I've removed them, pretty shortly after install. The road film was obnoxious after a rain. Also, it may have been a coincidence, but my struts started knocking right after the new tires and spacers were installed. I loved the look, but still a bit leary of wrecking the new struts Ford bought me...

How about DMS so you have both? I have normal mode running performance and sport running race. I'm not sure what ZFG does with the tranny settings in the drive modes. Normal is very daily friendly even with the performance tune. Feels stock until you step on it. Sport does seem to behave a bit...

Post #51 above has pics with 1.25" spacers all around

The foam detached on one of my stock Pirelli's near replacement time. Of course this happened on a road trip, so I was driving highway speeds with a very unbalanced tire. I was already considering switching, and that sealed it for me. The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's I replaced them with do...

Seems to be more than a bad run given this is an issue on 2020 - 2023 models...

I believe like me, people are hesitant to assign the performance tune to normal, and this is largely based on how the stock sport mode changes the throttle sensitivity. When I got my DMS tune, I reasoned that I wouldn't be buying a tune if I didn't want extra performance, so I took the leap and...

You get to pick Stock+, daily driver, or performance on most modes. Race is available on normal and sport. Tow only allows tow. At least that is what the current request form on their site allows. I'm pretty sure I picked stock+ for eco, and it feels very similar to pre tune. Since I don't...

From the horse's mouth... https://www.explorerst.org/threads/zfg-launch-strategy.6675/

DMS has launch baked in, no additional cost. I've only used it once myself, not sure how using it will affect reliability. I run performance in normal drive mode with race assigned to sport. There is a notable difference with shifting in sport, with the shifts being a lot more firm. I'd imagine...

Just the tip... hehe.

Saving this thread... I'll be ordering the parts soon. Thanks for sharing.

FWIW, I never noticed turbo lag before installing the IC. Maybe it was there, I just never felt it. It is definitely noticeable now. Still very strong off the line, but puts you deeper in the seat once it gets fully spooled up.

Technically yes, but the FP warranty requires installation by a certified mechanic. If they see a recent key cycle reset while investigating problems, I'd expect some challenge. From Ford's perspective, they can't tell what tune you were running prior to that reset. You may want to look into...

Most performance tunes recommend no towing unless it is specifically meant for that purpose. ZFG has tow specific tunes, and I'm pretty sure towing is not supported on the performance and race versions they sell. I've read something about the exhaust temperatures getting hot enough to cause...

The notes on FP tune on the Ford site states "**Trailer towing not recommended**". If you don't want to jack with warranty coverage and tow at rated capacity, you are gonna want to stick with stock tuning.
