  1. FordPass Isn't Responding

    more like anti-security to have your car beaconing anything in the first place. :) And you're assuming a company that is as incompetent on all matters software is going to keep their backend systems "secure" from MITM or other exploits. I have more faith in the impeccable honesty of Wall St than...
  2. How long for alignment after spring install?

    your alignment (rear) will be useless and will need redoing after the parts install. Not to make your shopping list longer but I HIGHLY recommend getting a pair of rear camber adjusters from Moog (https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=11173197) or J&M (...
  3. Why Can't you upgrade your individually purchased RTR parts to a complete kit.

    let me save you some more money. The cheapest coil-overs worth a damn are from RideTech or Ohlins and are north of $3000. $1000-ish coilovers are chinese *garbage*. If you are prepared to pull them apart, replace the pistons, and revalve correctly then sure, they are cheap parts that come...
  4. How long for alignment after spring install?

    nothing 'bad'. It's just that your car comes in two pieces with a hinge between them from factory. Just like Harley Davidson "frames". The alignment dowels locate the IRS frame so it'll go back to the same place every time you undo the bolts. The Steeda bracing is very easy to install and can...
  5. Minimal Bass - B&O Sound System

    forscan. kill the equalizer. and rip out the dash speaker while you're at it. Ford sound systems are synonymous with hot garbage.
  6. How long for alignment after spring install?

    next/same day. I mean you could go a week or longer I guess. Definitely should stay under 100 miles. You did all the other IRS alignment and reinforcement bracing while you were in there, right?
  7. FINALLY Scheduled!

    Who did you make sweet sweet luvin' to last night?
  8. Why did you get an Automatic over a 6 Speed?

    No doubt. I guess nobody remembered to inform ChatGPT that the so-called regulators don't actually do any useful testing and just let these frauds onto public roads. Hey, if you wanna spend billions chasing FSD pipe-dreams go ahead. Maybe you'll get there. But nothing beats a human brain for the...
  9. Why did you get an Automatic over a 6 Speed?

    Tesla FSD is a lie. Has been since day one. It routinely kills people. That it hasn't yet put you in a pine box doesn't mean it's not going to. Same thing with "AI". It's not "generative" it's "regurgitative" and only SEEMS like it's smart when in reality it's just a random word-fragment picker...
  10. ZL1 >>>> to a GT or DH?

    the ZL1/1LE aka ZLE has spool-valve Multimatic suspension. It is a "committed" choice. I drove one for half an hour on normal streets. I didn't mind it but many find it a bit over the top. The ZL1 is like a big electric motor - torque everywhere. I prefered my SS/1LE simply because once you...
  11. Why did you get an Automatic over a 6 Speed?

    I think an Uber Limo subscription is cheaper and you can totally space out and do something productive with the time instead. :) The tech does not exist. What you see is a VERY weak and incomplete bit of computer vision which is easily overwhelmed and rendered ineffective. Even Tesla with it's...
  12. About magneride

    we could look back at S550 for those metrics. I don't have them. Ford should have copied GM and just offered the MR with NO encumbrances at all, aside from perhaps x01A trim. There is zero reason to cripple MR by hard-wiring it to 'drive modes' but they gifted Mustang customers with that ditty...
  13. About magneride

    BMW suspension team has totally lost the plot of late. I'm guessing it's a bunch of track-monkeys or young kids who think bouncing you around in your seat is the definition of good suspension.
  14. About magneride

    depends on use-case. But let me spare you some up-front angst and wasted money. If you're thinnking coil-overs then Ohlins or Ridetech at minimum. Otherwise reach for MCS or JRI. For grocery-getter the Bilstein or FP *TRACK* dampers are more than good enough and inexpensive.
  15. Why did you get an Automatic over a 6 Speed?

    this country is doomed. If thousands of Indians, Thai, and Vietamese can shift their cars in the world's worst traffic, I wanna know why Americans can't muster the self-discipline to do the same. :)
  16. About magneride

    MR is not a $1750 option. It's an $7000 option because Ford is just that tone-deaf and HATES their customers by forcing you to buy NOT ONLY a 'premium' trim car for absolutely NO reason, but ALSO the Performance Package. GM imposes no such naked money-grabbing tactics for Camaro - ignoring for...
  17. Why did you get an Automatic over a 6 Speed?

    easily remedied. Life is too short to be a passenger in your own so-called "sport" vehicle.
  18. Why did you get an Automatic over a 6 Speed?

    manual is to automatic as King Charles is to Prince Harry ie. one is the genuine article, the other a pretender that will never be king.
  19. ZL1 >>>> to a GT or DH?

    except the thing only comes with a slush-box. GD it BMW when will you damn Bavarians learn Real Drivers drive STICK.
  20. ZL1 >>>> to a GT or DH?

    replace at least the front dampers with SKU from Mach1/GT500. Doubles the rebound damping. I'm not certain on the changes to the rear shocks but could be same. It is pitiful how bad a job Ford did with MR and also the programming when they had the ZL1 and SS/1LE in their hands to benchmark against.
