https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/improving-the-ride-oem-rally-springs-eibach-sway-bars-members-list.52730/ thanks to mark boris, forum member supreme, check the thread above. ordered the parts online (approx $1000 for springs and bars) and took it to my local tires and suspension shop...

congrats!! that green and bronze combo is amazing! and yes, i also went from a 21 premium RWD STD to 23 GT PE and the magneride and extra power are amazing. despite some newer EVs out, i still love the combination ostyling, features (keypad access, love that thing!) and performance of the...

not sure anyone likes or "is fine" with decontenting. but very few folks buy a car every year. i guess if we did, we'd experience the decontenting (and potentially the improvements like the mach-e suspension) from year to year. having had a 21 premium, i knew when it was wrecked and i...

if you value your time, just get the aftermarket kenwood and replace the center speaker yourself. or just unplug it and live without it. i decided it was not worth my time to go back to ford multiple times (schedule appt, drive to dealership, wait for service advisor to check for dents, wait...

the replacement speaker is as poor quality (fragile paper cone, etc) as the original which is why they fail so quickly. the hassle of going to the dealer, even if it's under warranty, knowing it's likely to re-occur again, isn't worth my time. especially compared to how quick, easily...

yes, had AS4s put on a few months ago (and posted one of the many threads here about it :-)) and it's a wonderful upgrade. great traction dry and wet and increases comfort. pricey but worth it. only thing better all the PS4 but they wear faster. have had hankook ions (relatively low cost...

yes, covered over. more girth feels great in my size 9 hands :-) and yes, heated steering wheel can still be felt through the cover.

can search the forum "rattle" and there's a few threads on dash area rattles... reasonable to check contents in frunk, glove box, sunglasses holder, etc. i had one in the passenger side dash that came on only at highway speeds and ultimately was resolved by the dealer replacing the entire...

finally got around to taking a photo. about 3hrs of taking my time with my rookie stitching skills, breaking a needle, etc…

well, if you think you might ever be in a wreck, insurance rarely covers them. so you can have the stock stuff re-installed and use the springs and bars for your replacement mach-e. wish i had done that when i was rear-ended in my job 1 which already had the eibach springs and sway bars...

my brown cardboard ups box from tasca was also pretty banged up but at least there was some brown paper in there as an attempt to provide some cushion. springs are tough so i wasn't too offended by not having each bubble wrapped. i will update my review briefly, since my initial one was based...

yup same thing happened to me with tasca. annoying as heck. wasted my time with extra trip to the shop to install them after the rears were installed. plus a number of emails and photos to tasca to get finally get a rma# and label, trip to ups to ship the wrong ones back, and another wait for...

i used a F150 seat lift kit using the 1/2” spacers in the kit to lift the front edge of my seats. worked pretty well. needed to also order a torx set that included large sized T50 & T55 needed to remove the front and loosen the rear seat bolts to install the spacer and longer bolts.

yes! often get lunch at a number of great thai restaurants all walking distance from the shop either while waiting for a tire rotation, etc. or on my way there to pick up the car. favorite is sanamluang. love their soup noodles.
