    Lowered yesterday!

    Good find! I might give these a try, just to compare. The statement in the comments about H&R being aggressive is true. The roads here in Belgium are terrible, so I’d be curious to see how much more stability the Steedas would provide. On the other hand, if H&R brings out a spring for the ST, it...

    But, theres a speed shop that had agreed to install my exhaust (when it arrives) and tune in Antwerp that may be able to help me, we will see.

    That’s an option, but heating leaves the ends intact so there’s no issue seating them. When I was stationed in Hawaii, there was a old dude who was so good at heating springs, he could take a car down half an inch at a time with accuracy! Not sure if I can find that here in Belgium....gotta...

    Yeah, I just posted those numbers above. In the past, I’ve had springs heated in situations like this on other cars, and I may give it a try since I can always just reinstall the stock springs and wait for another option if it doesn’t work out...just need another inch lower in the back, then I’d...

    Thanks! The math doesn’t add up, though. My front is now at 2” and rear at almost 3.5”, which does‘t equate to a 1.6” drop in front and 2.3“ in rear. The front dropped more than it should‘ve.....I like the look and feel, but the rear should be lower. I’m anxious to see who, if anyone, makes...

    No, but as soon as we have some decent weather, I’ll get some and post them.

    ST Tune

    Still liking the tune? Is this your daily driver?

    Absolutely. The shop did it as part of the install.

    Just out of curiosity, could someone with an ST measure the wheel well gaps and post them for me?

    Here are the OEM parts info if you need them!

    I checked OEM parts numbers for springs from Ford. The new explorers use the exact same springs as last gen did, so the H&R Springs fit both.

    ST Tune

    Right on, thanks for the info!

    ST Tune

    Yes, the ngauge. Do you have your ngauge installed permanently somehow, or is it suctioned to the window?

    ST Tune

    Roz, I’m ordering the tuner and tune from 5star but it’s asking for the axle code. Did you have to provide that? If so, what’s the code? Cheers, barnesy

    I agree it looks like that in the photo, but it doesn’t look abnormal in person. I went back by the installer’s shop, and he confirmed that everything was installed and seated properly. I wish I would’ve measured the gaps prior to install...the front was a smaller gap, but I don’t know by how...

    H&R Springs. As it turns out, the OEM parts number for springs on the new Explorers matches the last generation Explorer, so I just ordered them. I’ve had good results using H&R previously on my mustang, so I was familiar with them.

    I had new springs installed yesterday. 1.6” drop front, 2.3” rear. Feels a lot more planted. Very little, if any, change in ride. No tire rub, same turn radius. Borla S-type exhaust next...hopefully they release it soon!

    1000 mile oil change.

    Since I’m overseas, we don’t have access to a Ford dealership, so I have to order filters. Which brand did you use, and do you have the part number?
