I think the springs are more settled now. I also did the PIU rear sway bar and got an alignment. I am very happy with how the car drives now. It stays flat and planted on high speed turns, not as much body roll.

Last pic, after a fresh wash.

The car is lowered on Eibach springs and PIU struts/shocks as of last night. I'm guessing it will settle a little more.

What is the torque spec for the nut on top of the strut? I just did PIU struts. I don't have a 21mm pass through socket, I'll need to pick one up in the morning so I can finish the job.

I've had a noise when coming rapidly to a stop for a while. It kinda sounds creaky, it's a few quick jolts of sound as I'm coming to a complete stop. Just recently I started experiencing a new noise when turning left at certain speeds, usually over 25mph. I have to be turning at a certain...

My hangers are reversed from the video. I've noticed that the noise doesn't show up until I've been driving for a while. Maybe some thermal expansion element to it?

I'm about to install Eibachs and PIU struts/shocks next week. I have a talented front end tech at the Ford dealership where I used to work 15 years ago doing an alignment a few days after. Is there anything special I need to show him, or specific numbers to aim for? Do I ask him to just get...

Yes, that was done at initial install

I started getting a squeak after having downpipes installed. I've readjusted several times but no luck, it always seems to come back. I've narrowed it down to the driver's side but I'm not sure what it is. I thought it was the resonator hitting the heat shield, but it came back. Could it be...

Since you've had the Steeda and the PIU bars, do you notice a major difference in performance? What setting did you use on the Steeda?

I have a little bit of a creak when I stop too quickly and when going over bumps a certain way. I have a feeling it might be the strut bearing, so I want to replace. OEM springs will stay on the OEM strut, and probably tossed. So is it safe to say I won't need a spring compressor?

I am planning to install Eibach Pro-Kit springs and the PIU front struts and rear shocks soon. Can someone look at my parts list and confirm I have everything I need? Is there anything else I should replace while I'm in there? Will I need a spring compressor to get the Eibachs onto the front...

I guess I'll just have to measure and see how I can make it fit. I think the whoosh downpipes with the heat shielding will bring some challenges. I might have to cut or remove some to make it work.

Did you ever share pics of your Vibrant setup? I'm wondering if I can fit them here on my Whoosh/Thermal setup.

Is there a way to view the front camera at higher speeds? Like up to 10 mph?

No, it went away probably the same day I made that post, I just never updated it. Try pulling the battery terminal and see if it returns.

Just following up to this, a year later. That light went away on its own and never returned. No idea what it was.

What exactly is the common issue with the purge valve on these? On the Focus ST, they're known to go bad, and will cause a few CELs and worst case, the fuel tank can deform. There was a recall on it. Most people just replace them periodically as preventative maintenance. Some people have even...
