I purchased a used black 2019 type r with about 12,000 miles in July and unfortunately it was totaled last week. An idiot in an F150 pulled directly in front of me while I was going 70. This car was stock.
Yesterday I picked up a white 2019 type r and there are some differences in how they drive and sounds. Plus there is evidence of mods that have been removed and espelir lowering springs still installed. The was an awe sticker under the hood and the maf wire was run under the stock air box, so I suspect exhaust and an intake.
The new type r feels mushy and kind of floaty in all drive modes. It just doesn’t feel as sharp as I remember the old one. Can this be attributed to the springs? I plan on reverting to stock, anything specifically I should look for during that job?
The second issue is the car pulls slightly to the left under heavy acceleration. The steering wheel is also angled slightly to that side. So I suspect that I just need an alignment. Any thoughts?
