referring back to my first post, my main reason for going in will be to ensure the half-shafts are reinserted correctly. Later today I'll pull up a diagram from somewhere for a parts check. It worked fine before I started the job, but with 140k miles there's bound to be some wear.

Shopping for wheels after Cobra hub swap. Ive read that new hubs will change offset. From you guys' experience, what's the best offset for an 18x9wheel with decent size sidewall and spring suspension?

After I finish my hub swap/brake mod, I need to pull the pumpkin cover cause I pulled on the half-shafts when my hubs were frozen on. What should I inspect for or replace while I'm in there? Is there a gear lube better than OEM for the same or slightly more price? This job will be a first for...
