What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

[Gadgtfreek]

I’ve always been a Steeda fan, and I scored a great deal on the strut bar from a member here, so I figured I might as well go Steeda across the board. I’m warming up to the idea of lowering it, so Steeda springs are probably next. I just want to see how everything feels after this install before I commit.

Have also owned plenty of aFe stuff, good company. Actually running the panel filter now (non-oiled).

Ya I like the AFE in terms of the color and the mounting hardware looked good.



For the strut tower bar I'll likely go aFe because the mounting points do not use a spacer but a properly formed bracket on both bolts.

Just bought the aFe strut bar.

Spend that money lol

I was a Steeda fan too. This time, went with Eibach springs and AFe rear sway bar. Would highly recommend you go in that direction. I kept my Steeda strut tower brace v.1 and still love it--it does have spacers but I've never had to remove it so no big deal. Also got the Steeda subframe bushing support kit. Not a fan of the JXB insert so won't be getting one.

I went with Eibach even though Steeda was my first consideration. I don't know how Steeda rides, but the Eibach springs are perfect in my opinion.

As for the Steeda strut tower brace, I'm likely going to sell mine, and install a Houston Speed Freaks one. They just look better!

The Steeda springs definitely ride firmer. The Eibach is more comfortable and looks better--I do feel it has a "jiggly" feel to the ride though, maybe because they are softer. I even have new PIU struts/shocks.

I had the Steeda rear sway bar installed, and I don't feel that. I will be adding more suspension mods, but tune from Livernois is next.

It def feels better in turns now. I have to decide spring shock strut combo next. I love eibach but I may just go all steeda.

I want lower center of gravity but close to current ride. Not trying to ride like a mini truck with a 4” drop lol

Springs, rear sway, and don't forget subframe lockouts. Changes everything for the better in terms of handling without much sacrifice in comfort either.

Potentially fixed the leak on my passenger side from an improperly installed drain line.

Also added a kicker key500.1 and 12 in sub to the storage compartment.


Last project was add a flush mount bass knob to the headlight controller. Simple mod and I did this to my Bronco too.
