Hi there - sorry for the late reply. The bearings were on back order from BMR (via JEGS) and only arrived by FEDEX last thursday (Australia is a long way away...). Install is due first week of September along with all the other parts. I'll put up a review then :like:
Couldn't agree more. I turned 50 last year and buying the pony car was a bit of a defining event. Because as I said to my wonderful wife 'if not now - when' and frankly this life is not a dress rehearsal. To which she heartily agreed. :)
Sorry for my poor explanation . So if you look at the fascia on the passenger side under the passenger side vent and then compare it to the driver side under the vent, the fascia in my car has been slipped down about 2mm. What I am thinking here is that the rattle was a combination of the poorly...
Ok so I drove the car today over the exact same route where the vibration is prevalent - (drove my wife to work along the Gunghalin Drive extension here in Canberra towards Belconnen there is a rough surface section) and what I found was that the vibration had completely gone - so I think they...
Car in for warranty work today. Driver side air vent rattle and what I thought was a vibration (on blue metal/non-hotmix surfaces) from the rear parcel shelf. Forum member knowledge was invaluable here because I was able to give good feedback to the Service folks. The air vent was replaced. With...
Hey mate
Many thanks for the feedback - really appreciated. quick question. What's the ride quality like. I get that it will be harder at the minimum setting and I'm cool with that - just wanting some thoughts on ride quality for daily drive - long distance highway etc. But great to hear about...
Headers are on the list for next year. Apparently Kooks and ARH are pretty popular in the US - good reputation for quality. Talk to American Speed. I think they are expensive at the moment due to the improvement in the $US

I'm doing my research into a preferred coilover kit for my 2017 car. I like the look of the shockworks set up and I'm wondering (from people who have done an install) whether you need camber plates. I am only looking to lower the car about 30 - 35mm front and rear. Overall opinion...
Collected my whiteline adjustable sway bar kit from the freight forwarder this afternoon. Upgrade goes on with the other assembled goodies in September.
Thats great feedback thankyou. What you did is what I am wanting to do. I'm doing a 1 inch drop all round (using the Vogtland coilover kit) and will (in addition to your set up) do camber plates for the front and camber arms for the rear. Should give me the responsive cornering that I am after. :)
So I am looking at replacing the lower control arm spherical bearings in the rear (BMR and Steeda are the products I am looking at). Currently have the BMR Cradle lock out kit installed, BMR vertical links and I have just ordered the BMR adjustable rear toe links and the Ford Performance toe...

Looking at the next upgrade component - replacement spherical bearings (rear at the moment) and there are two companies with what look to be three products on offer. All good so far.
Am I likely to get additional/increased NVH from this upgrade. From what I've read so far I'm...
The thing that I see is that Ford has generated something like 130K worth (globally) of RHD vehicles since 2015. That is a reasonable revenue stream that would not be ignored even in Michigan. There is a (reasonably) common donor chassis and while I get the argument about emissions standards the...
Look I know it's bloody disappointing (I can feel the disappointment through the internet), but I genuinely believe that more than 700 will come to Oz. I agree that the market is too big with too much growth potential to ignore.
It's also worth noting that there are some serious versions of...
This is the lamest excuse I have heard todate. Dealer floor stock congestion is their problem not the customer. I get that people don't want to make pains in the a$$ of themselves and because the dealer will be doing at least some of the servicing and support (so you want a good relationship...
