Do you have a sound clip of your exhaust setup? I have the Borla S-Type catback installed and I did not know they made an H pipe until your post. You have me considering purchasing the H-pipe and switching it out.
Earlier this week my dad and I took a trip to the Smoky Mountains to drive our cars.
Day 1 Route: Cherohala Skyway, Moonshiner 28 from Tail of the Dragon to Franklin, NC, Wayah Rd, and finished on Cherohala Skyway.
Lunch: Tapoco Lodge
Dinner: Blackhorse Brewery in Alcoa, TN
Day 2 Route...
I installed Steeda Magneride sport springs on my car. I saw this video after I completed the install and I agree with GhastlyTT. Steeda's method is more destructive than necessary. I pulled the dust guard down to expose the bump stop and trimmed the bump stop with a razor knife. It was certainly...
I have a race red Mustang with the red calipers. I’ve had a few chips in my calipers and use the race red paint code and purchase touch up paint from Dr. colorchip.
I jacked my car up from the rear and put jack stands in the rear. This allowed additional working room to install the jacking rails. I used a utility knife to cut the underbody covers.
Overall, I’d say it’s slightly bumpier, but nothing to worry about. Honestly, my main goal with the lowering springs were for aesthetics followed by the performance of the springs. I don’t have many twisty/curvy roads where I live so I haven’t had a chance to really test it out.
I did not retune...
I am absolutely no photographer so I do not believe I captured the best angles or had the best lighting. Below is a list of modifications done to the car so far.
- Steeda sport Magneride lowering springs
- Steeda stop the hop starter kit
- Steeda front and rear sway bars
- Velgen VF5 in brushed...
I'm not supercharged, but I am running Velgen VF5 with 275/35/20 and 305/35/20 with Steeda Progressive magnaride springs. I have not put a ton of miles on with this combo as I just finished the install, but I have not noticed any rubbing on the fenders (knock on wood).
I had the exact same question as you based on the instructions stating the springs were labeled. I just did this install a couple of weekends ago on my magnaride mustang and you can't mess it up. As you stated, the coils are in different directions and can only be placed on the car one way. The...
I did install Steeda camber plates and told them that when I had the alignment performed.
In the rear, I installed Steeda stop the hop starter kit while I had everything apart. I also installed Steeda front and rear sway bars.
I just lowered my Magneride Mustang with Steeda sport progressive Magneride springs. You just have to make sure whatever brand lowering springs you purchase is the Magneride specific spring. Other than that, there’s nothing special and doesn’t require anything to be recalibrated.
Front spring didn’t seem sketchy with this method? You hear so many conflicting stories. People either don’t sweat doing this or absolutely won’t do it.
What style/brand spring compressor did you purchase? I have the springs in my basement and it is getting warm enough that I want to install them soon. I am back and forth on buying my own spring compressor versus having a shop swap the springs.
