Unlike Steeda.
And if I'm gonna spend $180 on adjustable perches PLUS new springs, I think I may just get a different set of springs and call it a day.
I was honestly shocked that TWO people I spoke with at Steeda were as freakin' clueless as they were.
Between that and TJ ignoring me (apparently), it's making me want to get rid of everything Steeda on my car
Interesting... Yeah sorry to hear that man. Not sure what happened at steeda over the last 3 years but that wasn't what I experienced. And you KNOW how picky I am about customer service. As far as AM, that was a joke lol. What's not a joke is me never dealing with them ever or recommending them to a friend or colleague.

Good luck with your next steps forward...keep us posted.

Ordered the MGW shifter today!! Latest Race Spec design...$186 even after a $300 gift card!! Hope it's worth it! I'm tired of sloppy shifts and grinding gears. Will be nice to bang through gears quicker too.

Congrats! I have the first gen MGW for my 12, that's been on Marilyn for almost 4 years now. It's still perfect for me. However, I do get curious as to how much better the new iterations are over the original. I might have to fork out/cave in and get the new one, just because (want vs need).

You could always sell your old one for a decent amount and put that towards a new one!

Yeah, not so worried about the cost as I am about having to remove the old MGW, then reinstall the new one. I remember how much a PITA it was to get the boot on the shifter. I think I opened the gates of hell with my swearing at that point. Then again, that was 4 years, back when I wasn't used to installing/performing mods as I am now. So it should be smoother...

Well whoever said your car runs better after its first scratch was definitely wrong. Somewhere in my travel in two states and 6 stops someone brushed up against my rear bumper and right exhaust tip. Appears to be all cosmetic fortunately, the exhaust is all straight and intact and the bumper is not cracked.

Most of it will probably look ok with a good buff out including the exhaust tip. But it will still need a body shop to look perfect again. There is a section where the plastic is gouged and paint completely gone.

Unfortunately it's a bad time financially with my gf needing a new car, we are going to owe a lot on taxes, moving...again, so it won't get body shop treatment for a few weeks.

****ing low life scum tearing my **** up.

apparently the boot is easier to get on. Watch that video at 9:30. Does that look easier to put on?

The new one reuses the stock boot. I've thought about changing because of that. I tore my MGW boot putting it on. George sent me a replacement for free since they're not using them anymore, but I never got around to putting it on.

Didn't do anything "with" or "to" my Mustang today, but I did finally open the box with the freshly re-built DSS driveshaft in it, took some pics and promptly put it up for sale since I really don't need it anymore

EDIT: It's sold and going to its new owner in GA

After keeping the GT in the garage for about two months now, I drove it yesterday for a short errand. It was about 35 degrees. As soon as I got to the main road, a Camaro pulled next to me in a traffic light. What you gonna do? Can't resist it. I babied it thru first gear, but shifted a little bit aggressively to second gear. Massive wheelspin. Cold pavement and cold tires don't like Mustangs.

HA HAAAAAAAAA
That's awesome. Just be careful with whatever brand tires you are running in colder temps. I leave traction control on to be on the safe side when driving in colder temps.

I leave traction control on 90% of the time even in the dead of summer with Pirellis!! It's pretty easy to get these cars sideways!

I added some Oracle Colorshift Halos to the fogs on my Rs3. I know many will think these are rice, but I wanted some DRL's on my car (I miss the ones on my 13'). They are yellow in this pic and I have the presets set to White, Yellow, Orange and Green (illegal I know). I mounted the control box in the center column. For the Roush and GT500, you don't even have to bake the lights to separate them.

Now I just need to find some LED turn signals, I'd rather not deal with switchbacks but my Oracle side marker lights don't match the color orange of my turn signals:

I am running on MT 305 street comp rear tires. Luckily, the wheels were pointed straight.
