[QUOTE=ZR 5.0]UPDATE..............I've flat out given up getting any sort of reasonable response from Steeda, I'll be picking up a Pro Kit tomorrow (will post driving impressions on Fri or Sat) and will be cutting the old springs up / tossin em in the garbage. Had put em up for sale but in good conscience can't bring myself to stick someone else with them.[/QUOTE

As I mentioned at the start of this thread, if it were up to me to credit you on your purchase I would...but without the go a head from Steeda Autosports USA there is nothing I can do.

I do know these are the first few complaints I have had about these springs and no complaints from any installs we have done...if we can rally up enough complaints they will have to listen.

As far as not returning your e-mail I have personally not gotten any from you...if we missed the e-mail I apologize....next time give ME a buzz or ME a personal message online....

Done all of the above including calling / leaving a message again mid day yesterday. I had hoped that a more private form of communication would have been possible so as to keep it out of the forums.
Since your final reply is that Steeda US is prepared to do nothing, calling me at this point would serve no purpose.

UPDATE ON MY CAR...............I got smart today, went out and purchased an Eibach Pro Kit for my ride.
-gone is the harsh front end
-gone is the loose / mushy / bottoming out rear end
-gone is the loose back end in tigher turns
-back is the feeling of a well balanced car
-the car rides very very close to stock but of course sits lower
-car sits slightly higher on the front and slightly lower on the rear (may settle though).
I would rate the Eibach Pro Kit arms and legs above the Steeda springs. In all fairness will again say they did not feel all that bad in my Fox. I've gone nuts for the last two months or so chasing a problem that was the springs all along . I also suspect that more folks would complain about theirs if they ever had the chance to ride in the identical car with Eibachs. These look and feel exactly as described.
To Steeda for their total lack of concern or action (including the inability to even return a message) in this matter in spite of me never being anything but polite.............
I also noticed 567 view hits on this thread, hopefully the words getting out there.

Oddly funny how you'd say all this on here about them and you wouldn't even wimper a sound over at GTAMC about any sponsor nor would you let anyone else do so.

Despite it being true and that it needs to be said, you wouldn't let this fly for a second on GTAMC.

Funny thing is, Eibach probably makes the springs for Steeda to their specifications. There are only a few companies in North America that wind their own coil springs.

Had they replied to my attempts at communicating I would have been happy / preferred to keep this matter private. A third party got involved yesterday in the hope that Steeda and I might come to some sort of an agreement at which time I again called and left a message, my call was never returned.
I find zero comfort in being told that no one else has had a problem with them. Clearly some one else has and it was he not me that started this thread. Steeda's own description of the ride is no where close to how at least this set of springs feel. Let's be honest here, every mfg out there has a bad run of this or that, the fact the springs may be part of a bad batch is not the issue here, it's the total lack of after sales support.
Yes the powers to be at GTAMC and CMOC have very different views on what is or is not allowed, thats a big part of what makes them both great places to share views and ideas about Mustangs.
Anyways, for me it's a closed issue. My cars fixed and although I've now got way too much invested in springs I'll move on and be happy. Damm I like this car.
