same. i didn't like the dual rate steeda springs and then when i got the minimum drop springs they weren't level so i had to make a spacer for one corner in the front. i wish i would have gone with BMR and koni or bilstein struts.
Dang really? Not sure if dual rate is the same thing as their progressive springs. But loving my progressive springs fro. Steeda. But I suppose not every spring will fit everyone.

I installed the magentic paddle shifters and so far I really like them - I'll see if I regret it in the future. I'm hoping that the chinesium components don't fail or that the clicky clack doesn't become too cliche!

I only use the paddles for track driving anyways, so it will probably serve it's purpose well - here is a test video I did on the backroads:
I need to Google those more. But I got a few dozen Cherry switches from keyboards I might try to wedge behind the paddles now.

heh a good comparison between OEM paddles to the magnetic ones would be like going from low profile laptop keyboard to cherry mx blues/browns.

I’m on cherry red equivalents now but for many years on blues, browns and greens to the dismay of others around me LOL

I’ll share an official review once I actually use them on track but I like how the new paddles sit further away from the steering wheel. I can get more of my fingers around the steering wheel compared to OEM where the paddle block some space.

Getting them further away from the wheel might be worth it in and of itself, I fat finger the paddles too often during autocross. Have a link for where you got them?

I agree, and have done the same with the OEM paddles. I'll hold final judgement until I have more time with them and test them on track.

Mine are TDD branded - got them off Aliexpress, Alibaba or Ebay. Don't remember exactly as it was over a year ago.

They're probably all coming from the same factory, but I've linked below one from ebay and one from Aliexpress as examples. There are tons of options if you google "Mustang Magnetic paddle shifters".

Ebay

Aliexpress

Be warned, removing the airbag took me over an hour while cursing due to the spring release design. Make sure you have a 3-4mm thick allen key that is FLAT ended and long, or a perfectly sized flathead screwdriver. Once airbag is out, it was a breeze.

China metals. Doesn't matter if it's manufactured, built in the united states.
Probably something like that. I purely am a BMR and Ford Perfomance customer and haven’t looked back.

I regret lowering a previous GT I had with Eibach Pro kit springs. I didn't like the stance or ride. Granted I made the mistake of not switching out the worn shocks. I'm sure it would of rode alot better.

I like deer…thinly sliced, lots of pepper 😬
Tip: marinate venison in a 50/50 mix of Italian salad dressing and 7up for 24 hours, then grill (don't rinse off the marinade). Excellent.
