Need a 2013 SHO/Flex and Explorer Sport for Megan to make up some coilovers

Because the platform is shared across the Taurus, Flex, Explorer, and others (Lincolns and stuff), I say that the market is bigger than they may be anticipating, AND with more hitting the streets, demand will increase.  Sure, the design is new for 2013, but I don't see it changing again anytime soon.  It is a simple, elegant, and typical strut design more like an import car, and VERY easy to service compared with prior.  Actually the prior one reminded me of the old German Capri / Escort UK type, which is not really a good thing at all due to the integration of the spindle and the strut itself.  This new design is so much more simple to work with, and the market will expand as these cars keep spitting out of the factory.

Small spring rate and damper settings would be the only difference between Taurus, Flex, Explorer and others, and some of that could just be more or less clicks on the adjustable parts, really. 

There are other coilover manufacturers out there.  I think maybe we need to start pointing in those directions if Megan isn't up to the task.
I don't have an EB but I am an avid modder and happy to help the community and learn/grow.  Pretty good with audio and wheels, my build and discussion threads are here in the forum.  2013 Flex AWD N/A

Audio:  Dayton Reference home speakers in front stage, incl. 2-way passive custom pillars 2.5" mid, 3/4" tweet, 2-way passive custom center channel 5" mid, 3/4" tweet, 8" midbass in doors, Vibe UK amps, JBL MS8 processor, Optima Yellow-top custom-wired, Exile subs in spare tire well

Mods: H&R, K&N, 22x9 & 22x10 3 piece forged wheels 265/35-22 Toyos, SCTX4 w/ 91 oct. Torrie tune

There are many of of there that feel you are leaving our members questions unanswered .

Many of the members are quite pleased with the Coilover Set that you offer for the Ford Flex and with only minor modifications it works on the 2010 to 2012  Taurus SHO as well ....

Since  Ford changed the lower front mount on the OEM strut we have been told that Walter Chen is looking for a test vehicle.  I Would do it but I live in Oklahoma.

I have a 2013 Taurus SHO that has many MODS and really want this Coil over setup.

My member name at EBPF is kbeck59 ..... please check it out as I am serious as are other members that want these coilovers

No one at EBPF has recieved a reply from Walter   ?!

Please update us on this .....



Thanks , Kevin

First of all ...... THANK YOU Crash712us for  posting the link  for test vehicles with Danny at Megan Racing.

Second .. I dont know why Walter Chen  has not given any further attention to the emails from dcpatters and others that have emailed him.

I sent an email to Danny yesterday and he sent me back a reply .... maybe Walter Chen was not the correct contact .....

this is a copy of the email I sent to Danny and his reply .....

Hello Kevin,

The forum will not allow me to access that page. I was not aware that anyone had been looking for Taurus for testing. Do you know any forum members that are in the socal area that would not mind letting me borrow their car for a bit? This is the first I have heard that the Flex kit would fit with minor modification and if that is the case it shouldn't take me much time to draw up a new front bottom bracket that we can adapt to the existing flex kit.

Please have anyone that is interested contact me directly, either through email or at the number below.

Thank you,

Best Regards,

Danny A.

Well looks like AJ stepped up and got a nod from Megan... Way to go!  :thumb:

Kevin... Appreciate the work you've been doing on this.  Was wondering.... Did you tell him registration was free and communicate with 4DR about getting them on board as official vendors for the site?
