Just installed the Steeda subframe spacers… I think they are must haves! As previously mentioned it is much more planted and gives you better feel for the road. The hard shifts seem softer and the power gets to the ground much better. Launch was better with a huge bark of the tires when shifting in to 2nd and 3rd gears… used to get some chirps.

Is an alignment necessary after doing the bushings?

Flash2ning Glossy Black Gear... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C2R4DMYZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Super easy install. Dry fitted first to get an idea how it’ll lay. It already has the tape installed so just peel off the backing and lay it on and press firm to get it to stick. The console door is a little trickier. Mines slightly off but not enough for me to retry it

A little paint correction and ceramic coating in the garage for her upcoming two year birthday. Sorry for the garage pic but it’s been -15 to 8 the past week.

Ok, thanks!
Is your friend from Waldorf pleased with all their work? Need to know how good their familiarity is with the STs.

Update:

I spoke with a Redline rep and he told me they don't service the ST platform. I spoke of your friend from Waldorf and he wasn't familiar. He did redirect me to Kinectic Autoworks in Millersville. I'm getting some quotes from them as I type.

Custom Lamin-X tinted headlights (Gunsmoke color) - basically used a razor to just tint the top chrome on the headlights and the side markers/side chrome.

None of the front lighting is tinted so no loss of brightness while driving. Another subtle change, that makes a big difference to me. I don’t know why they used so much chrome on top of the headlight. I actually intended to tint the top LED light strip but had a small mishap in the cutting so had to edit that lol and only to top chrome got tinted. It is all one piece I just traced the lines delicately with the razor.

Yes, they do service the ST platform. If their pricing is negotiable, they seem doable. They gave me estimates on an IC install, subframe spacers install and a trans oil drain and refill. They said they currently have an ST in there.

Just a correction on my post, they spell it Kinetic.

Did you do your taillights as well? I ordered the charcoal tint but I'm wondering if it'll be too dark.

I understand your concern ...Which I am the same way . Only thing I know is he previous had a Challenger they did all work on . He stated the ST was the third vehicle they modded for him . I know he has a bigger intercooler , exhaust, tune , and maybe something else .

I was trying to help you with a suggestion
I definitely don't want anybody to be mad at a shops work on my behalf .

Your suggestion led me to a possibility which is what was asked for. I don't think anyone here would hold you to that. As far as any shop is concerned, we all enter at our own risk. It's all good!
Thanks!

Yes I tinted the inner tails. I dont mind the red outer ring, I think it ties in the red ST nicely.

Check out my post #2,284 on the previous page. I did the "tint" color. Looks clean, but you could definitely go darker. On the all black I didn't want to over do it though.

Be careful when you want to remove the film, our uv coating on the headlights are incredibly fragile and can peel off when removing the tint....ask me how I know lol
