Steeda Springs and sway bar installed!

[csnapp254]

There is a rattle somewhere in the back. Not sure what yet. Installed by a mechanic at a custom fab shop and everything double checked. Sway bar is not hitting the springs like some have shown. I have a sneaking suspicion that the washers that are on the sway bar, used for powder coating, are tapping the underside. Just my guess. Will post the findings once had.
Also, with the wheel turned all of the way the tire contacts the wheel well fabric/ liner. Enough that it is going to wear a hole, not enough contact that it is moving the wheel well liner per se. It simply touches.

Hint: hit edit for your post and select the Full Image option. They’ll post full size...you can’t expand them on a phone the way you did it so I can’t get a good look. lol
What are the wheel and tire specs?

Thank you. You know I see all of the black wheels being used and it doesn’t make sense to me. I understand the wider tire, handling etc…. But if you’re going to change do it all the way. Just my opinion.

Rohana and Ferrada have some nice bronze choices also.

Hey how about the more important issue. Did you find the problem with the rattle?
I want to get springs and I came across this thread. Also, you got bigger tires than factory issued. Was that the problem? PS I love how the truck sits though

Yes!!! Was driving me insane. It was as simple as the bottom bolt on the linkage that connects to the sway bar. I was under there multiple times checking what I could and nothing was loose enough that I could even remotely move it with my hands. Got it on the lift and put the torque wrench on it and it was way off and turned without effort using a wrench. Quiet as a mouse again. I get complements on the wheels every single day.

I’m looking at Bronze for my metallic blue ST. I’m torn between that and black.

I spent about 2 months searching for any and every picture of a black SUV with bronze wheels. Do the same. I think a polished/ machined bronze with that blue would look sweet. Triple check though.

Thanks. I've looked at those sites and some others. I've come to the opinion that bronze wouldn't look right on my metallic blue since all the trim is black. Blue, bronze and black is too busy for me. If it were all black or all blue then it's money. I had bronze wheels on my all black Audi S5 and always got compliments.

Any rubbing with your setup??

None what so ever. Rides like a champ and corners like a Porsche.

That’s good to know. I’m going with the same tire and wheel size but with et 30. I may stay stock or go to Steeda springs. Hopefully the 2mm won’t make a difference either way. I’ll post pics soon.
