Hello Everyone,
I took delivery of my ST on 2/22, this by far has been the most fun/quickest vehicle I've owned. Since then I've done a few modifications.
  • Full Carbon Ceramic Window Tint
  • AFE MOMENTUM GT COLD AIR INTAKE SYSTEM W/ PRO 5R MEDIA
  • THERMAL R&D 3" CAT-BACK EXHAUST SYSTEM WITH MID PIPES
  • H&R LOWERING SPRINGS
  • AFE CONTROL SWAY BAR SET
  • FENFABRICATION "DIFFY STIFFY" BRACE
  • Tune from Unleashed Tuning
This thing is an absolute blast now!
I haven't been on any forums in YEARS, I can't wait to get to know some of you and learn some new things!

Nice ride! How do you like the AFE sway bars? I've been thinking about them but don't want to decrease the ride quality.

They are very nice, I currently have them on the stiffest setting, I'll also be trying the other two. I'll probably settle on the softest which is still a bit more than stock.

Welcome, fellow buckeye.

My ST came from a dealer nearby, port clinton ford. I got lucky and found one without a sunroof and no roof rails in the color I wanted.

Ah, very nice. I ordered mine, because they were impossible to find without a sunroof, I wish I would have know to ask for no roof rails also. Bummer.

That's a good looking collection you have there. That Grabber Blue stang is nice! If they would have offered that in the Explorer ST...

Thanks. The mustang is 1 of 24 in existence in that combination, I'll never sell it. It only has 13K miles on it in 6 years of ownership.

In 20 the roof rails were standard and ford made them optional in 21 only on the ST. All other civilian trims get the rails as standard.
