Nice easy heads up on how to change springs. I done fronts on my son's yesterday 👍🏻 gotta do rears this morning. He's well impressed with new ride height. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻

Good job on this. Looks way better now

Very good guide. I'm gonna install the same springs as you, Eibach 30-35mm, on my Ford Fiesta 1.0 ecoboost mk7.5. So this guide really helps. Thanks mate :)

Great video. Just one quick comment. You really should undo nuts from bolts, so the 18mm(?) nuts on the strut clamp should come off then knock the bolts out. That way you don't have to use a socket extension either which will make it less likely to damage the head of the bolt by falling off it.

That thing you disconnected second is the anti roll/ swaybar drop link👌

Might sit couple mm lower after a drive. But looks great mate! If you're making it into a track car then you might want to watch spark plug steve who lowered his with Mountune springs but found it took his roll centre well out of ideal setup and actually made the handling worse.

Got the pro kit myself, drop is a bit misleading though [ manufacturers drop claim not yours ]as the pro kit also fits diesel models, drops the diesels 30-35 and the ST 20-25mm as it already has ford sports springs that are around 10mm lower than stock, nice work

So the Eibach are the exact same as the Mountune then. Just they give different base values? I did assume this as they make the Mountune ones

Did the top 3 strut bolts need torquing down? Got some whiteline springs to install next week

You removed the drop links, that connects to the horizontal sway bar, that’s correct.

Awesome, this is one thing I’m not sure if I could do myself in the driveway! Have you ever installed Autobeam ambient indicator rings? I know you did fog lights with indicator function. My indicator rings work when car is off but when engine is on they don’t light up orange for some reason, even Autobeam don’t know why, and I can’t see that anyone in the world has had this problem before :(

Car Rambles the indicators are wired the same way, 2 yellow wires using scotch lock clip into the indicator wire on both headlights. Both work when you press hazards or if you press ignition button and then do left or right. It’s only when the engine is actually on they just no longer work, it’s baffling :( I should say they have a side light mode, and that DOES work with engine on or not. And of course the hundreds of RGB settings all work from the app. Only the indicators :( all I can think is something is somehow interfering with them when turned on, but it’s only 2 yellow wires, 1 white (for the side light connection) and connected to the battery for power

xMeRk I had this problem also but I got it to work properly by changing the where you connect the wires,the indicators work in several of the ford wiring connections.Disconnect where you have the indicator wires and try them in one of the other connections,just push the wire in at the top and they should light up Hope that’s not confusing but what I’m saying is disconnect where you have them wired up now and try the other connections,Hope this helps

Hi Car Rambles, I have heard that fitting lowering springs hurts the handling/dynamics of the ST - I heard that Spark Plug Steve covered this in a video, I believe he mentioned that the factory STs body roll helps with cornering. Did you notice any handling cons after fitting the lowering springs?

@CarRambles

Жыл бұрын

No cons whatsoever with normal driving. My car was for the road and spirited b road driving. Spark plug Steve is fantastic though when it comes to his journey learning and developing a track car. If you drive like your on a track everyday then listen to spark plug Steve's advice as he's alot more knowledgeable when it comes to track, if you just want a cleaner looking car with no difference in normal or spirited driving on roads, then decide what suits you best.
