Well hey might as well throw this out there. Try North Coast Performance.com it seems they arebpretty cheap on a set of springs struts and tear sway for svt. Wow I spelled a lot wrong but that's what you get with a touch screen lol.
if i were you marbs, id go with the ford racing drop, then go find a rear sway off a stock SES or buy one from an aftermarket company.
ill bet if you do a stock sway bar with a focus sprot rear stress bar and front lower stress you'd feel a huge difference.
oh, and since you have an 06 like me, most of everything you find wont fit yours. ford changed some stuff in 06. i think the front stuff is different, but the rear is the same. make sure w/e you buy will fit the 06 though. look in the W/T/B/S thread on here for a complete explanation.
and mike at hillbish can get you a good deal on the FR drop. which includes everything(except sway bar) and the springs installed on the struts for the front
I'd try the SVT suspension. I hear it's good for the DD. I have a set of SVT springs that I'm going to, hopefully, install by next weekend. Just word from the grapevine as a starter until you get the kit you want.
I'm leaning towards springs. We have the springs in stock at work because whoever ordered them didn't want them, so all I need to do is call Ford Racing and get the strut kit.
oh by the way.....it's a slim chance, but (Hold On SVT) have you been to any Jiffy Lubes lately? [] there was a red SVT at the Jiffy lube on 9th E and 5600 S....near my house.
lol I don't wanna take it there, either........doing everything myself, now. Now Tunex is different, but I don't really want to take it there anymore just cause I know how to do most of the stuff anyway.
but still, there was a red SVT parked there, I tried to get a picture but it was WAY too dark to do so........
i was just stating my opinion. No need to debate, plus i think we all probably have a good idea why i say that. lol
and i dont think i could tell you the last time i took any of my cars in to have something fixed. Only thing my focus goes in for is tires or emission/inspection
its so sweet. sometimes when im not paying attention it'll push my foot off the pedal and i almost kill it. but im getting used to it now. next i'll get a intake for it. =)
why get an intake?? just get a K&N drop in panel filter...... you won't regret it. the stock SVT box is just about as good as it gets, unless you get a CAI, but then with the snow..... I'd be afraid to. (even the rain we get) as far as I've heard, you'll get a pretty damn good increase in hp with just the filter......
unless you just want the noise of that awesome sucking.... [limp]
the drop in filter was a nice gain, I could actually feel a difference, as for noise take that little S shaped silencer out of the air box and that will make it a little bit louder[thumb]
damn, a time when almost everyone's on....... how much snow you guys get up there? here's my example for the day
(ok pics coming, stupid camera )
BTW, I take it you got/have one now? nice [thumb]
