Hey all-

I have a '21 Mach premium I'm considering trying to do an OEM HP install on. There are bits and pieces of advice and part #'s scattered through threads here, but I was wondering if anyone has actually done this and has a complete list of parts, and any sort of cost estimate or commentary on how much effort it took (ie would you do it again).

I've looked up doing the same.. It's not bad.. change the 4 springs, add the camber plates(same time as springs), 2 sway bars, Splitter, spoiler, Gurney Wing, wider tires, lip molding.
I have not priced it.

This thread has a bunch of the parts..

Not sure why the camber plates are not on there.. I priced them.. $400 for OEM

Just comes down to your time and mechanical abilities. I've done Strut/Spring Swapouts.. I'd figure 2 hours a strut and you will get faster as you go.

I wouldn't bother unless you are going Autocross... I am doing SCCA Solo in the fall, and the camber plates are a nice quick option for it.

Good Luck and if you do it, post pics and how it went!

Rear bar is the only sway bar that needs to be updated.
HP track friendly wheel alignment is a must do.

Just my $0.02 as someone who looked into this and did 1 & 2, but not 3.
Functionally, I believe the two key adds to make it HP (or actually slightly better) is (1) the Ford Performance M-9602 kit (sway bars and springs; don't need the magneride upgrade from the kit as all Mach 1's come with the improved programming to take be able to advantage of stiffer springs) and (2) wider wheels/tires (you can get way lighter wheels than the OEM ones which will also improve performance over HP) to get to the 305-315 HP set up. If you are okay with even worse gas mileage then the (3) extra front splitter along with the rear wing+gurney flap could be added for additional downforce.
