Black Friday Steeda sale.
- Thread starter DoingOK
- Start date
Gents, I'm all for supporting the vendors and small businesses here on the forum. If anyone was looking for a Steeda sway bar....they are $149 on sale from Steeda. Other vendors here may have comparable sales as well. Now someone find me a great deal on a new exhaust. Please. 
What exhaust? I can’t decide which one I want either
This is a good deal. The better deal is what this bar matched with a set of Steeda springs will do for the handling. I'm 400 miles in on the set up. One word. Awesome. Lowered about an inch, no alignment adjustment required. Great road feel without being harsh. Very happy with the results.

Can anyone give me a ballpark on how long Steeda shipping took from order to receiving? Ordered sway bar and springs yesterday - ST arrived at dealer today and was planning on having his tech install them before delivery.
Got order confirmation email but no further email from Steeda....I know I am being impatient but just curious.

Springs were available right away, bar took longer. When I ordered in early Nov. I recall them having fit issues when using HR springs. I want to say that was the reason for the delay. Regardless, worth the wait. I too have had six people loaded up with luggage in back and on top and the road characteristics are still awesom.
Called and warehouse was closed since Wednesday afternoon for holiday weekend and backed up due to that. Along with finding out that springs were coming off production and no ETA on them at this time was a bummer. Wondering if I should ask them about the H&R(other than they were cheaper elsewhere) availability? Was worried about any fit issues with rear sway and H&R together and seemed like similar appearance of drop from my reading on the forum.
Looks like I might need to go ahead and take the ST off the lot and will either install myself or take it back for install. Was trying to have it done at delivery for convenience and my bride not typically liking me modifying her ride, lol.

I ended up speaking to Ron at Whoosh Motorsports and ordered a set of H&R that should ship today and cancelled my Steeda springs. Swaybar ships today from Steeda. Totally understandable delay I guess with being shut down for the holiday weekend. Excited for these items to arrive and get installed and take delivery of the new ride.
blaster9, Ron did mention the springs made a bigger difference than the swaybar but that he had installed swaybar on the softest setting.

I can’t answer this question with direct respect to the Explorer. I can however, tell you my experience with F150’s. The trucks do not come with a rear sway bar. Hellwig is the game with the F150 crowd and adding their sway bar to the rear even on the softest setting is an amazing upgrade. Can’t imagine why Ford doesn’t put these on from the factory.
The trucks do however, come with front sway bars as OE, the size of these bars varies dependent on which package the truck comes with. These are nice hefty sway bars. Replacing the front with a Hellwig front bar that is only minimally larger in diameter still makes an amazing improvement. It’s not as dramatic as putting one where none existed but it’s something that you will not only notice but fully appreciate. Hellwig’s front one is also a solid bat as opposed to a tube types bar.

I ended up calling Steeda and cancelling my order for springs but maintained the order for the swaybar. All was ordered on Monday. Wednesday afternoon when I cancelled the springs I contacted Ron at Whoosh and ordered the H&R. They were shipped that afternoon and arrived today while the swaybar didn't end up shipping until Thursday and won't arrive until Monday.
Very pleased with the customer service from Whoosh Motorsports.

5 weeks later. Still eagerly waiting for the springs. Still hopeful since their site now says "2020 Explorer Springs NOW AVAILABLE".
