this is interesting because I plan on lowering mine to close some wheel gap once I upgrade to shorter tires. Explain more? And which lowering springs did you go with.
Ford Performance. The ones for magneride. Drop is 0.78 ea corner. Car looked fantastic. On rough roads, crossing rr tracks, dips in the road, your lower back knew it. The magnetic fluid would get very hard so there was less give on rough pavement. I have lower back issues so the springs had to go.

Removed mine too. At least it's from the engine running vs thru the speakers like any number of other cars.

Was that the kit with the sway bars and the flash for the MR ECU ?

Got the Mustang safety inspected (good for 2 years,). The rear tires were down to the 2mm limit but the mechanic passed it anyway! laying it up for the winter in a month and planning on changing wheels and tires anyway.

A week before my 4-Day weekend, COVID knocked on my door. Fully Vaccinated, but much better off during this ordeal. After a couple of days, I was feeling great, had lots of energy, but like an aftershock, my energy was completely zapped. So I spent that 4-day weekend on the couch. Had I attempted to touch the car, I would have been in the emergency room.

Blood Pressure normalizing, heart rate dropping back to normal numbers, there was no way I was going to sit on the couch this weekend. So I made a compromise. Paint correct the Front-half of the car. Next weekend, do the other half.

Two polishers, Meguires Compound, and Rupes Yellow Pads. This combination had the best cut with less haze.

Tomorrow I'll polish and add Jescar Power Lock.

Next Spring is going to be a breeze considering how many defects were eliminated.

Pics are absolutely killer! What percent is your tint?
Thanks man sorry it took me so long to reply but I actually don’t know the tint percent. I bought it with it on there but as far as I know since I got it in Texas it’s legal, and never been pulled over in it there or here in Arizona either.

Thanks. Polished by hand. Only took about an hour. This is second layer since I detailed in August. That was the initial wash, clay, wash and polish routine. Takes a bit more time.

Finally painted my Brembo calipers ahead of the GTPP brake upgrade. Took about 5 hours from pulling the cars out of the garage to cleaning up the spray gun. Was worried I would run out of paint but the G2 kit had just enough and it did finally lay down smooth. Glad I waited for a 70* day…. Now to get everything installed!

I got my winter tires and wheels back on today. Had to buy new snow tires. But, it was time. I got four winters out of the Blizzaks.

2020 Mustang Ecoboost High Performance Package
Last winter I kept my Corsa 4s mounted and didn’t drive it when it got below 45. That’s the reason why after 18 months of ownership I have exactly 5K on the car. I have a 2019 RAV4 with Blizzaks, so snow was no issue.

This winter I wanted to enjoy the Mustang more, so I just installed Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus 275/40/19. They’re a fraction wider than the Corsa 4s 265/40/19 that come with the Handling Package on the HPP. Have only 3 sunny miles on them.

My plan when the Corsa 4s are shot is to run the Continentals year round since I don’t hit the track.

Taking about the lowering springs.
Sorry, I didn’t know they did just a spring only option.

I was asking as I am interested in the kit they do which is springs, sway bars and a flash for the MR ECU - I’ve only read good things about that :like:
