I can't believe I forgot to post a pic.
I was waiting FOREVER for the 10-12 coilovers to become available.
And my own stupid fault I took everything apart before I had the new parts in hand so my time table was rushed unfortunately.

Anyway, got everything installed
with new H&R springs, struts, shocks, bolts, onetime use nuts etc..

Ride is firm but not overly so,
I do have 255/45/20 so that might be helping.
Alignment was not so straight forward, they had to spin my front right strut mount 180° to get it back in spec.
Rear needed spc bolts, l used
the 84130 and they worked perfectly.

Also changed front rotors/ pad while I was in there.
Repainted the front calipers/brackets with gloss epoxy paint. Didn't do the rears yet.

Pics as required.





Forgot to mention I do have about 
200 extra pounds of audio equipment in the trunk.
So I'm a little lower than usual.
I'll get some measurements shortly

yeah you're about 1/4" lower all around actually. id almost expect you to be higher up front due to having fresh struts vs my 40k oem's. interesting
Front:

rear

Hey Glock,

Do you happen to have the part numbers for your struts and shocks?

Car looks great and it appears you still have a little rake?

Thx FoMoCoSHO, still a little rake.

Struts, unfortunately don't remember which is left or right


Upper mount same on both sides.

Shocks same on both sides

And my confusion deepens...

Tasca says you have struts from two different suspension codes in the front...

Am I reading that wrong?

Then I'm like, Oh FoMoCoSHO your are a dumb*** because Glock has a 2010 but...

https://www.tascaparts.com/auto-parts/2010/ford/taurus/sho-trim/3-5l-v6-gas-engine/front-suspension-cat/front-suspension-scat

Once again, two suspension codes?

Dealer listings are usually confusing.  When confused, I head over to FordPartsGiant.com.  LOL

Looking great! I have a PP and didn't expect much, other than the lowered stance. I was shocked at the performance gains. It's like a different car. Anyone considering these springs, do it.
