I have had both on my Focus RS. It really depends on how you intend to use the setup. If you are primarily tracking the car and have another daily, I would say go for the Cup 2. If you plan to daily the car more than you track it, 100% go for the PS4S. The Cup 2 are a bit dangerous when it’s...

I heel/toe in my Miata in daily driving but not the 4 BW for the same reason you described with the pedal placement. Since it has rev match I just use that when I want.

I do not experience this sound, or any sounds out of the ordinary that appear to come from the transmission.

A “notchy” or more difficult 1-2 shift is common feedback on this platform, and something I have experienced as well. For me personally, my issue got better after my car got broken in and it’s much better when the car is warmed up. It’s also improved as the weather has gotten warmer. While I...

As others have stated it’s your tires. I have the Toyo Proxes Sport on my Miata and they are not a highly rated tire for performance driving. PS4S are much better. Understand you are on a budget but if you are concerned about performance tires is probably the last place you want to cut costs...

Has anyone upgraded the base seats to mid-tier in a 4 BW? I’m fine with the base seats, but wouldn’t mind upgrading to mid-tier and just want to know if anyone has done this and what all is involved. Plug and play? Where to purchase? This seems like it could be easy but idk if the wiring will...

I went with OEM spec 9.5” in the rear. I’m not sure if there is a difference in concave between the two. I’m not sure if this is verifiable from their website or not but if not someone at Apex I’m sure could answer.

I went with Anthracite in OEM spec and mounted the stock tires. I will say the pictures don’t do these wheels justice in my opinion (not that they look bad in photos, just better in person). I initially ordered these in Satin Black then changed my mind to Anthracite and I’m glad I did. I think...

Changed the oil… this was the most difficult time I ever had in the 19 years I have been changing my own oil. The only hard part was the oil filter from the factory was over torqued. I actually went to the store to buy filter pliers and I still had a hard time. Did anyone else have a similar...

It is definitely a smaller back seat. My prior two “kid haulers” were a 2018 Focus RS and a 2022 CLA 45 AMG. Both of those have noticeably more rear seat room despite being smaller cars. I’m only 5’5, I have the seat low but as far forward as it will go. My 3 year old daughter sits behind me in...

Looks good! You went OEM sizing, correct? Any spacers needed? I went with those as well but Anthracite color. Just waiting for it to warm up and will throw the summer tires on them and install them.

Couldn’t you get an extended warranty?

No interior squeaks from me but I have the base seats which supports your theory about the carbon fiber seat backs. Good luck.

Does the difference in unsprung weight impact the mag ride that significantly and at what weight per corner would it start making a difference? I just purchased lighter wheels for my BW, about 6lbs per corner, and now I’m wondering if that will negatively impact the mag ride.

Depends on the quality of the film. I have always gotten XPEL ultimate which has a 10 year warranty. It is a “self healing” film which means it’s supposed to cure itself in the sunlight. I had my Focus RS ppf’d immediately after I bought it new and had it for 5 years and the film was great...

I had this issue as well but when I went into the climate settings on the touch screen I think I selected the floor option and then it just saved it as auto now and blows on the floor. I don’t remember exactly how I did it as it was my first time and it’s the only time I’ve ever messed with it.

Thanks. Mine is the LF4 though, I have a CT4 V BW.

Where you get hosed is if you have a lot of options. I learned this the hard way with my CLA 45 AMG, which had over $15K in options. Many dealers assess the market value of the car based on year, make, model and mileage. They don’t really care about how many options it has. I had a dealer...

I’m not a truck person but I love the Syclone. Lol at the vanity plate.
