Going to be stopping by the Ford dealer first thing tomorrow morning.
That's why I'm not taking mine in for the shifter recall. The shifter is working fine so I'm not letting the dealer mess with it.

Did you reuse the caliper bolts or use new ones?

Any early impressions on the new pads?
Hey Evil_E,
I reused the OEM ones. I drove for about 100 miles after the recommended break in process. Not a single squeal so far and no brake dust (cleaned the wheels before i started the drive )

Specifically bought these because of the reviews people on here have given them!

Finished up adding the Auto Fanatic audio upgrade last night. Sounds pretty good for the couple of minutes I played with it before going to bed. Still have to work on tuning the settings. Not mind blowing bass, but a nice improvement. Install was easy in some parts, fairly difficult, tedious and irritating in others. Half of me wishes I had just done a JL Stealthbox, or left the car alone and dealt with it, but there's no denying that it's a super stealth setup, and an improvement over the pathetic Shaker system. Hardest/most annoying part is mounting the speakers/plates in the parcel shelf. The rest is just pulling panels off and making wiring connections.

Thanks for the idea of wrapping the neck of the windshield washer bottle with shrink tubing. Another step to blacking out pieces.

I installed the Steeda Rear Sub Frame alignment kit, IRS Sub Frame braces, and Rear Sway Bar with end links.
I also got finished polishing the whole Magna Flow catback stainless steel exhaust system and figured that I would install
that as well.

18 hours for all of the tubes and clamps. The bodies of the mufflers were already done. Kind of a waste of time as not really going to be seen, except when I change the oil, but something that I did any way....

How was installing all those items? Some guy on one of the FB groups installed a bunch of rear end components and apparently his journey was an utter nightmare. but I think he did bushings and all sorts of things. I thought about the subframe braces (just to spend some money and have a project, LOL), but what did you base your decision on for the sway bar and other items? Nothing for the front?

I've put off any suspension components/mods for a few reasons competing priorities, no complaints on how it is now, and was given great advice by someone on here about being careful just throwing parts at suspension work unless you're actually trying to fix/address something.

One thing Magnaflow did right compared to other companies is their exhaust tips! Nailed it. Borla...take note.

Drove the car out to Michigan over the weekend, yesterday dropped it off at Watson Racing for a 4 point roll bar, seat delete, harness belts, jacking points, and a few other things.
Flew home, flying back Sunday night, pick it up and head to Gingerman raceway in South Haven Mi for a two day open track event, then drive home to Mass end of next week.

Roll bar is powdercoated Twister Orange to match the car.

I purchased one of the spare tire kits from Automotive Authority for my car. No pictures ( already installed it) and it appears to
Be well made and functional

I was worried about long trips if I had a bad flat but this kit really brings peace of mind. I recommend it

I’ll assume it fits in the wheel well ok?

Have you tried using Forscan to flatten the EQ from the head unit?
