That's the plan. I was just going to order some oem shocks but was looking into getting the PP shocks.
Not sure if they take lowering better or not.

Soon to come-Tune, plugs, tstat, springs, exhaust.

changed the plugs out today. It was a lot easier than expected.

Also the 3bar showed up. Now I just need the tstat and tuner.


I noticed this and wondered what it was for...

Replacement date?  Inspection Date?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

No need for inspection here. The letters look like Tx
Wondering if that's when the PTU was replaced.

Almost forgot.

Here are the plugs that came out of it.


And this little braze weld job doesn't look factory to me but I could be totally wrong.

Plugs look ok to me, other than for gap.  This was a weld off the HPFP?

I agree with Manu... Plugs look fine except gap is large. They appear to be Champion, so have been changed once before.
That braze is definitely NOT OEM. Looks like fuel line... Can't tell for sure in the tight shot.... Gotta wonder about it. Ford houses usually replace parts like tubing, not repair them.

Yeah you'd think on a newer car they would replace the darn thing.
Now you gotta wonder how well its done and when that's going to go. Looks like a car fire waiting to happen.

Well I'm at a stand still until my transmission is fixed. Having the same issue that most had with it not shifting and weird downshifts.

I decided to dip the wheels in anthracite. I love it.



It goes to the dealer on Monday. Let's hope my warranty covers it.

Thanks guys. It came out great. I think they should have come this color from the factory.

Just needs some lowering springs or coilovers now.

Luckily, we know someone who can get us a good price on coilovers ... hmmmm ... :D

The OEM wheel color MAY have matched better with a white paint scheme, MAYBE.

Well with me luck ladies. SHO goes under the knife tomorrow and let's hope my 3rd party warranty covers it.
