Lowered the SHO

[bpd1151]

Forgot to mention I do have about 200 extra pounds of audio equipment in the trunk.

So I'm a little lower than usual.

No pics of this alleged 200lbs or so of audio?

Tsk tsk tsk...... such a tease.

And my confusion deepens...

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

Am I reading that wrong?

My step father is the parts manager a local Chevy dealership.
I ask the same question about the suspension codes, he assured me they were correct for my vin.  So did the Ford dealer he ordered them from.
Ford makes things to damn confusing for some reason.
If they are wrong I can't notice anything as it all went in smooth.

I had every intention to do a
"how to" but it lost steam as the build took awhile. I think I still have most of the pics on my phone.
I'll start a new thread and post what I have.  But here's a preview.
Nothing special, I wasn't going for show quality.
I went infinite baffle (no box)
Here's an old RTA from tuning that peak 4-6k is not there anymore as I've changed my mids highs since. Just don't have a screenshot of the more recent.
JBL ms-8 doing the processing.
JL360-4 for mids
JBL MS-a500 for the subs.
2-15" subs

Nice. Always a pleasure having that.... much desired thumpity thump thump whilst motoring around in speed/style.

If you do a (separate) thread on that, I may be compelled to do one on mine eventually.

My (audio) build took nearly 5mo.'s, whew. Not sure what duration yours was.

Anyhow, 2-15's, 2-12's, 2-6x9's, 4-5x7's, 4-tweeters, 4-Class D digital amps (2 are 1000x4 channel each, other 2 are 600x4 channel each).

A quick pic.....

When you get down to it. Tuning and lowering. They both totally change the SHO for the better and do not cost that much.

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.

How was the change in ride quality?  I have a PP as well and it already seems to ride a bit on the firm side.  I am concerned the H&R's will make that even worse.  This is my Daily, and roads around here are rough to begin with, and I am up in roof being tall, don't want to be bouncing off ceiling every bump.  But MAN they look so good dropped!!

Mine is a DD as well. Honestly, it did make for a slightly harsher ride, but its a little over 80K mikes, so new shocks and struts are in order. I wouldn't say that its uncomfortable to drive, though
