    Rotora's Finally In

    Update: These wheel-spacers have a hub-bore which are 0.01-0.03. too small. Wow! I checked Amazon again today, and whudduya know? I found a set of 5x4.5/63.4mm-bore wheels in 25mm (0.984 inches). They offer them in up to 38mm- and 50mm-wide (1.5"-2")! Should be here tomorrow. Unsure why my...

    Rotora's Finally In

    Help! Where did you find these one-inch 5x4.5 spacers? Hello! I could really use some one-inch spacers. Are they hub-centric? (Note: I have the 2012 SHO wheels on my 2019 SHO, not the flower wheels). I'm having a helluva time finding: • One-inch (0.984"/25mm). • 5x4.5/114.3mm bolt-circle. •...

    Rotora's Finally In

    Great suggestion—thanks! I know about TCE from my Marauder days—I check them out! Yeah, I just put some 12mm bolt-centric spacers off Amazon and there was zero clearance. I may now go for a 20mm spacer just to make sure. The ST Suspensions spacers from Summit come in hub-centric, 63.40...

    Rotora's Finally In

    Still searching for a 15mm (0.59") spacer, either hub-centric (center-hole to accommodate a 63.40-sized hub), or a bolt-centric, non-flanged, flat-spacer with an oversized center-void for the hub (making specific hub-diameter irrelevant). Now shopping on the Summit Racing site, I'm now deciding...

    Rotora's Finally In

    Okay, I'm finally installing my Rotaras front/rear and also have clearance issues when fitted to 2012 SHO wheels (mounted on my 2019 SHO), but I'm having a helluva time figuring out which spacers fit. I got 6mm "slip-in" spacers but there still isn't enough clearance. I doubled them up just to...

    802SHO 2010 Build

    Oh, duh! Thanks again! OT: I just got an engine-check light for the air-intake sensor. Have you upgraded your air-intake sensor or anything related? My SHO has (since I got it at 15K) this weird stop-start behavior on initial acceleration (i.e., on slow acceleration, the acceleration is very...

    802SHO 2010 Build

    Awesome! Thank you very much for the help! FYI: I put 2012 Ford factory SHO wheels (powedercoated black) on my 2019 SHO PP (which I'm guessing is the same ID as the 2019 factory wheels). Is there another dimension spec'd for the spacers? I just searched NAPA for "caliper spacers" and one set...

    802SHO 2010 Build

    802SHO: I also bought the Rotora calipers, front and rears, for my 2019 SHO PP. I haven't installed them yet because I thought we needed some kind of "spacer" and didn't know which one(s) were required. Is the Rotora kit as-delivered, plug-and play with my 2019 SHO; i.e., no spacers required...

    Talk to me about suspension upgrade paths/options

    Hmmm . . . I dunno. I definitely ordered the ones for the 2019 SHO. Sounds kinda fishy now that you mention the differences in the Flex, but I was anxious to get them on the car and the shop figured it out anyway.

    Best power-adder up to $10K? Increased displacement and/or larger, upgraded turbos?

    I had planned to buy a much faster car, but I wanted a SHO. So my rationalization is that I'm able to spend the difference to make my humble SHO as fast as a five-point-oh. What is the best power-adder up to $10K? Increased displacement and/or upgraded, larger turbos? Need to consider...

    So what did you do to your SHO today!?

    Any idea what kind of HP/torque increase this provides? And would this fit a 2019 SHO PP?

    Talk to me about suspension upgrade paths/options

    No problem—thanks! I'll just add them later. I had some gorgeous Metco billet-aluminum rear control-arms for my Marauder. Wish I had 'em for the SHO as well. I literally shredded the factory stamped-metal control-arms at something like 70K miles.

    Talk to me about suspension upgrade paths/options

    I love them! Caution: HUGE amount of drone on my otherwise unmodified exhaust. I would recommend a Hemholtz resonator to tone them down. From about 1,500-2,300RPM, the drone is insanely there. But of course, I don't particularly mind! My only complaint is that they could be louder, but they add...

    So what did you do to your SHO today!?

    Hmmm . . . well that sounds like a vote for H&Rs, then. My SHO only has 15,*** miles. The demonstrator in the video seemed totally unaffected by the H&Rs, again, commenting on the "smooth" ride of the H&R'd SHO he was test-driving. If I really hate them, I suppose I can just pay have them go...

    So what did you do to your SHO today!?

    Congrats! Very interested to hear your take on those. I just watched a YouTube video on a SHO with the H&Rs, and the reviewer commented that the car drove very smoothly. Made me want to consider getting those again.

    Rotora calipers: Which color would you choose?

    I'll make you guys a deal. I'll buy them for my wife (they cost $700!), and take a photo of her legs in the car (the same ones in my profile pic). I have a valid excuse . . . they don't come in my size!

    Rotora calipers: Which color would you choose?

    Decided! Ordered Rotora F/R calipers in dark metallic blue with 380mm 3D-drilled discs, with assistance from 802SHO and Loren from Rotora—much appreciated! Reasons for color-choice: • Rotora said it's a "Raptor" blue. • Reminiscent of Ford Racing accessories' color-palette. • GF chose blue...

    So what did you do to your SHO today!?

    Hey, guys—I'm on the phone with Loren right now at Rotora. Just a quick question: Not sure what size brakes/discs fit my Gen.4 2019 SHO PP. Note that I have the 2012 SHO factory wheels mounted. Larson told me 802SHO ordered a larger set [380mm as mentioned above] than listed in the table...

    Great HID Upgrades

    Yeah, I've just been searching for a quality LED-replacement and not another cheap Chinese-import sold under 17 different brand-names, all made in the same factory that's gonna break in three months. These seem like the real deal, claiming US-based manufacture and R&D. I like that they're spec'd...

    Dream car: Lamborghini, Porsche, or . . . ?

    Yes, yet another model in the "last gas vehicle to be produced" category, a growing trend I find quite distressing. Mercedes says 2023 is the last model year for the super-sedan (with hybrids to follow). At $177,963 (AutoNation, Torrance, CA), I won't be running to the dealership to grab one...
