    4th to 3rd gear downshift in sport mode

    Zfg makes it better for sure. Still sometimes a little rough but much better!

    Lowering springs installers

    P&L Motorsports. They are doing the H&R springs and install for me as well as their 3” exhaust. You can PM Paul Szuba on messenger.

    Lowering springs installers

    Hey, I ordered my springs and exhaust Monday since they were doing some great black Friday sales, I would reach out Friday if you are still looking.

    Lowering springs installers

    Yeah they quoted me $1050 or so with H&R springs installed and aligned. Very fair and they do very nice work. Their exhaust is beautiful and sounds amazing. Maybe if we both order at the same time we can get a discount lol.

    Lowering springs installers

    Might be out of your way a bit but I believe P&L Motorsports will install them, with alignment the cost was like $700. Located in IL.

    4th to 3rd gear downshift in sport mode

    yeah, definitely makes sport mode suck at lower speeds.

    4th to 3rd gear downshift in sport mode

    I did some testing today and on throttle it’s actually perfectly smooth, it’s only off throttle. It has to be crappy stock logic, but I don’t want to find out it’s the valve body or something after modding lol. I’ve seen a few posts about other gears like 7-6 being signs of failure but not much...

    4th to 3rd gear downshift in sport mode

    Well, it’s done it since new, but I agree I need to have a different person look at it. Maybe I’ll take a new one for a ride and compare. The weird part is it’s gotten less intense since I had him drive it. Hmm.

    4th to 3rd gear downshift in sport mode

    Hey, Looking at searches it seems some have had an issue like this but in all modes. Mine is a 22 and in sport mode on the 4 to 3 shift it slams into gear, no other gear is like this. Even just coming to a stop it slams down into 3rd. The dealer thinks it is normal, however it was not as bad as...

    COST OF STEEDA SPRING INSTALL

    Is that $200 for the intercooler install?

    ZFG Stage 1?

    Skip the mish, I’m not going to bash them but they never made very good intercoolers in the past from experience. The whipple is tried and true and an excellent company. Cv looks promising so if you want the savings go cv all the way. Adam did a write up and seems to like it and the few people...

    Nice! Yeah they do. I want their exhaust but I’m afraid it will be too loud. Trying to be low and just a little louder but a nice sound at idle lol.

    Did you have P&L do the intercooler and exhaust? Working on that now on mine! Which exhaust is it?

    Bang and Olufsen opinion?

    Is this serious? Literally almost any stock BMW and Audi system at this price range sounds better. My 2016 Golf R with 7 speakers sounded better. There are a lot of cars out there with much less muddy sounding systems. If you were kidding then carry on. LOL

    Stock Audio Settings

    I gave it a try and it definitely helps. Cleans up a lot of the muddiness and even removes some of the rattle the doors can have. Nice find! Definitely doesn't sound good but it is better lol! I wonder if there is a decently priced DSP that can save this hot mess?
