    Coilovers

    Hey All, Although I liked the stance of the FV coilovers, they were just too harsh. Can't speak to the Graveyards, but the FV kit does not come with camber adjustment, so perfect alignment isn't possible without custom camber plates. Bought my KV kit last summer, so if they've added a camber...

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Took the plunge to Air Ride! Installed by Kean Suspensions here in Belgium. They were excited to work on an American model. Ride is plush, with fully adjustable rebound and dampening struts. Accuair E+ allows me to fully control ride height. I have 4 presets: stock height, lowered normal...

    FV Suspension Coilovers Installed

    Hello all! FV Suspension Coilovers installed. Pros: Ride height adjustability using included spanner wrenches; rebound/dampening adjustability by hand Cons: No adjustable camber plates, so perfect alignment isn’t an option. I’m visiting a suspension shop (Kean Suspension) here in Belgium next...

    Back-up Camera Issues

    I had most of these issues myself, until about three months ago. Due to a huge bonehead move, it appears to be corrected! I forgot to close my rear hatch when I pulled out of my garage. Since the European garage ceilings are so low, I dragged my rear hatch into a concrete beam. The rear window...

    Tuning for dummies

    Can’t agree more about PBD! Service was excellent and responsive, and their tunes, while providing substantial power gains, also improved the drive-ability of the ST. I chose to go with a Steely mount for more of a “floating“ look for my NGauge. Cables are tucked into the pillar. As for...

    Full 3" exhaust?

    I figured you were referring to the resonator, because they’re dual in dual out. As I said, mine was replaced by an x pipe.

    Full 3" exhaust?

    That’s interesting, because mine isn’t EU. In fact, the ST isn’t sold over here. I’m retired Air Force, working as a government civilian now. I bought mine through Military Auto Sales, and it came from the states (built in Chicago). If I’m not mistaken, there are still only two STs in Europe...

    Full 3" exhaust?

    @Kruppa No noticeable changes in performance for me on the low end, but the boost seems to kick in quicker. I have an NGauge tuner installed, which displays boost and I’ve programmed the LEDs to light up at boost intervals, and they light up a little quicker it seems. No data to support that...

    Full 3" exhaust?

    Hey folks, just wanted to throw an update on here. I’ve had a custom exhaust installed, finally. Thanks to COVID it’s taken longer than expected. It’s a cat-back, x-pipe, no resonator, into single-in, dual-out custom mufflers. 3” mandrel bent, welded all the way through. Tips are 3 1/2”. It‘s...

    Exhaust idea...

    I’ve been waiting since Aug to have a custom cat-back exhaust built by these guys: https://bfr-exhaust.com/, and it‘s finally almost here. Next week, Nov 4th! They specialise in turbo setups and are excited to get to work on an American model. Pics and video to follow....

    Where’d you get the step sides?

    FNG

    Since you brought up bikes, I gotta show mine because I’m proud of her! She’s an oldie but shes a beast! 2000 Suzuki TL1000R Here’s a pic of her and a pic of the fastest I’ve had her....in a safe environment, of course.

    Drop springs and alignment.

    Because I ran the previous gen H&R springs for 3500 miles, and they weren’t meant for the ST, the camber on the rear was off (positive, if you’d believe it) so my tires were worn unevenly. They’d rather wait until I have new tires to do the alignment. Luckily I had already ordered the tires...

    H&R springs installed

    My opinion: you should always have an aligment after suspension changes, but others may tell you different. My alignment appointment is tomorrow afternoon at a race shop in Charleroi. I’m anxious to see what happens since UNBROKEN has said he’s got rear camber issues. If there are issues, I’m...

    Nope, my alignment appointment is coming up on Tuesday

    Looking forward to your results!

    Drop springs and alignment.

    Tonight I was driving, level pavement, no load, and I have chirping coming from the rear tires, so there’s an alignment issue for sure. Anybody have 5he Steedas installed yet? If so, any similar camber issues?
