What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

[Ford Guy]

I have been calling it hyper wax and that is the wrong name. It's name is Hydo Slick. I have attached a picture. Sorry about that. Don't use it on your black trim around the wheel wells. I use Amor All Outlast Trim & Plastic Restorer.

Ahh ok. I've seen this before. Thanks for the photo.

I got it lowered now that the springs finally came in. I did the swaybar last week. Then gave it a little detail.

What's the ground clearance now?

Added at least 12hp with these for only $12! Wife and I really like the look. The ST badge stands out much better on the back. View attachment 7337 View attachment 7338

What's the ground clearance now?

The springs drop it just under 2" from the stock height.

@housegsx, I missed where you stated which springs you used. Steeda or H&R?

H&R.

 

[GearHead_1]

Thank you, thought that might be the case.

Thank you, thought that might be the case.

Honest question: What gave it away [Steeda vs. H&R]? Is one brand raked more, lower, etc?

Side note @housegsx - Looks great!

 

[GearHead_1]

H&R springs reportedly sit a little lower than the Steeda and the Steeda setup retains the OE-looking rake (front lower than the rear) where H&R levels the vehicle front to back. I had also never heard of Steeda springs giving a full 2" of drop.

Look at racingbrake.com
All info and pricing is on their site…and your dealer is stupid and talking about things they don’t know anything about.

So this happened last Friday! Sad sad day!
Some guy hauling ass and messing with his phone hit me in a school zone.
