2013 SHO  ....  not mine anymore

2021 Edge ST

Wonder if they can give you different color combos to choose from.  Purely aesthetic, I know, but ...
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

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!

32 settings

I stand happily corrected.  32 ride options on these coilovers is awesome!

Where IS EBB?  Have not seen him post recently.

I think he got into a pissing match with someone else.  He changed his signature that he wouldn't be here anymore, IIRC.

He got upset with me and told me he wasn't coming back on here anymore (due to his hotpipes) and then upset with everyone due to some tuning thread on SHO forum, he emailed me saying he was no longer doing automotive forums and asked me to remove his account. He has a history of rage quitting forums, I don't know why he gets so mad but it is what it is.

Yes! He does rage quit forums quite routinely.

Odd but at least he's consistent (in quitting).

I agree, it is, what it is.

Anyway, enough about EB Bob, I'm growing more and more excited from the thought of putting my Flex on coilovers.  Mike make sure to order up a set for me as soon as you are able to.  I've already set aside the money for them, and can't wait.  I THOUGHT I'd have traded my Flex for an EB by now, but I guess when that time comes I can just swap the parts out.

Also I wonder if I could add an extra 1/2" to my wheel lips all around, once I'm slammed.  hmm.

I will try and get 10 sets made immediately as it seems people want (need) these ASAP. :)

I'm a rookie when it comes to coil overs.

If I understand correctly, I can adjust ride height separate from compression and rebound?  So if I wanted to lower my SHO, and retain the highway ride of my non PP springs, I can do that?  And if I wanted to firm things up, I can adjust as necessary and go back to a stock like ride when I want to?

I read the poll thread on coil overs and it sounds like the Megan springs are stiff as hell.  So maybe I'm way off base on how the coil overs ride?
'13 SHO, non PP, all other options.  Stock for now.

The adjustments on these coilovers are not capable of separate compression and rebound adjustment, but you do have a 32-position shock adjustment, and of course adjustable ride height.  If you need stiffer springs, Swift brand springs can be substituted.  you probably won't need them though.

The shocks settings will have some effect on ride quality but its the spring that effects it the most.  You can swap springs with a lower spring rate but you'll need more suspension travel so you won't be able to go as low. Eibach makes a bunch of coil over springs and maybe legend has others to fit their shocks as well. Once you go coilovers its a matter of tuning just like other mods to get the most out of it.
