I sent another email to Danny at Megan Racing trying to clarify that the SHO / Flex and XSport all Share the same platform.
HE IS TRYING TO WORK WITH US ......
He has thus far only heard from two XSport owners....not shure if he has replied to you quicksilver or dcpatters but he HAS read your emails .
I would appreciate any help that can be provided to me or any one such as Lanson or 4DR ( hes been working on this too ) so that they or I can contact Danny at Megan to Get this figured out .
1. Are the OEM front struts on the 13/14 FLEX / SHO / XSport the same part number .....
2 . I would like to take my 13 SHO to the Ford Dealer I bought it from and see if I can get them to put it up on a lift side by side with a Flex and an XSport to do a visual check to see if everything LOOKS the same ..... Not sure how soon I can do this though .... maybe next week .
3 If any one else could do this before me it sure would get the ball rolling sooner and benifit the whole EBPF community ....
Copy of email I sent to him as a follow up on wed 01/22 and his reply today On Saturday 01/25 follows :

Hi Kevin,
Do the SHO and Explorer sport share the exact same suspension? So far only people with the Explorer sport have contacted me but I was not sure if they share the suspension or not.
Thank you,
Best Regards,
Danny A.

Danny@meganracing.comI have contacted a few of the other members that live in SOCAL ...... you should hear from them soon .
Some of them have Ford Explorer Sports .....
The Ford Taurus SHO / Flex / Lincoln MKS and Ford Explorer Sport Share the same platform and I Believe the Ford Edge and Lincoln versions do as well ...
Ford changed the lower strut mount on these models for the 2013-14 models.
Your current Flex kit works for sure on the 2012 and earlier SHO and MKS with only minor MODS
Hope we have good news from you soon with an expanding Ford Line up for Coilover sales .
Thanks again , Kevin

http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php?topic=1644.0;topicseenThere are many of of there that feel you are leaving our members questions unanswered .
Many of the members are quite pleased with the Coilover Set that you offer for the Ford Flex and with only minor modifications it works on the 2010 to 2012 Taurus SHO as well ....
Since Ford changed the lower front mount on the OEM strut we have been told that Walter Chen is looking for a test vehicle. I Would do it but I live in Oklahoma.
I have a 2013 Taurus SHO that has many MODS and really want this Coil over setup.
My member name at EBPF is kbeck59 ..... please check it out as I am serious as are other members that want these coilovers
No one at EBPF has recieved a reply from Walter ?!
Please update us on this .....
Thanks , Kevin
