I've got a stock ride height in my BRZ, which is 4.9 inches of ground clearance. I've gotten hung up in the snow a couple times in the winter. Never had this issue with my other vehicles. I won't be lowering a 2015 Mustang if/when I get one.
That number includes duty & GST with the shipping (tire rack includes it in the final cost so you don't get a surprise when it comes time to accept delivery). That's to be expected bringing anything across the border. Don't forget you're getting charged in US $, and you'll have to convert it...
I've ordered from tirerack for my last two cars, and ended up saving hundreds over buying locally (even after duty & fees). To be fair, they had a free shipping deal when I did place the orders.
What seats did you end up getting? I'm looking to trade in my BRZ in the spring, and was wondering if the stock seats are ok compared to your FRS, or if I should really be looking at the Recaros for a similar feel.
I had a Camaro SS as a rental recently and I found the hud to be useful, especially navigating around a new area. If it were available in the Mustang I might option it.
I've run X-ice3, Blizzak WS-60, WS-70, and Observe H2s in the past (along with several other brands).
I haven't had Hakkapeliittas yet, so I can't comment on them. I just can't find them at a reasonable price.
I can say that the X-ice3 have been the best winter tire for me so far.
Great info, thanks.
When you create your maps for a certain octane level do the maps take ethanol content into account, or will it just go on octane alone and let the knock sensors (for example) do their job?
I'm more curious than anything, but the ethanol mix in my local area varies from E0...
The idea is to go 50/50 weight distribution front and rear. More weight is required for pickup trucks because their weight distribution is much worse than a passenger car's. Put too much weight in the rear and the front end doesn't have enough weight to do silly things like make it around corners.
Could the 87 have been E10 and the 93 E0? I'm trying to account for such a large delta between the two runs (which is awesome, thank you for doing it!).
