actually i just looked at the CJPP install videos, their FRPP by Borla Sport videos had the x pipe on the left, which makes sense because that was my kit, and the Borla ATAK catback install video had the revised x pipe design that i had on the right.

Looks good, SlowRed. Beautiful Mustang.

I'm getting my Steed progressives installed Wednesday.

A few questions -

Did you install the springs yourself; or did you have a shop do the work? Just curious how long it takes a professional shop to install them. My shop is telling me 4 to 5 hours, but I can't imagine it will take them that long. The shop I'm using is a performance shop and I've heard good things about them.

Did you have the alignment checked after the install to make sure everything is dialed in correctly? If so, was it off by much?

How's the handling and ride quality? Have you driven her enough to notice much difference?

Thanks for any info you can pass on.
Me and my Brother did the install took us 1 hour each on first front and rear wheel then maybe 30 on the second front and rear. No Alinement yet but it pull very slightly to the right I mean slightly. Ride quality depends if your used to the car I noticed it right away a lot smoother handling idk I don't track my car. My shop wanted 400 for install and 100 for Alinement thought it was for 2 hours of labor to pay for install. Look at CJ video and LMR video for everything you have to do. Difficulty I would say easy to moderate. (I have impact guns) used jack and jack stands

Thanks. I don't have tools so I'm letting the shop do the install for $300. I think 4 to 5 hours is a bit much. These guys do this for a living. They'd starve if a two hour job takes them twice as long.

Steeda progressives have a very very nice ride quality, not too stiff but a nice performance feel

I'm gonna have them check the alignment, and I'm assuming it'll have to be tweaked. The $300 is just the install. Alignment will extra.

Holy shit then that's a long time. I would recommend do an Alinement after a few weeks to let the springs "settle" down where they will be. But $300 is not bad price avg. labor is $80-$100 p/h should take 2 hours but they'll charge for 3

I'll bring it back to them after a week or so for the alignment. Don't want my tires wearing in a weird way.

Found this by my lower grille. Wasn't there last week, and the car has been sitting in the garage all week, so I'm not sure what the hell happened. I'm doing a Roush front fascia conversion down the line, so it's not the end of the world, but I wish I knew what cause it so it doesn't happen again:
