Hello fellow auto enthusiasts. I finally got a 2nd ford in the driveway. Im disappointed that it's not another mustang but glad its a ford.
Last Tuesday I took delivery of a 05 Dark Blue Eddie Baur 4x2 V6 Explorer. The only options on it are 3rd row seating and auxillary ac unit. I almost ordered parts for it Monday night, but the wife talked me into waiting until we took delivery. I listened to her since the expo is supposed to be her car. So, Tuesday I moved the wipers down, debadged the expo, ordered cai, clear corners, window tint for front doors, and a pats3 key. I just installed my escort 8500 radar detector today. I will probably order lowering springs tomorrow.
My other Ford is a 98 Crystal White V6 Mustang. Ive lowered it 2" w/ eibach springs and tokico struts/shocks and added poly bushings, strut tower brace, steeda g-trac bar, custom subframe connectors, caster/camber plates, 8.8 rear w/ 3.73s and tloc, solid lower control arms, rear sway bar, and an aluminum driveshaft. OE 15" wheels were tossed for 99 Cobra 17" wheels and tires w/ Hawk performance pads to stop a little better. The stock wing was replaced w/ a Saleen S351 wing. The stock lighting was replaced w/ cobra headlights and clear corner lamps. Sequential Turn Signal modules were added to the taillights. Custom fender emblems were made from Cobra II door emblems. The engine has had some minor tweaks so far ... ASP crank pulley, MAC cold air intake, half-shafted and polished TB, custom H-pipe, flowmaster 40deltas, and 99GT tailpipes. I'm hoping to fully polish and port the intakes, heads, and do a cam swap by summer 06. The interior has been treated w/ billet pieces from MGW and a 99GT leather steering wheel. The stereo has been beefed up a little w/ JL Audio subs, Altec Lansing components, and HiFonics amplifiers. Another escort 8500 radar detector keeps me out of trouble w/ the law.

is truckexpressions the cheapest place to get ground force springs? are there any write-ups on installing these springs on the 05? how do the GF springs compare to FRP or Eibachs?
