I have a 2020 and already have Steeda springs sitting in my garage, and I really don't have the time or gumption to install them myself. Does anyone have an install shop recommendation?

Well I ended up doing the springs myself, but I do want to have a shop install some exhaust tips. I love the quiet stock sound (I have a Mustang GT that’s loud). Let me know if that shop does exhaust work

Cool I have went to and referred other to Josh @Wicks Rods & Kustoms LLC (pretty much near the outlets as far as Williamsburg ) a set of coilovers and next door he coordinated an alignment. In his shop at that time he was building a tube chassis for a drag truck, restoring a 60s Cadillac, and his work is excellent.
Worst case he would point you in the direction to someone if he's not able to for whatever reason.

Any mods on your ST? I'll be taking out my other car to cars and coffee Williamsburg this weekend.

Sounds like a hell of a good shop. I’d feel like a dork asking for exhaust tips but like you said, he can point me in the right direction.

no notable mods to my ST. Lowering springs and the Steeda bushing spacers. Ford Performance tune, which I’ll replace this year. How about you?

So far it's MBRP axle back or muffler delete exhaust, drop in filter, blacked out badges, roof rack delete, and ceramic coated.
Only 1 mod-the exhaust before I commit to a cat back but I'd like to do springs/sway bar first. Just dropped some $ on an exhaust for my C8.

Man I really enjoy having a quiet exhaust, sleeper style. I have a 2015 Mustang GT so I get my loud fix on that.

I have the Steeda springs. They’re very nice for me and literally no downsides. But if you want a slammed look, go with the H&R I think. The Steeda are pretty conservative
