I like that idea. Maybe I can time things right to cut 1/2 coil off my HR and reinstall and then take in and get aligned for $free.99.

Funny you say that, I am going to cut my H&R's this weekend. Lol.
It seems the 2013-2018 Ford Taurus SHO (Performance Pack) equipped vehicles manufactured between August 25, 2011, and June 1, 2017 are affected! Z :hmmm:
