    11-14 Door Panels

    Is this the boss door panel? Does anyone have the part numbers and the parts diagram lists multiple codes.

    11-14 Door Panels

    My GT is a base. If I was the install the premium door panels with the additional speakers, what would be needed to make the speakers work. It's the factory base stereo with a 4 channel amp in the trunk.

    Anyone have a Steeda tune on a 11-14 GT?

    I'm looking at tuned and the steeda tune seems like the best value for money and safest? I'm looking to go full bolt ons. Intake, tv and cai first then at a later time long tube headers and chatted x pipe. I'm aware Lund is popular but I don't want to spend a few more hundred when it's time...

    Improving comfort and ride quality

    So I am struggling to adjust the rear axle to center it, as I rotate the link arms to push the axle to the driver's side the pivot begins to rotate. According to the instructions it's supposed to remain vertical. I drove it on short trip to see how it feels. On bumps there is a loud thud...

    Improving comfort and ride quality

    With regards to an alignment shop setting the front camber. Is -1 detrimental to the ride at all? Also I installed the watts link but adjusting it to center the axle is trickier than I thought. My concern though is if I take it to somewhere like Firestone, are they even going to be familiar...

    Improving comfort and ride quality

    I did manage to slide the coil springs sleeves in place with jacking up each corner. The car drives much than it did, yes you feel the bumps but it's nowhere near as bad as it was. The next part I have to install is the steeda watts link, this will be the final suspension part I install. I'm...

    Improving comfort and ride quality

    After installing the springs the first impressions are they they seem less stiff and more comfortable over bumps. When I exited my drive way I heard a single metal pop sound from the left. The car drives fine. A short while later I heard the same sound from the right, once only. It hasn't...

    Improving comfort and ride quality

    The strut mounts never popped themselves off so I took them to a shop. I'm about to go pick them up and see how they removed them. The new roush springs are already on the strut. I forgot to tell them to swap the spring isolated sleeves from the old eibachs to the new roush. Are they...

    Improving comfort and ride quality

    I'm so confused. Anyhow I have a bigger problem. I have the springs compressed, the strut top but removed and the steeda heavy duty strut mount will not remove. I have no idea what is keeping it on there. There should not be anything. I've tapped at it with a rubber mallet and it won't budge.

    Take a look at this, cortex sells the b12 kit and it states the drop of the eibach springs and the struts are B6. https://cortexracing.com/product/bilstein-shock-strut-b12-pro-kit-lowering-spring-kit-2011-2014-mustang-gt/ I'm not sure what to say, this is how Bilstein sells them.

    Improving comfort and ride quality

    When my Mustang was shipped to Hawaii the Bilstein strut was broken (long story) I replaced it with one from Rock Auto, same part number. That part number shows as a b6 not a b8 and mine was definitely the b12 kit. I don't like the ride because it's too bouncy over small bumps. Pretty harsh...

    Improving comfort and ride quality

    I have the B12 kit, so I guess it is the b8 struts I have. I have managed to order the roush springs and I hope they help. Since making the changes so far, the Mustang is driving a lot better than it was, the comfort has been improved noticably.

    GT500 Cooling fan on 5.0

    My Mustang will shortly have full bolt ons. The car does an occasional auto cross and trackday but it's primary use is daily driving. Is the GT500 fan a worthwhile upgrade?

    Improving comfort and ride quality

    An update, I have installed the OEM front sway bar, front end links, rear sway bar, rear end links, upper control arm. I think the is better, less noise but not so much on rough roads. It is still not comfortable enough. There is a jiggly feeling on the bumps. I'm going to try the roush springs.
