Quick fix for the wipers to get them aligned properly once taken off is to remove them both, turn the car ignition on and press down on the wiper control and that will reset them back into the stock position. Big pain trying to get them lined up properly until I found out about this solution. Pretty easy install otherwise!

Thank you for making this video as I couldn't work out how the hell to get the shock back in the hub with out heating it up and I really didn't want to heat it up so thank you

Great video, thanks. I have ST suspension fitted to my VW Caddy, I rate it very highly.

I’m really enjoying you’re videos. As far as I can tell you are the only shop putting out professional mod videos for the ST. Thank you for putting theses videos out there. Can you recommend a reputable performance shop in California to work on my ST?

Great video. I'm putting these on my Subaru Forester this weekend and aside from the differences on the rear, is exactly what I needed to see. Thanks!

@@joer5085 It was an 05 XT. I only ran them for a few thousand miles before selling the car but they were great. Easy to adjust and was able to use the stock top hats for my needs.

love these videos and they also make we want that red!

This helped me a ton on my Mazda 3. They have basically the same suspension setup.

great suspension!

Good job men you explain good 👌👌👍👍👍

Bravissimo! Complimenti!

Really good video...

Yeah, great video. I'm guessing, given your experience here, your suspension improvement recommendation would be coilovers first and then maybe the rear sway bar isn't really necessary, right? And this car sounds great! In comparison to how I got my 2013 ST from the showroom, that's a function of what? Thanks!

What rims are those again and are you using spacers? If not was is the offset? Pretty great looking suspension kit for the price when compared to a separate spring and strut combo. Nice video and thanks!

To bad you have to use the stock top mounts for the kit. The BC racing coils have their own camber adjustable top mounts. The kit looks pretty good value for money otherwise.

I would love to do this to my car. But i need the ability to drive in winters in Michigan. Ride height issues

Dis you guys have to replace the rear camber arms prior to this install?

Bill did you put on wheel spacers after lowering ?

Bill Tumas, I just had a similar kit installed (Bilstein B-14 PSS) with new bump stops and adjustable rear toe links. I am hearing clunking noise when I roll over small bumps and when I turn the wheel back and forth. Though the suspension seems to make my car handle better the suspension feels almost loose when I roll over any bump in the road. Would you have any opinion on what might be causing these issues?

Newbie question: Could one follow the same installation instructions for the 13' Focus SE?

Maybe i missed it or its not really needed but the rear LCA, doesn't it need to have the suspension loaded on the ground to tighten?

In order to adjust the rear height, do you have to take off the wheel or any other part? Can you adjust the rear height while the car is on ground or you ya e to lift it?

Bill, I just installed this kit today and I cannot seem to adjust my ride height in the rear. I turn my Allen key a quarter turn out, and when I release pressure it will turn a quarter turn back to where I started. Lots of tension. Obviously I’ve done something wrong but I followed your video step by step so I can’t think of anything that I’ve missed. . Any thoughts? Thanks!

many people told me that the st-x suspension is more comfortable than stock, is that true?

Hey, I like the video... I got eibach prokit on my scirocco (2012) but Im bored of it. So i want to buy coilovers, but in my country the taxes are so high, I wanted to buy JOM blueline coilover. is this a bad idea ? could you please help? Thank you. and btw, im not a guy driving sooo fast and unaware, Im %90 calm. Nevertheless should I buy kw?

Ride height is fine on this car, not too high from the factory

ST STX or BIlstein B14? Which's better?? I' m not sure which to buy.

How is this working with 19inch wheels 19x8,5 ET 35 ?

I have the exact same suspension for my 2016 VW GTI. Had it professionally installed with a conservative drop. I don't track the car and baby it. This kit has been absolutely nothing but problems for me. Kit needed to be rebuilt after a few months under warranty and still problems. Never again.

out of all the times i have done suspension on cars, the one thing i can never get perfect is aligning the front suspension top hats the first time around. i always put it all together.. install the bottom to find out the top mount isnt aligned right. is there an easier way to get it right the first time? i just got a 2014 ST and want to do the suspension very soon.

After that, they are really easy to remove. Don't forget to mark the position of the wipers (I used a sharpie for it) so that when you put them back on, they're at the same position as they were.

Lowering with good quality components makes a noticeable difference. Lower center of gravity improves handling. Less roll in corners, less brake dive.
