Opinions on Steeda? Haven't heard much here. Am I wasting my time passing by?
Cobra700 said:Sorry for he delay guys,
I swung by Steeda and talked to the sales guys and techs. Super nice guys. ESPECIALLY David I belive his name was. Guess he does the R&D there. He is the nicest and extreamly knowledgable tech I talked too. Showed me one of their track cars and went though the whole suspension with me. Just him alone made me want to do business there. Long story short, for the whole shebang at Steeda installed and all it would be close to 6k. That includes 20 hours of Labor. Nice thing would be is they are fairly local and it's their parts. Said life time warranty on parts....
My other options are:
-Griggs GR40SS System
-CorteX Xtreame-Grip System
-Vorshlag (still have to check on them)
Would have to find someone trustworthy in South Florida to install these and get me properly set up.
My budget is about 4k-5k for parts and she'll be daily driven for a while but want to rock her out at the track. NVH doesn't really bother me so would like her more track oriented. Would like to do some SCCA and/or NASA as well. Thanks!!!
Domestic Product said:It would be interesting to see what Steeda is proposing for the car? Can you list parts. 20 hours at a full on speed shop with lifts and everything seems a little high IMO. But depends on what they are proposing.

I have trouble imagining taking 20 hours of shop time to install less than the 'certified Boss' package:
tlflow said:just the wheels in this list are $6K
ArizonaBOSS said:Those ARE some nice wheels, though
Man, that list...they are really gonna take someone to the cleaners!
Buy the least expensive and you owe me a beer with your savings. ;DCobra700 said:P.S.- which trans scoop seems better? The Ford one or Shelby? Thanks.

Cobra700 said:The quote was for pretty much all their suspension stuff. No wheels or CAI or tune. I agree 20 hours seems a bit steep but I guess that's what the "book" calls for. I'm sure the tech can get it all done in a lot less. Well with all the reccomendations from you guys and researching I have decided between the Griggs and Cortex.
Now I gotta decide between those 2 lol. The suspension has been delayed by about 2 months or so since I found a few rust bubbles on my hood. Ford said there is a TSB and they'll repaint the whole hood but still pisses me off. So it looks like I'll be doing the Tiger hood, 302s grill, brake ducts, trans scoop and Steeda wing first.
Thanks again!
P.S.- which trans scoop seems better? The Ford one or Shelby? Thanks.
