Not sure if this the best place to post. So more driving impression since my install, so far I am really liking considering the weather sucks and I can't give any performance aspects about them. But the few miles I drove today in sub-zero weather the ride was very pleasant had adjust the back down a 2 clicks as rears didn't feel as forgiving on bumps. Now I want make sure I have everything set up right, I measure  ride height before and after and got everything dialed in with 1/16 of a inch.

But the question I have is that good enough for daily driver and goes to strip twice a year and the occasional triple digits spirited drive? Meaning would corner balancing be something I should consider? And if so its my understanding the adjustable sway bar end links are a must. Which I have found a source for and I will supply link to at the end of this thread.

And the other big question who can perform this service for me? I reach out to LMS through email. I guess my main question is this something I need?

Could talk to Massive Speed System (vendor on here) about that.  While they have not gotten into the Taurus area, they are quite present in the Focus area, so should be able to help out.

Megan wrote and said no intentions on the 2013 at the moment.

Haha, pogo effect. I had that today, it was fun. I felt like I was on a roller coaster.

I am working on it, they will look at a car later this year.
I'm in direct communication with the general manager.
Please do not bug these guys or they may not do it.
Any update on this? Do they have a setup that will work on the 14 sport? I'd like to lower mine in the near future but would really like to install a kit like this rather than the H&R's.
I posted elsewhere that they are looking for someone to come by with their vehicle in California. :)

Any trick to getting the sway bar end links off? It just turns and turns and there doesn't seem to be any nut on the back side to put a wrench on to stop it. And just to clarify the drive shaft nut is 1 1/4 inch?

And has anybody done this without removing the whole spindle and axle nut?  :curse:  :chair:

Don't know about the '11 SHO, but on the '07 Edge, there is a place where an allen wrench fits on the head of the bolt/stud to keep it from rotating while you remove the nut.

Instead of starting a new topic I'll post in here as it pertains to the install and adjustment of the coilovers.

I finally got around to starting the install of the kit today after much procrastination. I decided to do the rear end first. I set both adjustable coils to the same on both sides, buttoned it all up and dropped it down only to realize that the driver side was much lower than the other side. So I bounced the rear suspension and tried to get the rear to settle a bit and then took it out for a drive. When I got back it was still way lower on driver side (roughly an inch ). I adjusted the driver side coil more and more trying to even it out to the point now where I am roughly and inch now from the bottom of the sleeve ... and on the other side I am roughly an inch or so from the top.

Anybody else have this issue? I have not seen this much difference in other cars I have lowered.

:hmmm:
