Probably my only non-automotive performance post! Seriously, I hope everyone has a blessed Christmas! For those of us who believe, Salvation was born today, there will never be a better gift! Emmanuel!
So I work for a dealership and am getting ready to change my MT82 fluid to the infamous BG Synchro shift II. Our rep highly recommended adding the BG Multi Gear Concentrate. Here's their description:
BG MGC® Multi-Gear Concentrate is an advanced gear oil supplement formulated to enhance...
Yea, but just like everything else on the net, things get blown out of proportion many times I'm sure others have had issues too. I don't have a dog in the fight either way.
RDP has the DSS 800 HP ones here http://www.rdpstore.com/p-5896-2015-mustang-800hp-direct-fit-axles-ra8505x4ra8506x4.aspx I would imagine any of them "could" have issues, as long as they're warrantied, you should be good. Can't believe how many high hp rated products out there have broken or...
I put a set on my sons 04 Mazda6 and they sounded like bad wheel bearings. Returned them the next day and put Cooper RS3A's on it and it was fine. Those Coopers did not perform well on my Mustang, the Conti DW's are in a different league (obviously they aren't A/S tires either). I'd really...
I already have a Lund tune and longtubes with cats. I would pay for a retune if needed. Considering a CAI, but want to be sure the gains are far better than a drop in dry filter (which I have not done yet)
So now I'm between this GT350R front spring/strut using my rear PP shock/BMR SP088 vs Swifts and my stock PP strut/shocks. Thank for another idea......
Add the Kumho PS91 as another choice. Can't speak to the longevity of them (my previous experience with Kumho's wasn't good, wore very fast). $196 plus shipping each for 275/40/19's.
Continental DW tires. Have about 8000-9000 on them now and there's very little visible wear. Very quiet tires too. Turn in feel isn't as immediate as the P Zeros' and I'd say lateral grip not quite as good, maybe the softer sidewall. But way better than the Cooper A/S I tried for one week...
Not to mention the possible side effects of modifying the car vs factory engineered ready to go. Been there and paid that price several times. Sometimes you realize you were better off leaving good enough alone. But the mod disease is almost impossible to shake.
My Pirellis lasted 13k (driving them too far) with regular rotations. I got rid of the staggered fitment at 2k miles. You would probably get 10k miles out of the 1LE tires unless you track it regularly or drive it like I did 20 years ago.
I was thinking about the JBA catback for mine, thanks! I think Moroso makes a Spiral flow resonator that might do the trick. Can't remember if our stock piping is 2.5 or 2.75 though.
