I think my view has changed somewhat as you will need to be patient until the suspension settles/breaks in similar to having new brakes installed.
The bouncy feeling has subsided a bit with roughly 300 miles of driving.

I think it matters if your having just the Springs installed or the whole kit and caboodle which in my case was new Struts,shocks,springs which could of an impact on the ride quality which could influence your review. Z

FYI would make certain to install new strut mounts for a peace of mind.

@-WickedSHO How many miles on your SHO?

@ 22k would consider having the rear shocks changed as they are prone to leaking but a personal preference IMO.
IMHO would not bother installing new Struts,especially @22K only the Strut mounts as mentioned ^^^

The front Struts/Springs are a pain to do and are time consuming and labor extensive to say the least.

The rear shocks are quite simple and probably the easiest part of the whole process and would make certain to get new Specialty cam bolts  for the rear part number 81280 IIRC.
Best of luck and any questions feel free to ask. Z  :)

Btw would certainly accommodate bpd1151 offer!! a generous one @ that. Z

Thank's ZSHO for the info. I will surely consider getting new shocks for the rear.

bpd, when I am ready for install, I will reach out to you and hopefully we can exchange info on your mechanic friend.

Thanks again fellas!

Z, I am betting an actual side on shot would be MOST appreciated by everyone.

This way the viewer can see right on/directly how well it sits. Sits from front to back, and how much room is in your wells, etc.

Just a suggestion.

For example, and I am really digging way, way, wwwaaaayyyyyy back in the photo vault for these images..... but these were captured back in the Summer of 2010, shortly after I had the H&R's installed.

The silver taurus on the left is stock height. Mine on the right is lowered on H&R's.

True indeed there bpd1151! Pic's are based from my phone and currently don't have a Sponsor to add the finishing touches nor am I seeking one.

I did add a sample before and after but until then live long and prosper my friend. Z

I remember those pics, was a nice photoshoot, Mike!

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!

Thanks bpd1151   .......

Yes Please. Even the other pics posted are white and the contrast is hard to make out the gap. You cannot tell what changed and by how much.

The part numbers provided on page one are indeed correct for those who had there doubts such as hawkeye93 and needed closure for a peace of mind.

https://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,8310.0.html

I must admit the part numbers for the Front Struts can be very confusing between the PP-SHO & NON-PP due to (supersession) .

Here are some pics of the 13+ PP-SHO Struts for comparison. Z

What is a good link to the longer bolts for the rear i have seen mentioned in a few places?
