H&R Springs & Bora Spacers Installed!

[blaster9]

The American in me said buy the Bora Spacers !!! But the Canadian in me said sell the spacers and order rims instead.

Im dual citizen haha born in Fla but entire family born & lives in Montreal. Take it from me, go get em!

I have them on now and was getting concerned after reading a few posts. Glad to hear all opinions. I think I will leave them on for now. My concern is that I drive the autobahn here in Germany and regularly travel at speeds of up to 125 mph. Higher sometimes. They seem completely fine and no vibration whatsoever.

The handling improvement is noticeable.

Just curious - what size are you running front/back?

1.25" front, 1.5" rear. Stock 21" wheels, Steeda springs and sway bar. By handling improvement, I am talking the spacers alone.

I did 1.25 all around and am very happy with the feel. Feels like it carves through turns better on the twisties.
I also did the H&R springs and Steeda bar.

I havr Steeda springs

front with 1.25" spacer View attachment 4370

View attachment 4371

Exactly what I was looking for. Answered my question. Thanks.

Still waiting for my springs. Ordered in March, ordered got canceled. Reordered with a July ship date now it’s September. I can’t win.

im in that same boat. Ordered first week of April... crickets.

H&R's ordered June 1st. Still waiting, patiently. The 1.25" wheel spacers will be here tomorrow. Just wish the springs were here already too! :-(

Finally got my spring in the mail and installed. Only took 6 months, but I finally have them. So far the ride is great. Should have been like this from Ford. Don’t have the wheel spaces yet. I’m still on the fence about them.

Don't waste your time with spacers... they don't look right on STs without cutting studs. .75 front 1" rear.

people are going too aggressive and 1.25 is the minimum without cutting needed but they poke out too much. Car looks awesome as is!

I have Bora F/R 1.25/1.5 and while i will admit i don't like the look of them poking out, i feel the handling improvement is definitely noticeable because of the wider track.

I have 1.25" BORA's at all 4 corners, along with H&R's. I guess I'm the "lame duck" here because, I absolutely love the look and have zero regrets!

Not the only one. I love my 30mm spacers.

Finally had my H&R springs and 1.25" Bora spacers installed. I LOVE the look and feel of this setup. Great stance and better handling overall.

It just takes on a meaner more sinister look.

This looks aggressive! Love it.

Do you have links to the H&R springs and 1.25" Bora spacers you ended up purchasing? Is there anything else I'll need to buy to make this work?

What's your new ground clearance?

Thanks for sharing. Just when I thought my ST looked mean enough, you go ahead and make it MEANER!

 

[BigAnt75]

Don’t you just have to adjust the rear camber .05 to make the rear flush with the body and the front. You shouldn’t need spacers to do this. Am I correct?

Has anyone went with BONOSS ?
If so, any comments ?

I would like to see 1" front and 1.25" rear. Seems like it would be the best overall set up to mach the flush look both up front and out back. I understand the front with the 1" will require a little trim on the factory stud, just curious if anyone has done it and has a picture or two?? Thx!!!

I'm also curious about the 1" spacers. Did the studs actually have to be trimmed? I have pulled one of my wheels yet but don't most have cavities in that area that will line up with the factory stud?
