Vapour Trails

A friend has roush wheels with 275 tires and they are really heavy. A good 10 pounds per wheel more than mine.

That makes sense, an extra ten pounds of weight on each rim and tire could make a difference. I am going to throw the original rims and tires on next time I go to the track and see what kind of difference it makes, I will get back to you guys when I find out.

Yeah I guess the question is are you making up the traction w/ the wider tires in the rear to get a better launch?

I went to get these installed today at my local Ford Dealer who deals in Saleen and Roush and overall they seem like a good group of guys. He said he looked at the '07 and saw it shows the same part I ordered for the steering stop already installed, so I left that off and hopefully the dealer will take them back unopened.

Saved me 120$ in labor...

Also to note; this is 18x10 w/ a 275/40/18 up front..

Where do the steering stops go?

Are these designed to prevent the slight rubbing I get on full lock with my 18 x 9.5 " wheels on a lowered car?

Yeah that is what they are for, if I recall what the mechanic said; they go in with the rack and pinion. I didn't experience any slight rubbing w/ the 18x10's at full lock but did hear a little going in reverse? Makes no sense to me other than maybe a weight shift... solution will be I won't back up at full lock
