Stick all the way. Yes a dual clutch (or the current automatics are faster).. but you don't have that visceral connection to the engine. Had a 488GTB... same thing. Takes a ton of the driving experience away. Go look at Porsche... there are BIG premiums on cars with manual over dual...
I bet it's the GPS speed measurement and the tire circumference that don't jive resulting in the loss of the cruise control and crash avoidance. Some people here said you could compensate using Forscan as you can enter in the tire circumference but I don't have Forscan and am not aware (like...
A dual rate spring has exactly what that means two different rates, on each portion of the spring.
Think of motorcycle shock that has multiple springs on it separated by spacers. Each one has a different stiffness. The The lightest one compresses first until it coil binds then the next softest...
Won't change the spring rates (it's a dual rate spring but since it's coil bound, it's effectively a single rate spring since the bound coils are essentially a spacer). But It may seat the spring differently which if not seated properly would be an issue.
Maybe the spring rates are different? Something looks wrong because of the apparent coil binding with the car not even moving. Never seen a spring setup like that on a street car.
Flipping the spring over won't address a coil bind issue. It's still the same weight compressing the spring.
Searching that P/N and this is what I find:
The CM-5560-YA part number refers to Ford Performance Rear Track Lowering Springs designed for 2015-2023 Mustang GT and EcoBoost Fastback...
So I don't understand. If the car is in the air, the springs would be extended. The picture shows the top 6 coils of the spring in what appears to be coil binding. Even if they were slightly not touching each other statically... when the car is driven, they are going to touch.
I would use...
If they are in coil bind, the spring will prematurely fail. From the pic, it's hard to imagine the spring not being in coil bind pretty much continuously.
If you have a lot of big braking zones (which it sounds like you do) ....you should not only do the ducts (and the control arm diverters) but the larger front DH brake calipers and rotors. These cars are very heavy... and while the front brakes are nice 4 piston Brembos, the rotors are on the...
Are you talking about big willow? Not much braking there except going into turn 1 and 3 ... so if you're over heating your brakes there you might want to first explore the brake ducting and control arm air diverters.
Then going to the larger DH front rotors and the larger front Brembo 6...
A Valentine 1 user forever... While the gen 2 may be better... I want the simple functionality of the v1. The dual knob simple setup. I don't want to screw around with getting my phone connected bla bla bla.
Can the V2 be used as simple as the V1?
I didn't ask. I was offered a refund, but told them that if they actually have the part in stock, I'd rather have it than the refund. I got it.
I was initially dealing with a guy that handles "internet sales". He probably shouldn't be in that position. I called and got a woman (Spring is...
