That extreme G-Trac brace is a PITA. I called Steeda to make sure it fits the 2020 and they said, yeah, it's a PITA but its designed to be super tight so it works.
She looks very clean.. Most I could do today was to take mine for a spin..been sitting for 10 days.Cleaned itup and put it up for winter
Had the same experience lol. Ask Adam from Steeda. I'm not a newb around a garage either.
Love the PLATEShe looks very clean.. Most I could do today was to take mine for a spin..been sitting for 10 days.
I will be installing mine tomorrow evening. I just did a quick test fit, and it looked like a great fit. Then my daughter stopped by and thus interrupted the job. So I will let you guys know how it goes, and I promise I definitely know my way around a garage, tools and a car. I am looking forward to the most difficult part is getting under the car and then back up after I am finished,
After the falling tool box in earlier post ... well I see a big screen just waiting to fall of that shelf onto your car.Cleaned itup and put it up for winter
Hoping the X pipe adds two of the three (N,H) I can do without the vibration! On a serious note I really don't expect much based on others reports, but if something turns up I will
I hear you ... I'm not a professional mechanic by any means, but I have performed all of my own maintenance and the majority of all repairs on my cars. The procedure is about as straight forward as it gets ... the trick is getting it all to align (on Jack stands without 12" between the ground and the car!)
If yours lines right up the job shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. I did run into the cut out metal pieces inside the outer tubes where the holes were punched. Just need to bend them all the way in and pry them with a screw diver and they pop right off.... otherwise you can't slide the spacers into place. Beware the nuts that come with the kit are designed to bite into the bolts to keep from coming loose and are not the easiest to just thread all the way on. Similar to a Nylock but more aggressive. On your back with limited space things get fun.
It's just a really tight fit but it is designed that way. No magic to it, just getting the bolts lined up and torqued to spec, and of course mine being a 2020 did not have the welded nuts from the factory which would have been nice.
Yes the factory Michelin cup 2s are great in good weather but no bueno for the winter. I switched to some Cooper all seasons. I dont plan on driving when it’s snowing but the Cooper tires are great.
Some interesting info on the Cup 2's by our guy Billy Johnson
I heard somewhere that Ford doesn't even put the PS4S tires on at the factory in Detroit because they get so hard in the cold weather they cannot do the tests on each car manufactured and even driving up a ramp is problematic, they ship them out that way however.
