Great job on steeda for making this!
I want to add a torsion beam always has uncontrolled amount of toe ( toe out) when cornering. Due to nature of the design, the beam twist the tire out( oversteer rear) at the limit. it's the biggest flaw of such a design. That is more likely to give you less...
Their is a sway bar out from Steeda that does the trick:

Yes it would help even though the torsion beam has a sway bar inside it. The handling...
I just put them on with theirrear bar in softest on the og lariat struts. I would say they are not bouncy or stiff. The truck turns flatter now, it will bottom out on a speed bump
To be clear on the maverick hybrid most of the braking is done with regen. On the AWD hybrid they fixed the braking issues the previous mavericks had with braking being very on off/ inconsistent to put it simply. The previous fwd maverick hyrbid had pretty bad braking and regen programming. If...
I have pushed it in the canyons as hard as i could stock brakes area great. I have to hybrid so most of that braking is done by regen anyway to a certain G force amount. as a truck the brakes are focused a bit on braking with 4000lbs load on the back to
Centric on rockauto are good. Generally, rotors are all the same. Some have higher carbon steel, some are cast junk but that's usually very specific cases. Centric generally has cheap rotors that are the right size and not cast. some people get cheap autozone rotors, track them, then warranty...
yeah if clay bar doesn't work it needs a heavier Cutting compound and cutting pad, than polish compound and polish pad. That would be some acid level staining I have not seen.
It depends on the engine too. Some engines have way more fuel dilution and pre ignition detention. Then their is a matter of where you get oil tested, only a few labs do full oil analysis, most labs do a diesel truck level oil analysis, that does not tell the whole story. Honestly, the rabbit...
I will say the newest prius does not fall off until 85 mph. The older priuses(gen 1-4) use to fall off at 45 mph and they gave it the horrible reputation. The maverick uses the same system as the prius (MG1 MG2) and it does shut off at 45mph and goes to mostly gas but it has enough speed to not...
It does look like there is some clear coat to my eyes, other wise the base color paint would not have as much gloss. If it wasn't plastic one could take a paint meter to it.
True, some people cut a weld pieces off and onto. twist beams, sometimes they have a built in sway bar in the beam, some people cut it for more traction. This info is from OLD economy cars. but yeah the torsion beam maverick suffers from major rear toe out at cornering which is problem #1 before...
Ordered my massive front strut tower bar. I am hoping to maybe get more immediate steering response from the rigidity. An improvement would be nice. That blue bar looks great. In my opnion, the massive bar has more proper reinforcements for corner loads than the other bar. At the cost of weight...
If you didn't i recommend using the silicon high temp grease on the sliding brackets / areas and the back of the pads. They work well as anti squeal. You can also hose down the brakes/ wheels BEFORE driving off since they will be cold. watering after is driving bad.
bless your soul, I was able to pay for the truck because I sold my toyota tundra which was old and payed off and the maverick is worth less. I guess that's a bad thing?
