Bought a new (to me) Mustang.

I totaled my 2015 GT convertible back in June. When I originally bought it, I had been shopping for an Ecoboost HP package with the HP handling package but couldn't find one out side of California (I'm in Indiana) and then found the GT for a little bit more money and went ahead with it. Now that it has left the chat. I started looking again and ended up making an eight hour round trip to Toledo, OH to purchase this 2021 with just under 12k miles. Pretty stoked. For those who will condemn an EB purchase, please know that we already have a Dark Horse in the garage. We just like Mustangs and this will make a fun daily driver and occasional autocross competitor. Just wanted to share as I'm excited this finally happened. Tried to buy one in North Carolina earlier in the week that was velocity blue but got beat out by someone who engaged the dealer just before me, but I honestly think I like this in twister orange better.

Does anyone have steeda progressive springs?

My car has over 140k miles. I replaced the struts with full assembly monroe’s and struts with monroe’s a year ago when i was between work and strapped for money but stock was blown. I wish i had just waited and done oem replacements. The monroe struts handle like garbage and started clunking already. My whole suspension has new parts front and rear minus the rear lower control arm bushing and knuckle-to-toe bushing. Im replacing those in a week. I’m debating on what to do with the struts. Ive always hated the wheel gap but the roads are ass out here many big dips/half ass repairs, constant up and down up and down and jostling bumps. I have 255/40/19 wheels/tires. I’m debating on the steeda progressive springs to close the wheel gap and their action strut/shocks to go with it. How is this for daily driving?

Does anyone have photos of their ride with the progressive springs on? I daily mine but only commute 2 days into the office under 30 away. Comfort is important but i feel like anything is an improvement from the monroe’s at this point.

4 second 0-60 on stock turbo e30 ems tune

I don’t wanna see learn how to shift. Does nobody understand that a good transmission tune shifts before redline to keep the power band.

Guidance…

Just picked up a 2018 EcoBoost Premium with 97k miles! The engine was fully replaced by Ford at 64k in late 2021 with the revised block part number, so the engine itself only has about 33k miles.

I'm new to Mustangs and doing some baseline maintenance:
Should I do a trans pan-drop, filter, and fluid drain/ fill on the 10-speed now given the chassis mileage?

Just changed spark plugs-do I need to bother replacing ignition coils too, or leave them until a misfire happens?
Appreciate any guidance from the community!

Birthday presents for my buddy under $300?

My friend has a 2016 Mustang ecoboost and his birthday is at the end of this month, any suggestions on cool parts or things to get him for his car? He hasn’t had it long so all he’s done to it is maintenance and a blow off valve. Thanks guys :)

Has anyone else dealt with fading hood, or paint issues such as there?

Still looks good from afar, but little things such as these still bother me as the owner, is a repaint my only hope?

Did Ford get rid of the ECU tuning from Ford Parts? (pic is my pony)

I was thinking about getting that installed soon (because 5000 rpm limit sometimes just doesn't do the job) but when I looked on the Ford website to find it, I couldn't find it anymore. Am I going insane or were there a reason posted why they aren't doing that?
