Lowering Spring Question

[EscapedGreg]

Is everbody that is lowering their 2011's using the springs from a 2005-10? I called Eibach and they said that the 2011 kit are not out yet cause of them being different spring rates. Then when I go on Ford Racings website it looks as if the same kit on the older years they are using on the 2011. Just confused and trying to see if anyone can answer.

I used FRPP springs for the 2005-10 without issue

Tucker does it sit level like they do in the 2010's? The rep at eibach told me the front would most likely sit lower. All I could think is that the new motor must weigh more.

They work. I'm sure they are going to make a new part number for it b/c it's a new car and they'll probably want a mark up on it since it's new. LOL

 

[EscapedGreg]

I guess I'll order a set and try them. If I don't like them I'll order the correct ones when they come out.

Tucker that thing looks sweet and sits perfect! What wheels are those I've never seen any like those? Whick springs did you use the ones that drop 1" or 1 1/2"?

That might only need an inch or so.

Here's mine with the UPR (made by Eibach) 1.5" coils listed for the 2011. It's the same part number as the '05-'09 and they ride great. I can't imagine they'd change anything for the 2011s except as was mentioned earlier to be able to jack up the price. With the prices the vendors here are offering you can't really go wrong; just don't forget to either order an adjustable panhard bar or plan to measure to make sure your axle doesn't shift too far.

How difficult is the spring install? I definitly need to lower my car, looks like a 4x4!
