Market Research: Affordable 07+ Sport Trac, 06+ Explorer & Mountaineer Lowering Kit

[psycareyo]

I'm dealing with a company on making springs for Gen2 ST.

I will be selling these springs to anyone that wants a set. They will be SIGNIFICANTLY less expensive than what has been around in the past.

These springs can be used with Adrenalin and all other trim levels.

If you have the same springs as the V8, they will work for the V6 also.

They will be 1.5" drop. They are still in engineering but I get CAD updates all the time. I'm really excited! Waiting on a few people to get back to me on their stock ST suspension measurements. I wanted data from other sources than just my own vehicle.

These will retain the OEM ride quality. I don't plan on making them stiffer but that is an option. What would you rather see?

Price???

how much? and will it work for an 06 eb ex?

I don't know how much yet. Probably around $650 or less depending on finishing costs.

Right now we are testing load and drop lengths.

It will fit any 06+ IRS explorer. If you're not sure, get the part numbers of your current springs and match them against the spring part numbers for 07+ Sport Trac's. If it's the same part number...obviously you're good.

The Explorer rear end is heavier so what i'm testing for the ST will be different on the Ex as far as clearnance under load.

So far I have a 1.5" drop prototype being tested. The net drop after install was 0" so we're waiting for it to settle. It should settle to 1.5" drop as the spring rate is the same as OEM and the spring is 1.5" shorter than OEM. Until this is done I will not be selling them. Probably will not be tray until after Christmas.

Also, they will fit other Explorers but the OEM spring part numbers are not the same as the ST. Thus, they will not feel the same.
