Sticky tires for FI

I changed out the suite of rear bushing to SPL and upgraded my rear end and yes there is quite a difference in power to the ground according to my butt dyno and I have a very sensitive butt!

Nice! The Mustang guys switch out every bushing in the back. Sub frame, Diff, Toe arm, upper and lower control arms, and anything else I am forgetting.

I also did the impact bushing, z1 urethane transmission and z1 solid motor mounts. The car is rock solid and if you are sensitive to noise I would not do the sub frame bushings as they will make some noise during deceleration more so than all the other upgrades. I don't mind it at cause it sound like a race car lol. You will also get a whine from upgrading to a solid diff diff bushing too. And you may get some cracking and popping from the SPL upper arms and impact bushing too...just get them greased the best you can. Mine creek when making slow hard turns like backing out of my driveway! I think that sums it up pretty well.

I used them on my crossfire, was able to cut 1.8 consistently with a 12.0, good price and great traction, not an everyday tire, I drove on it for a few weeks, never in the rain but it is a noisy tire

just got a set of them, but not mounted yet and my cars still not out of the shop, but i'll let u know how they are

Drew303 · 05-11-2016, 07:39 PM

so.... went to order some NT05r's and looks like they are sold out/back order everywhere. Anyone heard how long until they are available again?

YzGyz · 05-11-2016, 09:04 PM

NT05r 305/35/19, they stick a crap ton better than s04 at the track. My rear camber is at -.05.

I still need more practice at the track as I still bog or spin out.

Drew303 · 05-14-2016, 01:52 PM

anyone with the NT05r's had a shop tell you they wont mount them? I had discount tire tell me they wont mount them because of the load rating as in the Z is too heavy for these tires?!?
