Input needed, no real confidence in the car

Hi can they reset the height?

Steeda's bumpsteer kit really does help to tame that "nervous" feeling in the front. As for tire pressure, I'm running 32 front and 30 rear.

Since you have the Magnaride shocks with lowering springs, you should have a shop reset your shocks "resting" height. This helps a lot with the weird bouncy feeling which could contribute to the car's feeling of being unsettled.

Hope this helps!

I’m guessing thats a Ford calibration procedure with the magnaride and not something the alignment place will be able to do. Maybe you could DYI with Forscan on a laptop and the right ODBII dongle, or swing by the dealership?

The alignment shop might be able to if they have a proper computer. Most competent car repair shop should be able to perform the procedure. Its just a matter of plugging in the diagnostic computer and reset the ride height according to the current fuel level.

Take off those garbage fr springs. The rear springs are incredibly soft.

For recalibrating the ride height you can buy this from Walmart and it does have the option to do it.

I would have loved to try something else. But it's another 500USD in parts only. If I would have known how much longer I am keeping the car I would go for it.

One problem is that we don't have Walmart in Sweden. Can check if Amazon has the part.

The bolt for the rear camber adjustment is this one if I am not mistaken?

It needs to be loosened and the control arm kan be moved? How much is it possible to adjust?

Thats the correct bolt yeah. You can get quite a bit of adjustment there. I dont know the minimum, but the max at my ride height is well over 2 degrees

I just got this from Amazon. So far I like it.

Change the rear spring with bmr handling and keep the front.

Speaking of soft...

I'll come back with a write up

Soft? However the car was turned off so the dampers were not "active"

Yeah but shows how soft the springs are...

Take those springs out and sell them to Shelby owners. They suck on ford performance nuts all day. They will be very happy.

Buy yourself set of bmr springs.
