Now to schedule an install and alignment. Got my steeda springs and sway bar back from powder coating. I decided against powder coating tower brace for now, and just installed it.

Drove 760 miles, in 2 days, across 4 states, for the ST SUV Experience. Tomorrow is the fun day.

Installed my Steeda intercooler. Looks like I had a trainee working on my car on the assembly line :LOL:

Hello all, I'm new here but have been reading through the forums since I picked my 2020 up in January. Finally got around to installing my first performance mod. CVF downpipes and Thermal catback waiting to go on next.

I got 4 new tires today at 41K miles for $971 installed at Mr. Tire using the eBay storefront for this company:

https://simpletire.com/brands/falke...one&region=r3&tireSize=275-45r21&userRegion=3

It was a very positive experience getting the best price possible ($300 less than TireRack) and it was ordered, delivered and installed within a week! Installation was $99.

That tire pictured in the link does give up about 800 lbs. vehicle capacity dropping the load index rating to 107 from 110. The tires will fit but I would be surprised if you didn't feel a looser drive when pushing it.

Apologies! You are correct and I actually checked the tires and the link I purchased and this is the correct one:

1 New Falken Ziex Ct60 A/s - 275/45r21 Tires 2754521 275 45 21 848983027399 | eBay

This is the company's website but I purchased above from eBay and got a slightly better price installed.

Buy Falken Ziex CT60 A/S 275/45R21 Tires | SimpleTire

LOL you had be worried for a few minutes!

Washed it, prepping the garage to install the Thermal R&D 3". And pulled the trigger on a ZFG tune. May end up too inebriated to finish the exhaust tonight, but definitely tomorrow!

Towed my trailer with mower 70 miles to cut the grass at my other house. All the rain has encouraged the grass to perform beyond expectations. :rolleyes:

Got my Steeda springs and rear sway bar installed and full alignment. Top is before… A little over an inch lower all around and, after putting about a weeks worth of miles on it (pics are six days apart, but I went by the shop to keep reference), I can definitely tell it’s lower and is more nimble and tighter in the curves.

Finally got around to installing the 3" Thermal (helps to have a friend with a lift). I had plans to put the CVF downpipes on too, but after 15 minutes looking at what I was getting myself into, I decided I didn't have enough energy for that. I'll dedicate a day for just downpipes when I'm mentally prepared
