even though i had to get back to work i would have played if i had known...having fun is part of life but everyone is too uptight around here...
Sorry bro, being all uptight and shit I was in a hurry. I mean the only reason why I was in the neighborhood was to get my marijuana prescription renewed from can medical lol. I don't get out in that area much if it was me.

No the ride quality is exactly the same as a lowered Stang. When I swept from coil overs to AirLift it actually slightly improved the ride quality. The only weight gain is adding a air pump and 10 gallon air tank.

Finally got my blowfish bracket in the mail!!

For those of you with an MT82 I've heard nothing but A+ reviews on the part. It's supposed to turn the transmission problems around almost A to Z!

I'll let you know what I think once I get it in, I'm also waiting for my longtubes to show up [Cool]

The beta testers used stock and MGW to test ...they said this plus MGW was as good if not better than T56 Magnum XL

Good thing I've only spent on a steeda bushing because for those who bought a bushing and a ds loop probably won't be switching at the cost!!

Scroll up...the video describes it flawlessly. My MGW made things pretty solid, but having both together it's almost impossible to miss a shift. I'm shifting every gear at 5k minimum, and I can downshift at higher rpms with the shifter gliding in like butter.

I'm going to try the energy suspension shifter bushing for the stock shifter. Tons of excellent reviews. I'm used to being able to wot shift my cars in hundreds of milliseconds, so if I can't do the same with the bushing I'll know if a shifter, bracket or both is needed.

That blowfish bracket looks awesome.

Today I installed my energy suspension bushing on my shifter. Man what an amazing difference. It has a much more solid feel, easier shifts etc, & for less than $20

If you guys want better shifting, but don't have the extra cash to do the blowfish bracket, or other shifter the energy suspension bushing is an awesome, inexpensive mod that will firm your shifter up in a hurry

After experiencing a few shifter problems in my 2011 I decided I've got to do something about it. The problems I had were missed shifts during high rpm shifting, shifter feeling soft while in gear, incorrect gear selection.

I'm used to my fox with a hurst shifter where none of this is a problem, & I have a WOT shifter in my SRT and have no problems shifting within milliseconds during WOT conditions.

I didn't want to spend the $ on a full shifter/bracket etc. Today I received my energy suspension shifter bushing. Part #4.1134G(black) if you want red the part # is 4.1134R. Took about 20 minutes to install. Huge difference, especially for under $20 shipped! Gear locations are so much more specific, shifter feels solid, I've only done one fast shift under high rpm so far, but it was easy & smooth. No increase in NVH noticeable.

Look how soft the oem shifter bushing is. This is with hardly any pressure. By far the softest bushing I've ever seen. Softer than a drag slick.

Here's the energy suspension bushing. I pressed on it as hard as I could and this is all the deflection I could get. It reuses the oem bracket too.

Received my BMR rear lower control arms today. Super easy install. Took less than one hour from start to finish. So far on a few test drives no wheel hop. I did get into a speed contest, so it was a perfect time to test the control arms & shifter bushing, both worked perfect. Shifting I didn't miss a beat & for the first time my car got sideways rather than wheel hop, or back off the throttle. The BMR's were $89 shipped!

It's in that tube that goes from the oem intake to the cabin on the driver side

Yeah I heard about it awhile back. Personally I love how quiet these coyotes are inside the cabin, it's a nice departure from my fox body, feels a lot more refined & modern

No, unfortunately UPS didn't get the control arms to me until about 6pm, so I wasn't going to go all the way out there to maybe get 1-3 runs in depending on how many people were there. It's strange it seems either they get my packages here around 10:30am, or 6pm. No in between.

I asked BMR to ship via USPS, they said it would cost twice as much to ship. I thought that was odd considering USPS has always had the best price/fastest shipping for me on small to medium size items.
