They do but if you look at the stock spring when you remove it you’ll see exactly which one you need to replace it with. The springs are counter-wound so they’ll only fit the side they are designated for.
Good to know. Thank you

Maybe a dumb question, but do the different part numbers for the rear springs indicate anywhere which goes on the right or left?

If they mark them up anything like the euro GT Magneride springs or these I found on eBay, it should be straightforward :like:

intresting this video indicates they recalibrated the mag shocks with FORD IDS software.

any idea what recalibration there talking about?
IDs has a ride height recalibration for the magnaride. Car has performed awesome with this setup for over 350 laps at road America.

something we can do at home or do we need to goto the dealer. The dealer would be aware of exactly what needs to be done?

It’s something that needs to be down with ids at a fire store. If your in Wisconsin I’d just do it for you. Doesn’t take very long. I wouldn’t pay a dealer more than 75 bucks to do it.

Has anyone that replaced their springs done the recalibration?

If..........it is similar to the magnetic ride system for the Camaro, I have read there is a ride stock height measurement in the system. Maybe it is used in the calibration of the shock and it’s compression and rebound. It likely needs to know how far & fast the shock has traveled from its zero, resting position, to determine how much to stiffen the shock up.

Nope. Never heard of it.
So looking at FORD IDS they have a height recalibration.

Fill tank with fuel
put car on a flat surface
do not sit in the car
run ride height calibration
and then done... sounds like it just adjust the right height sensors.
