I did the Steeda 1 inch drop progressive springs on my non PP '18 GT Vert, and I'm extremely happy with the result. The only thing I'd do different is add the spring spacers to get better rake in the back. May be a convertible specific thing because of the bracing and weight back there. I also...
Hey Mustang123. I'm was in the same boat. Steeda's Comfort suspension, which is progressive lowering springs and active struts/shocks, fixed all those problems on my non PP 18 GT convertible. Wow what a difference. The only thing I would do different is add the quarter inch spring spacers...
MRX, I wish I had AE. But I don't so trying for an enhancement that I can live with every day. FP Borla Touring looks like the best based on what the various forums say. I'd just hate to spend that much money for not much gain so am hesitating. Now if FP suddenly came out with their long awaited...
Hey Canyon Ed. Checking in to see if you are still happy with the FP Borla Touring exhaust? I'm close to making that decision now. I want better than stock but not super loud for my convertible. What do you think?
What I mean is much better cornering ability, front end dive on hard braking is gone, and the car overall is more fun to drive, without ruining the ride. A convertible is heavy and no racer in my opinion. I'd for sure have gone for the hardtop if I were looking at autocross or track days. But...
I did the Steeda "Comfort suspension" which completely changed the way my 2018 GT vert drives. Lowering springs and new shocks/struts. No need for anything else if you are not racing it. The only thing I'd do different next time - 3/8 inch spacers on the rear springs so it doesn't drop as much...
Hey Randy. I have had very good luck so far with my '18 GT getting serviced at Angela Krause Ford in Alpharetta. They also have a location in Woodstock. In fact, the body shop at Woodstock installed my new Cervini upper/lower grilles and did a great job. BTW, Perfect Performance in Roswell...
I have a staggered set of these Pilot Sport A/S 3's on my '18 Vert GT. They are awesome and I don't miss the having to change out tires every spring/fall.
The dealer I use is Angela Krause Ford in Alpharetta GA. I bought the car there, and have had it serviced there - so far so good. In fact, their body shop just installed my new Cervinis upper and lower grille yesterday. They did an excellent job, and it was very reasonable. Nice people! On the...
Please keep everyone posted on your progress with this, and what you think about the change once done. I have also been thinking about this as a next step. Posters on other threads have come down on both sides of doing this mod, as you might expect. My local dealer quoted $950 in parts and a...
I also am curious about the 3.55 upgrade from 3.15 with the 10A. I know the PP cars come with that ratio in automatic. But the percentage of difference between those 2 numbers is not a lot. It also appears that you have to change your entire differential to accommodate any gear swap, so now you...
@UnkTob - you are doing some impressive major surgery on the front end of that GT! Am looking forward to seeing the final results. I appreciate the tips on the spoiler, as that is a tough decision with a convertible. I do love the caliper paint, and I hope you keep us updated on how it holds up...
@UnkTob - That was a really good and interesting synopsis of your thinking, on making your new convertible your own. The wheels you have on order should really set off that great color. I'd like to hear more about that Foose spoiler install, level of difficulty and all that. The new wheels/tires...
This has been an interesting thread to watch. I bought a used 2018 GT convertible about 6 weeks ago, and so far so great. I too worried about abuse, but you have to worry about that from private owners too. I'm in synch with the poster that said he drives his rentals pretty much like his own...
Hey Fresh Jive. I'm close to pulling the trigger on the Ford Performance Touring cat back for my 2018 GT convertible. Is it possible for you to describe the net difference between what you experienced with stock exhaust, vs the Touring axle back? I'm hoping you tell me it is a slightly more...
Sounds like a real winner! Hopefully that lucky driver will bring their ride to this coming weekend's Caffeine & Octane, at the Perimeter Mall. If you haven't been to this monthly event, you owe it to yourself.
