I didn't like the look of the stance either. It was killing me till now.

Do you think that will present an issue a few years down the road or is this normal?? It's surprising how my 93 Z32 has no oxidation on those parts and these new cars do.

Edit: seems we are not the only ones and that it's not that serious. http://forums.themustangsource.com/f...y-axle-479797/

I would assume it's normal and don't really think it would cause issues. My 350 also had this. Not sure why this is. And my car hasn't seen one rain day either. So I don't know how to explain this. Someone probably can.

No rust proofing as a cost-cutting move...

That makes since. Can't complain though considering the amount of car you get for the price.

I got my car back yesterday from being corner balanced and aligned. Feels great. Real firm and planted. Now it's time to play with the damping. I do have some rubbing issues in the front under hard cornering and bad dips in the road. So I haven't had a chance to push it hard yet. Plus I have to see how the rear sways are going to play out with this setup. I have it set on medium at the moment. So I will have to raise it up some in the front. No big deal there. Here's a pic of the rubbing on the tire. Mostly just hitting the plastic clips that hold the plastic fender in. You can see where the smudge marks are on the tire.

Props to Ryan, Sharif, and everyone that had a part in this at Forged Perfromance for getting all this squared away for me. Plus some.

good to hear its coming together. you are going to feel alot of difference once you start playing with the dampening. on my 36 way i use 1-5 in the front and 10-15 in the rear when at the track. when you play with your dampening, you should try playing with your tire pressure too. its intersting to see the difference between the changes you make and I would wright down what you do just so you know YOUR ideal setup when at the track... enjoy!

I'll do that. Thanks for the advice. I just want to make sure there's no push threw the corners. I hate that feeling.
