    Albany New York

    Gotcha - I know where you are (based on the GTOs). My dad is a retired mechanic downstate, and we can do a lot of the work and would install plates if I need to, but I will let the dealership do the work on the tranny (yes I have the problem, but it is more of a PITA than anything else) and...

    Albany New York

    Thanks for your response... To clarify: The TSB is number 04-15-6, specifically for the 2001-2003 Mustangs with the Tremac TR3650 5-speed Tranny. There is a kit with a bunch of parts to replace. On the alignment, I did NOT install new C/C plates. They are the factory plates. I went...

    Problems With Ford!!!

    Definately have the dealership document ANYTHING when you bring your car in. Especially when you have a problem and they say it is nothing. This will go a long way if you ever need it. If this was not done, ask around and see if any Ford Dealership in your area has a good track record and...

    Heres MY problems with Ford!!

    I hear your pain... I had my hood painted with about 120 miles beause of an inch long crack in the paint. For that one, I blame Ford paint quality. In addition, While prepping my car for delivery to me, it managed to be oversprayed with white paint, so it had to be buffed out. For that I...

    Experience installing Steeda Sport Springs

    IMO - It stiffened the car, but it is not un-bearable / rough. I like the way it rides and it feels like it corners better. It is a solid ride. I would not call it rough. Hope that helps...

    bought some sylvania head light bulbs looking for fogs to match

    Yes, the Silverstar is Sylvania's brightest bulb. I went with these for headlights and fog lights because, as you may agree, the stang's throw out terrible light from the factory bulbs. Walmart has the best prices around for these bulbs. I bought the headlight bulbs from Pep Boys and the fog...

    Experience installing Steeda Sport Springs

    No - but if you do not have a spring compressor, you do not need one. It took a little effort to pop out, mainly because of the rubber isolators. Popping the new ones in, I would suggest using some silicone spray to slide the isolators in. We did and it made it that much easier.

    DJsZincGT - Thanks for the info. I was under the understanding from posts on this board that C/C plates were NOT needed with these springs. I was planning on doing them anyway, but now am interested if anyone else had/has this problem... 98SteedaStang - We did not unbolt the lower control...

    Experience installing Steeda Sport Springs

    I have to say, this was much easier than I initially thought it would be... I have an '03 vert and bought a set of Steeda Sport Springs. In total, the install took a little over 3 hours at home. (Dad is a retired mechanic by trade, so access to tools and experience helps). We looked at 2...
