Tips for Winter Tires.

Hello lovely community members,

With winters approaching, how do you guys manage your mustang. This is my first time with Car in Canada. I am not sure if I should get the winter tires from Ford Dealership (costing me around CAD $2600, initial qoute) or get it from Costco (approx CAD $ 1800).

Any suggestions or feedback is appreciated.

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.

How many automatics out there?

My 16 GT is the first automatic sports car I have bought, everything else I have had has been a stick. I never thought I would be in an automatic. I used to feel if the car was not a stick, I was not a true sports car back then.

57 now and I am happy with my choice. I do not miss shifting gears any longer. Once in a while I would like it. I don’t go anywhere near the paddles.

The PP2 package

So back in '20 I was really wanting to buy a new GT with the PP2 package. Well found out the wifey was prego and she shut that shit down quick.

Anyways...

My question for you guys is, is buying a clean used 19 or 20 PP2 worth it today?

It wouldn't be a daily, simply a toy. But if i could find a clean, lower then average mileage one would it be worth the $ or should I get something else?

I cant afford a 500 so thats not a option.

Just looking for feedback/opinions

Aftermarket short throw shifters - Need your experience

Hey Folks,

I cant decide which shifter I want to install on my 19 GT 6MT.. I need your help to best explain "characteristics" per your experience. Are my expectations of a smoother butter like shifting too far out there for the getrags? To me the current stock shifter is smooth, but very clunky at the same time. Everything will work smooth but it has to be done with a soft touch. The body mount leaves a lot to be desired, especially during a downshift into a corner, and the high rpm lockouts just genuinely suck. Regarding the aftermarket options, I am curious what your experience is per:

How does it feel compared to stock? Smoother? controlled? How would you describe this? mechanical or gated? or intuitive and butter like? If anyone has experience with multiple, how do they each compare?
