No way, it's lighter. So many misconceptions regarding air systems. They are literally performance oriented coil overs, with air springs instead of coil springs. The front struts are 8 pounds lighter than a strut/spring combo, each. The rear springs are probably half the weight of the rear springs. Compressors and tank are probably no more than 10 pounds total, all in the rear of the car, down low. The front sway bar end links are a lot shorter than stock, so the steering is a lot stiffer now, which I actually like. "Standard" on the EPAS is now like "Sport" was. It's awesome airing up to go up/down my steep driveway, and the freeway rides better than stock.

The only thing I might add down the road is the 3P system that automatically regulates the pressures on all 4 corners so if you add passengers or stuff in the trunk, it automatically compensates to keep the car level. As is, it'll just dip the corner of the car where more weight has been added.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful I just don't know why you would think it still needs further lowering? I'm glad it sits on bags and isn't always that low I couldn't imagine being able to drive it very far that way.

I'm picture quoting the picture police ON PURPOSE, to drive a point (and to drive you nuts... hahaha... sorry)

I'm uber jealous. Congrats man! You know what's crazy, I recall when I got my MGW 3 years ago, 1st gen. It was literally just the shifter stalk assembly piece...the horizontal contraption ahead of it was not part of the MGW package back then. I bet it's SO much better than my 1st gen. I'm jelly.

Tony, seriously... please change that avatar. I can't get over how bad that looks. I miss your green car...

Looks killer and remember, true life players dont trip over haters.👍

Blue Notch

Awesome! Hoping to order one this summer.

OK, nice. I'd consider it if I had the funds. I'd just never go full low.

LMFAO
I was just thinking that too. Going back to the GHIG machine!

That's much better Tony ! So now nobody can no longer accuse you of committing Mustang sacrilege

Mustang Freak

What Tony's back...I don't believe it?!?
I'm really starting to get the itch to get Miss Scarlett out!!! I spanked her on the butt and told her soon!

Today I ordered Steeda adjustable rear spring perches and their 200lb rear coilover springs.

Hope that will finally help out with the rear tire rub

HA HAAAAAA
Thanks Rocky.

That's awesome Gary. Maybe the same here. The snow is almost gone. If it's gone by Saturday and if it's dry/nice out,...just maybe! lol
Give her a smack on the butt!

FromZto5

Same as mine maybe? Sounds familiar. Mines stiffer than that I think

dohc97

Gabe.. do you have a link for that adjustable perches?

Gabe

Most likely, they only make one set, lol.
200 lbs is the stiffest spring they offer

I get very minimal rubbing on my car. I used to have eibach pro springs which lowered my car 1 inch in the front and 1.5 inch in the back. I swapped to Roush springs which lowered my car 1 inch all around and installed Koni orange at the same time. I still have some rubbing, but it has lessened a lot. I may just go with a slightly skinnier tires. I am looking at bridgestone s04 in 255/35/20 and 295/30/20. These are 27 inch tall tires. My MT 305/35/20 tires are 28.4 tall tires.

lol are you familiar with Ed Bassmaster's work? I love his "Would you look at that" videos

I had a feeling you'd do that lol. And yeah, I'm hoping this eliminates the grinding I have in 2nd and 3rd gear. I'm taking it into Ford one last time for the grinding gear issues to see if they replace any components, then this is going on.

I'll let you guys know what I think of it when I put it on!

FromZto5

Ah, I didn't know you had gear grinding. Luckily, I don't have any of those gremlins. What symptoms do you see/hear/feel?

Coyote5-0

at low speed, normal driving, it usually clunks/grinds into 2nd and 3rd. More so when it's cold. You can just feel that it's not going into gear properly

I ordered a new set of tires. After approx. 17K miles the stock Pirelli's started to roar, bump, and ride quite rough. At 24K I've had enough. New BF Goodrich G-Force, Comp 2 A/S going on Monday.
