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

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.

Too bad members don't drop a pin on the map.... just close is good.  Only 157 out of 700 or so did that.

[SwampRat]

I've PM'd  dcpatters and QuickSilver , both have 13 or 14 XSports and live close to Megan  ....


Need at least a few SHO owners in SOCAL  to contact Danny    .......  even if they are not close  .
We need to let Megan know there is money to be made for them ! !
...... the more the better   ....

[dcpatters]

Received your PM and will contact them tomorrow. I need to get in before the following weekend as I'm traveling after that. Keep you posted.

[QuickSilver]

Hmm,  DC contacted them already and so did I in early December. I never heard back so didn't think the ball was in our court. I also let them know I can leave my Esport for a few days if needed as I have other drivers...

[SwampRat]

 
I checked out the member map and mbehna has a 2014 SHO  in SOCAL ... I  sent PM to him ... See What happens

I see that you have a 2014 Taurus SHO ... Danny at Megan RACING is Looking for a newer SHO to test fit and Modify the Flex coilovers they all ready make .... POSSIBLE FREE COILOVERS FOR YOU ....

Sent Danny (Megan) an email but no response.  Oh well.  Maybe someone else can get in there.

Try calling him if you can   .... probably just busy... He replied to my email the next day ?!?!

[SwampRat]

I sent another email to Danny at Megan Racing trying to clarify that the SHO / Flex and XSport all Share the same platform.


HE IS TRYING TO WORK WITH US ......

He has thus far only heard from two XSport owners....not shure if he has replied to you quicksilver or dcpatters but he HAS read your emails .

I would appreciate any help that can be provided to me or any one such as Lanson or 4DR ( hes been working on this too ) so that they or I can contact Danny at Megan to Get this figured out .

1.  Are the OEM  front struts on the 13/14 FLEX   / SHO /  XSport the same part number .....

  2 . I would like to take my 13 SHO to the  Ford Dealer I bought it from and see if I can get them to put it up on a lift side by side with a Flex  and an XSport to do a visual check to see if everything LOOKS the same ..... Not sure how soon I can do this though .... maybe next week .

3 If any one else could do this before me it sure would get the ball rolling sooner and benifit the whole EBPF community ....


Copy of email I sent to him as a follow up on wed 01/22 and his reply today On Saturday 01/25  follows  :

Hi Kevin,

Do the SHO and Explorer sport share the exact same suspension? So far only people with the Explorer sport have contacted me but I was not sure if they share the suspension or not.


Thank you,

I have contacted a few of the other members that live in SOCAL  ......  you should hear from them soon .
Some of them have Ford Explorer Sports  .....
The Ford Taurus SHO / Flex  / Lincoln MKS and Ford Explorer Sport Share the same platform and I Believe the Ford Edge and Lincoln versions do as well ...
Ford changed the lower strut mount on these models for the 2013-14 models.
Your current Flex kit works for sure on the 2012 and earlier SHO and MKS with only minor MODS
Hope we have good news from you soon with an expanding Ford Line up for Coilover sales .
Thanks again , Kevin

I know they aren't the same part number.  There's different part numbers between an Ecoboost and a non-Ecoboost Flex, so there's no way there's the same part numbers between cars.  BUT, I'd bet the difference is valving, while the actual exterior dimensions stay the same.

Hey there, it should but definitely check my threads where we took a bunch of pics, so you can see if they look the same.  They absolutely SHOULD though.

The valving may need to be different, due to the weight differences, etc. though.

Thanks for the reply  .....  I need your help if at all possible .....  I sent another email to Danny at Megan Racing and he sent me back a reply today ..... ON  A SATURDAY ! !

It may be heplful if you could email him as well , since you are more knowledgeable about coilovers.


He needs more info to make this happen   ......

Please check out the updated thread on this and post a reply if you can :

Kevin I don't mind helping but I am not more knowledgeable at all on coilovers.  I haven't used them before, for anything of my own at least. 

Mike (4DRHTRD) does, he bought a set for his pre 2013 model, and he actually sold me his H&R springs when he bought his coilovers.  We took lots of pics (which Kevin can see here on the site or you can link them to him), on these threads:

There were others, but these were really good.  I took very careful measurements of my struts on my 2013, and especially on that last link it is easy to see everything needed to know if they are the same or not.
