What are you doing today Aaron?

I was thinking about whether you had sorted out your motorcycle manifold while enjoying a ride this weekend.

i have not had a chance to put the new throttle cable on, and mess with it. i need to! i could be saving a lot by riding it. i am hoping the wife gets pulled up into the may class for quantico, we find out tomorrow! once (if) she is gone, i will have much more time to screw around with the truck, quad, bike, race truck . if she gets pulled into the may class she leaves saturday, otherwise she is in a july class.

in light of all that, what started as an oil change on the mustang so it was ready and up to date for a trip to VA, turned into me finding the eibach lowering springs shattered, and while i have it apart i am now doing brakes all around, front struts, new hub assemblies on the front, and a leaky seal replacement on the diff. (its leaking from the outside, not the inner sealing part...i must have nicked it putting it in recently?)

here is the springs, forD racing parts are going in instead of eibach:

WTF w/ those springs???

It's as if your 'Stang is out endurance racing on a bumpy track.
... Actually -real- race parts would not break like that, and they would have be found BEFORE that happened to them..

I had thought Eibach had a decent reputation.
Engineering and metallurgy of a spring that fits certain parameters is not quantum mechanics.
