Finally had a chance to install my H&R's this past weekend. I want to send a huge thank you to all the guys who contributed in the "How-To" section. The 2014's are extremely easy. I've installed springs on 3 other cars so I have some experience, but I was pleasantly surprised on this car.
The rear took me about an hour.

The front were a little more involved but still easy to do. Unlike the 2010-12(?) there is no need to remove the lower control arm nut or loosen the axle nut.

Before and after pics here. I absolutely LOVE the stance!!

Frozen-yes, I 100% agree!

SHO-Time-Thanks. I didn't notice much of a difference in ride quality. Its a little rough but the PP springs were rough already. Definitely feels stiffer around the corners. I really like it.

Nice lookin' Taurus ya got there, friend!  The spring transplant was a 110% success :thumb:

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!

Looks awesome. Next on my to do list on my 11. Does anyone know a price range that I could expect to pay at a shop? I'm too afraid to be doing any major wrenching on my car lol.

Dont be afraid to do it, its not that bad. But if you decide to go to a shop, don't pay more that $400-450....IMO.
Its a 4 hour job and most shops charge about $85-100/hr.

Good luck!
