    Steeda vs H&R vs Eibach decision

    I just ordered a set of Eibachs to replace my Steeda springs. While I liked the ride the rears are pretty much completely rusted in just short of three years. Fronts are still good. I’m getting ready to do shocks and struts and I saw the springs. I’ll try to get some before and after pics and...

    3" Thermal vs. AWE?

    Awesome! I don’t think there is any advantage to any of the exhausts other than better sound….or you are running 700hp lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Single click sound?

    Lubing the splines never hurts imo. That was a standard maintenance thing on my company trucks. I’ve seen them bone dry before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Huh, I’ll have to check that out. The time I tried it I could only get it to change stations. Granted I spent a minute or less. Thanks for that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    FS FS: Thermal 3” exhaust

    Very little difference down low. When I would just normally accelerate like half pedal, it would start to get annoying above 2000-2500 with higher frequencies, like ricer-ish sound if that makes sense. Sounded like I was racing with normal driving. What I love about the Thermal is a lot of the...

    FS FS: Thermal 3” exhaust

    These. You could also fit the larger canister type vibrant if you wanted it a little more quite than these. They took the higher annoying frequencies from the DPs away but kept the other goodness imo. Vibrant Performance 1792 Bottle...

    built in hard drive

    I don’t think so. I’ve had a couple cars with one and you could always rewind Sirius and FM. Don’t know for sure on the st. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    FS FS: Thermal 3” exhaust

    My wife hated my thermal 2.5 after I put SPD down pipes on. Just too loud for around town driving. She didn’t mind it before the down pipes with just the thermal. Got to the point she hated trading cars when I worked on hers. I put a couple Vibrant resonators and it brought it down to the pre...

    Best tires and rim size for racing

    Keep us posted. Always like hearing about what people do with their vehicles! Not gonna lie, I have been very impressed with the performance of my ST. While I haven’t been on a road course with it, I feel like it is reasonably close to my CTSV in handling which was a much more purpose built...

    Best tires and rim size for racing

    +1 on instruction if little experience. Not only seen people not last the day but also saw people wreck their cars because they didn’t know what they were doing. I had classroom sessions and instructor ride alongs. But to be honest, I learned the most when I asked my instructor to flog my Caddy...

    Best tires and rim size for racing

    Agree on cornering speed for sure. Didn’t even think about the height restriction although it makes sense. Heck, my CTSV was setup for track use lowered with stiff sway bars and it was still a pig in the corners at over 4klbs. ST has to have a higher center of gravity and all the weight. I’ve...

    Joining the cool kids!

    Agree with that. Between some of their quality issues and then this it definitely makes you want to support somebody else. The free market usually takes care of things like that. Back when I bought mine Steeda was one of few aftermarket options for the Explorer. Not any more, that’s for sure...
