Didn't think any of the Ford Performance kits had loaded struts but never really searched for one. You have the answer - people either compress their own struts (it's not that big of a deal with basic common sense and safety precautions) or have shop do it.

I have been swapping it with factory VDM multiple times and never bothered to disconnect the battery. If you're getting suspension fault check the damper and ride height sensors connections but the unit might be bad as Brian mentioned above - it's not the battery not being disconnected during...

I'm going, don't think anyone else that is here is signed up.

There at least one CSM car that got flood damaged, Marty Montagno's convertible had water pretty far up but when I talked to him in the trailer, car ran that afternoon so might be ok. When I got there Saturday night at which point rain has been almost gone, river had about 3-4 more feet to go...

Bristol Motor Speedway, Summer Nats. It's basically TN/VA border. Entire lower paddock basically became a river. Also, I seriously took tire blankets (see trailer pic) with me to what probably was by far the hottest weekend of the year - at least so far.

Yes - because when your rear suspension compresses, the rear wheel moves straight in a vertical direction. For sure. (this is super heavy sarcasm if it isn't clear)

Driving 20 mins back to the site at 1:30am to rescue the car from floodiing and then again moving trailer and other belongings out of the 2 feet of water at 7 am (during the night excursion we did not think water will get that high) was a fun experience. I get now how people die in flash...

Same - last local we had ditch aka bushing killer (made delrin bushing on friend's BST car literally explode) and I was slamming my splitter in it every run. No damage at all. They're pretty great.

btw - adding to what Nightmaremoon said above (yes, all endlink get loose and OEM one do get bent), they get bent from stiffer aftermarket sway bar, not really from the springs themselves. Just put loctite under jamnuts.

Yes, they're bullshitting you. Camber arm slides (in a "horizontal" direction) on its inboard joint and it is kind of pain in the ass to adjust (toe changes with camber) but they just don't know how to do it despite manual showing it pretty clearly.

I do - had someone asking in PM about shipping but honestly had no time to even get an estimate on them and likely won't have time to do so for at least another month. If someone wants to pick them, available anytime.

Any idea of the weight of these ? Very tempting, bad timing.

Permanent (why ??) or when you work on the car ? For work, Milwaukee's M12 underhood light is awesome.

Same (Autoblip one), install was one of the most pain in the ass things I've done to this car (and I've done a bunch) but not impossible just requires you to be a contortionists so anyone thinking about it should go get some lessons.... The wide pedal offered by some aftermarket part companies...

Absolutely - many times - and he's been able to identify P/Ns of things that are buried deep in the car and hard to identify - like piece of F150 tailgate assist (that sits inside the tailgate and you don't really have a clue how it looks). Benny is truly an expert when it comes to Ford parts.
