BC Racing USA coilovers for 2013+ SHO

[GIGANTORE]

Yeah, BC are a step up from Megan's. Not to knock Megan. I've had their coilovers on more than one car. They are a good buy for the money. They served me well in both cars. Never had any issues. The BC have a wider shock body than the Megan's. They also have the adjustable strut mounts which I really like. The BC stuff is also rebuildable. All the replacement parts are said to be available. Pretty sure that's not the case with Megan. But I'm not sure. Either way, they will be here on Friday. Won't be able do install until next Saturday. Probably going to do down pipes while I have it up.

I sent a message to the seller amazon seller of the BCs. I wanted to confirm that the coilovers he sent were compatible with the SHO. Wasnt sure if it was a different model than for the regular Taurus. Heres his response..


Hello,
the E-30 kit will fit on the 2014 Ford Taurus SHO. Just make sure the chassis code of the vehicle is D3.

Regards,
Ed

I looked on the sticker in the door and dont see the chassis code. Can anyone confirm?

DG is the suspension code on the 13+ SHO IIRC .Z

Thanks Z. Unfortunately I dont see anything on there that tells me the chassis/suspension code. Maybe Im retarded?

Our chassis code is D3.  It's a fairly all encompassing chassis code that includes the Flex, Explorer, Taurus, MKS, MKT, etc.

I wouldn't think that the same coilover could be used on every D3 vehicle, but not sure.

On 2011 Taurus alone, there are 5 different suspension codes.

I found this out researching options to replace the marshmallow ride in the Lincoln.

My Lincoln is stiff as heck!  Sport setting is too stiff for anything other than pretty serious driving.

Did the 2011 not have adjustable firmness?  If it does, your struts might just be worn out.

I must be the retarded one as been on this one as it can be downright confusing. 
I found this on the BC Site! link below. Z

When I was shopping for coilovers I also confirmed with BC
That these will only fit the 2013-2016.
They haven't updated their site yet.
