I would be nice/ comforting to have some real ford tech's working on my exhaust for me. i wouldn' t mind paying them 80 bucks to do that either.
lowered car, no jack-stands and no jack or ramps = let dealer install it for $80!! It was lame that I had the dealer install them??? For $80 I'd be lame again.

C'mon wilkinda... reading comprehension! =)

He's basically saying that it's lame he couldn't find a Ford dealership to install his like you did, not that YOU're lame.

Gotcha.... check around for sure. it was late July and hot as heck... so when they offered to do it for $80 I was like.. have at it.

Snakebite... I could not get my car up on ramps. the FRPP M-5300-K springs had me so low I could not get the front / rear tires to the ramps. Since these are from H-pipe back..I needed it up so I could get under it. I have since bought new ramps for lowered cars plus I am now lowered 1" instead of 1.5". Now when I take this Roush system off for the Corsa Extremes I can do it at home.

Not to hijack, but wilkinda, why did you go from 1.5 to 1? Too low for daily driving? Too inconvenient or what?

Rode like a go-kart. Was so low you could not see the top of my front tire. With the stock front fascia I had to be very careful of curbs and those stupid concrete stops at the super-markets and such.

Went with Steeda Sports (1" lowering) and Koni StrT shocks and struts and it's not a soft as stock for ride quality but it sure is alot more stable handling and ride is damn good.

Not sure why... but the drone has gotten worse...louder. Where i used to get drone at 70 MPH in 5th.. I now get it starting around 80 MPH till about 85 MPH. Happens to be where I set the cruise. I put alot of highway miles on this car traveling up the East coast and its really getting to be annoying.

Love it in town and such.. Hate it on the highways

Doesn't 1" still scrap curbs/parking concrete blocks?
