Dustin got a personal delivery on Friday night when I was on my way South for the Washington DC time trials.

Not shown in the video is the pile of other stuff. The sweet two-piece rotors that go with these. His brand new set of monotube adjustable coilovers with an actual warranty. His adjustable sway bar set, using our 8472 two position front bar and a Ridetech slider adjustable rear.

Yes, that's ice. 31°, sounds like a perfect morning to be on a race track.

Headed for the 60s later so I'll take it.

It pays for your parts and setup guy to be well versed in multiple things. Friday was on track in a Mustang, Saturday was autocrossing the Mustang. Sunday, we ought to cross again, this time in a Porsche, in the rain, on street tires, and leave with FTD.

Sounds pretty good too.

First time, straight off the trailer and back on for autocrosses on either side. Yeah the car works for both. Haven't ever been to Mid-Ohio before, I'm not going to say it's the fastest lap ever but I don't think it was too bad.

As always my choice of brake pad and fluid was money. Not a hint of a soft pedal, and absolutely never wanting or needing more stopping power.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Time for a new seat, harness or helmet? Until Nov. 1 10% - 30% (in some cases) off most Racequip parts and we have the entire line. It's rare that parts ever go down in price, and even more so these days that everything costs more, so taking advantage of things like this when you can helps, a lot.

Example of the sale is a RaceQuip FIA Rated Composite Racing Seat
Black - 16 in. - Large
Part # 96775579RQP. That is normally $619.95, now on sale for $556.95.

Strano Performance Parts SP141 Lowering Springs for 1993-2002 Camaro's and Firebird update follows.

A batch of 120 sets are currently in powdercoating, and will be shipping to my shop ASAP when completed, which is looking like the next 10-14 days. Roughly 20 of those sets are spoken for so we will have a good number left on this run when they arrive.

Now, here is the breaking news part, I want to address this upfront and quickly. Hyperco Springs will be shutting their doors at the end of 2026. I have no intention of not continuing to make the SP141 springs as long as there is a demand, and have changed suppliers once before. So while Hyperco will be no more, I will do my due diligence to find another supplier *WHO I TRUST TO MAKE THE PRODUCT* vs. the cheapest one, which is what many others have chose to do. The design of the springs will not change, and they will never be some rebranded copy of someone else's spring!!!! In fact I decided to rework my own Camaro, and put SP141 and Koni's on it because it is a better tool to take customers for rides in and show them what it can do than Penske shocks the majority will never want to spend money on!

Congratulations are order to Brayden O'Banion for winning the Ford Fest Grand Championship in the Late Model class!

Thank you for trusting Strano Performance Parts for your car's needs. Coilovers, in this case a hybrid setup of Ridetech front with Strano spec Penske 7500 rear shocks (same as my own), a 35mm Adjust sway bar in front and a Strano Performance solid 22mm 3 postion custom rear sway bar we make for serious folks.

A quote from my friends over at PhasedApproach.com, have said this many times, so it's nice to see when others explain it.

From my standpoint, I will point to this the next time I get someone who wants the easy answer. The just sell me something, why does this matter guy. It matters because how well or poorly your stuff works reflects on me. Happy customers tell some others, unhappy ones bitch and make a lot more noise. AND I'd rather not just pick your pocket for a quick sale.

"Everything is a system. Everything needs to be designed around being PART of a system. One of the biggest flaws I see with people are ping-ponging around and taking bits and pieces of setups / advice from others while not thinking about everything in a cohesive picture, but rather thinking that there's some konami code where if you enter some ideal spring rate, bar rate, ride height, then a massive pace increase is unlocked, when it's way more about ensuring that all of your decisions work cohesively together, and that there's no such thing as anyone "ideal" variable, everything has drawbacks and tradeoffs."
