Coilovers anyone ?

[BAD430BENZ]

How many people here would be interested in a set of coilovers for our vehicles ? I have been working with a company that has been using my ST for R&D . Should be getting the first set to test fit in about a month . It will either go perfect or they will have to make some adjustments for the final product . Either way , coilovers are coming !

They would rather me not say anything yet until they have test fit them to make sure they do work...and work correctly . I am not trying to make this some secret operation but they did ask me to throw it out there to see the demand for it .

I get that. I would definitely be interested in coilovers, it would just depend on who was making them. Thanks for the heads up though.

I would be interested as well.

Just got back from the shop after doing a second round of measurements.....so hopefully we will have a set in hand soon enough .

Just trying to keep those interested informed on the progress .

"Coilovers" covers a lot of ground. Will they be height adjustable? Adjustable rebound dampening? Adjustable compression dampening- High and low speed? Remote reservoir? More details, please.

I would also be Interested in Adjustable coilovers like a full coilover

I am not 100% sure on all the specs but I will get them for you guys when I can .

I’m interested

I spoke to a Ford guy at the Charlotte Auto Fair this past weekend about the white/blue track ST we've all seen already. The track ST was at the show. Anyway, he said that FOX was in the preliminary stages of R&D for coilovers for the ST. I cannot argue the merit of what he said, just know that.....we may have an additional suspension option in the next year or so.

I would be down for some FOX coilovers... something in the 2.5" diameter(the Raptor Fox coilovers are 3"), remote reservoir with adjustable rebound and damping setup with travel designed for a drop of about 1.5". Would likely be in the 2000-2500 range, maybe 3000.

Good to know !

Someone just posted on a FB group that they’re on fully adjustable coilovers…no info though.

But a 1.5" drop for let's say $2000 minimum when you can just get springs for a couple hundred....not sure I would go that route . Yes , I know that coilovers would provide a different outcome that just springs but how many people out there are building a track focused Explorer . Mine's just sitting on H&Rs right now and it handles fantastic through the turns . Let's see what the outcome is for the coilovers I mentioned but it is good to see other options also .

I would be interested to know the info on those also . I know the coilover parts for these are pretty intricate as there are a few different Ford parts needed than a standard coilover . I was originally looking at customizing some F150 coilovers until we saw what is under our STs .

100% how I feel right now. Some really good struts with appropriate springrate and vehicle weight damping for the reduced travel + H&R/Steeda and there is zero reason for a aftermarket coilover setup.
