Clink, Friday is when my Steeda goodies get installed in Valdosta as well.
I am going the full route.

Nice man! How long a drive are you looking at? Mine is just over 4 hours so will be leaving house by 3:30 am ish....

Wife and I are headed to the Gwinnett Center tonight to see Jimmy Buffet... then

Clink are you having yours installed in Valdosta or at the Florida location?

Florida, in Pompano...driving down early the night before doesn't sound too bad either..

 

[Clink]

Well this morning started off good and took a bad turn downhill....

Driving to Steeda, stop at gas station to use bathroom, come outside 5 or so min later to see my car rolling out of its spot and into a trash can by two solid pillars between pumps.

Crushed the can, and fucked up my back end a bit. I'm in shock, I feel like an idiot, and am so mad I want to cry.

Guess when I get home I'll be calling my insurance company.

It's worse than I thought now that it's light out, crease is right on corner of trunk. Fascia is scraped and will need replaced, bumper maybe too.

At least it didn't roll into another car, smdh right now this sucks.

 

[Clink]

I'm in the right place though that's for sure, lots of cool stuff here.

this parking brake is the worst i've ever had. im not used to ever having to leave the car in gear and pull the parking brake. you literally have to pull it up like 50 clicks to get the car to completely hold the car.

i once parked on a slight incline with it up pretty high....got out and started walking away and noticed the car slowly rolling out of the driveway...had to run back and open it quickly and yank it up even more.

 

[Clink]

Yeah man I'm not blaming anything other than my damn self...

But I hear you on needing to pull all the way up, I thought I had a bad shock or strut when I first got the car every time I sat in it I heard a creaking noise I could reproduce by bouncing the car up and down....finally figured out it wasn't pulled up that last click.

Dude.....oh no!!! I am sorry to see what happened to your car:(.

Hopefully getting all the suspension stuff installed will help ease the pain a bit.

Yeah man it's a big bummer but hopefully a quick painless fix, I think I have a $250 deductible which isn't bad but that's a sway bar or mounts damnit!

I apologized to Maggie and hopefully she won't hold it against me.

 

[Diode Dynamics]

Ah!! I'm sorry to see this

Mistakes happen, don't beat yourself up about it. The body shop will fix it up and you'll be as good as new!

Made it home around 8:30 last night and had a great ride home, am amazed at how much better this car performs now.

To recap I had the following installed:
Progressive Springs - http://www.steeda.com/steeda-mustang-sport-springs-progressive-2015-gt-v6-coupe-555-8210/
IRS Subframe Support Braces - http://www.steeda.com/steeda-s550-mustang-rear-irs-subframe-brace-2015-coupe-555-5754/
MT-82 Bushing Insert - http://www.steeda.com/steeda-mt-82-transmission-mount-bushing-insert-2011-2015-555-4037/
G-Trac K-Member Brace - http://www.steeda.com/steeda-s550-mustang-extreme-g-trac-brace-2015-555-5532/
IRS Subframe Alignment Kit - http://www.steeda.com/steeda-s550-mustang-irs-subframe-alignment-kit-2015-all-555-4438/
Differential Bushings (Black) - http://www.steeda.com/steeda-s550-m...ing-insert-system-urethane-2015-all-555-4439/
Vertical Links - http://www.steeda.com/steeda-s550-mustang-billet-aluminum-vertical-links-2015-all-555-4121/
IRS Subframe Bushings - http://www.steeda.com/steeda-s550-mustang-irs-sub-frame-bushing-support-system-2015-555-4437/

This is the first time I've ever done anything suspension wise to my car, David @ Steeda helped out greatly with all my questions as well as getting me setup with an install at their Pompano location with a tour of some badass shop cars and their facility. Everyone @ Steeda - David, Patrick, Matt were great and made sure I was happy with everything. I can't recommend their shop enough to anyone in the area and Matt did an awesome job with everything on the install, even tack welded my Gibson exhaust and turned their clamps a bit to help out.

I won't have a chance to do pics this weekend of my spot on the beach as that will give a good before/after comparison when I put them together.

The car feels so much more planted to the road, even just turning out of their parking lot I could tell everything felt more connected and precise to what I was telling the car to do. It basically now goes where I want it instead of reacting to what I'm asking it to do if that makes any sense at all? I had some open highway and did a little bit of careful back and forth in my lane and I felt completely planted and not bouncing around back and forth in my seat. Almost found myself doing slalom in between some construction barrels but given how my morning went I decided against it.

The springs give the car the look I wanted and make the Vossen wheels look that much better. Nice tighter rebound than stock PP springs and reduces the overall bouncy ness on some of those highway stretches where it feels like you're hitting hydraulics for a half a mile. Also any bridges or overpasses with rough spots where you enter/leave them were solid.

The MT-82 bushing insert is noticeable and I had much easier downshifts for highway passes on the way home, feels like a much more solid shift that I had to get a bit used to in a good way.

I didn't do any hard launches or try to break the rear end loose at all since I was just getting used to it, will report back later on that.

I can't really report on some of the individual IRS components since they all went in at the same time, but I am noticing a slight (and I mean slight) gear wine from the rear with the Black bushings. It's only really noticeable if you try to make it happen and barely push the gas at cruising speed. Nothing I'm worried about and after 4 hours of driving it home windows down and up for a few sprinkles it does not bother at me all. It's not all the time either or in any specific gear so no biggie as far as I'm concerned.

Here's a few pics of it up on the lift, I will get more posted when I have a chance. Brian@Vossen was actually going to drive up, help me clean the car, and then do a photo shoot after everything was on but we decided against it in the interest of time and my busted up rear end. I thought that was pretty cool of him to offer that up.

Nice Clink. Grants. Sorry bout the garbage can. Hopefully I will see you tomorrow.

So glad you're happy with the upgrades! It was great meeting you!
