I am finally going back to having a manual in my daily driver. It has been too long.
To answer your question though.. It would really depend on the length and type of driving for me. My drive is not so bad, only 25 miles of open highway (80-90% of the time). There is the occasional traffic...

Listed at Ford Performance as 50 State Legal.
Just for reference, the 2018-2019 model is 50 State Legal as well.
I'm wondering what others have paid for this SC kit and how much was charged for installation.
My car is due within 2 weeks (tentatively) and I am looking to make arrangements to have this SC kit installed. I am just trying to gauge what a fair price for the kit and installation would be?
It may also be your strut mount. For reference, American Muscle created a promo video to sell the Ford Performance strut mounts for the S197 Mustang. Granted your Mustang is a 2016, but the issues described in the video still applies to most/any vehicles with struts.

My personal preference is to have a manual transmission in my sports cars. I just love the feel of it. Also with my short attention span, having to manage a clutch, shifting and gas, manuals are a good thing. My perception of having paddle or button shifting seems too much like a 90's arcade...
I'm seriously considering getting a centrifugal supercharger this year. Hopefully I'll find one on sale.
I really like the simple design and implementation. Less intrusive and easier to remove, so they seem. Guess I'll find out. Unless whipple or someone else wants to use my vehicle for...
Hilarious :cwl:. No offense. I'm sure she shot daggers at you.
I've learned the hard way to take note of at least 2-3 things my wife mentions through the year that she likes or wants. They tend to drop hints about a month before their birthday or Christmas. Sometimes very subtle.
Correct, the cost to benefit ratio doesn't add up in favor of the OEM setup. I was merely finding a valid solution for the OEM setup. Perhaps there are people out there that have already purchased the OEM spare kit and cannot return it. This at least provides them one more solution...
From what I've found.
Ford spare tire kit: FR3Z-1K007-C
Maxxis P155/60R18 TP10676000 26.5" Dia.
Mustang GT w/PP rear tire:
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 275/40ZR19 27.7" Dia.
Maxxis has a larger spare: P165/70R18 TP10672000 27.1" Dia.
So, if I swapped the OEM spare tire with the larger...
