Cooool! That's gonna look sweet! Personally I'm going for the low, sleek Urban Street Truck thing but that's gonna look great. Lookin forward to the after pics.

Clicking from the front sounds, from my limited experience, a lot like a bad CV joint. Seems unlikely on a new car but if you've ever heard a front driver with bad CV joints you know what I'm talking about. Not normal.

Excellent suggestion! Thanks! Took a 200+ mile road trip for work today. This included some rough roads in construction zones north of Atlanta as well as some speed bumps etc at my Alpharetta office. I am just tickled to death with the springs but they are definitely stiff. - Not in a bad way. I wouldn't be expecting to pounce on speed bumps regardless of the springs. There is no bouncy-bouncy coming off the other side of the speed bump - just a nice firm transition back to the road surface. Smooth blacktop = Awesome! Cornerning = A+ Looks like it's gonna 2 weeks or more to get my bent wheels replaced <_< Grumble...

Cooool! I love the Superman logo in black & white! With a life long nickname of Scooper, and shortened often to Scoop, my gamertag for PC gaming has been Scooperman for years. I have avatars and sigs with the big S in flames as well as all sorts of other custom variations. That would be sweet on my black Edge! Thanks for the link :D

Welcome! Lotsa good info and people here. Enjoy

Ooooo - a "Black Oval"... hmmmmm (mine's black) Interesting thought

I am no photographer but I took some more pictures with the freshly lowered Edge in the same place at a local park as my "before" pictures. All photos chopped to 25%. Camera takes big ol pics on high quality. Befores on the left - afters on the right: Different angles of course I was looking at these and some others of this view. Note how much/little of the spring/shock is showing in each. Change in height is pretty easy to see in these of the left rear. Again the different angle doesn't help in the comparison. Shadows notwithstanding... Another after of the right rear - Now a quick review of my opinion of the ride and handling after the spring installation: When I drove it out of the parking lot of NTB yesterday I was of course paying close attention. Maybe too close. Ride is definitely stiffer. Now that road and the Interstate I got right on are probably the worst roads in the state of Tennessee, to be fair. I was expecting this so decided I was going to go for a cruise today and feel it out properly. It was beautiful today so off I went. Let me tell you this little CUV feels like a totally different car with respect to cornering and handling! I wanted that and am most pleased with the feeling! It feels stuck to the road. The feeling of being kind of high up and maybe a little top heavy is gone. She doesn't like harsh bumps or rough roads nearly as much as she used to... but I don't either so all is well. More than well. This is a performance upgrade. Anyone wanting to do this should know in advance these springs are not lowering only. Some may call it a "rougher ride". I call it a truly impressive performance enhancement, which as with everything has trade-offs. I can't wait to get the wheels and performance tires on it!! HIGHLY recommended - H&R Sport springs :D

Nice! But I'm going for a look more like this... Same wheels... Can you picture it? I can! :D

I bought THIS exact piece. After some consideration I will not be installing it on my Edge. For Sale - $40 plus shipping. (still in the shipping box in the garage)

I did exactly that. Weird. I'm no forum noob but I swear I was getting a message saying no img code allowed. It was the actual {img} but with square brackets. Preview was showing the image ok but I couldn't post. Now to trim one down for a sig and/or avatar! Anyway, thanks

So as to not jack the threads I started my own HERE

Ok, so instead of jacking someone else's thread I will do this one for myself. I've got a black Edge SEL FWD with BAMR and the 18" Chrome-Clad wheels. Tinted the windows in the front with 35% Bought some nice 20" Zinik Z20 Violi wheels in black. Bought some sweet 275/45R20 Hankook tires (original tires = 245/60R18) - LINK Bought the H&R Sport springs - approximately 1.5" rear and 1.75" front lowering as well as stiffer for the handling etc. Got all the new FoMoCo sensors as well as the straps, clips, etc for the TPMS (to keep the original tires intact for sale HERE or future re-installation) Took it all down to the tire store (NTB, Chattanooga, TN) They call me this morning and two of my new wheels are freaking bent. ~sigh~ Murphy really rides my case. I've already contacted Tirerack and will be getting the issue resolved on Monday... but I went ahead and had the springs installed and a 4-wheel alignment so the tires/wheels will be a simple bolt-on. So, among the couple dozen or so pictures I've taken I have uploaded 13 plus one of the wheels. (all are in my Album, in reverse order due to upload..) The first 5 here are "before" pics (after tinting, no tire shine, before lowering) uploaded for this post - can't figure out how to insert a thumbnail into a post from my gallery/Album Next are 8 pics after today's lowering/spring installation, with a quick wash and tire shine -- but in my driveway which is downhill to the front and a little right-leaning. The car tends to "hunker" down in the back a little when I e-brake and park. This effect actually brings the front up a bit as well so these aren't a completely accurate representation compared to the before pics. You know. I'll get some flat ground pics tomorrow if it's nice out again. Also, I'm kinda ok with having pictures of the lowering on the factory wheels and tires. I really, really, like my Edge. Love it! :D Further after pics with the wheels installed to come. No later than next Saturday I hope :wacko: Wheels to be installed: I really think these are going to "go with" my Edge so well. If they look half as good as I expect on the car it will be a "marriage" and look absolutely beautiful. Classy! imho, of course Thank you for you time, attention, and responses

Lotsa looks but no one interested? Looks like I'll be driving around on the original wheels another week or so. I took all my stuff to the tire place last night for installation this morning. They called a little after 10am and told me two of my new wheels are bent. Sure enough, some idiot apparently slammed two of the boxes hard enough on their sides to flat spot two of my rims. Oh, what a frustrating anti-climax to what sort of felt like Christmas morning. I went ahead and had the H&R Sport springs installed and contacted tirerack about replacements. As the wheels are out of stock they have to get with Purchasing on Monday to get some from somewhere and to me. Anyway, better/different better pics, w/lowering and a quick tire shine. Mind you these are with the Edge on a downhill and slightly right-leaning driveway. Wheels and tires will go into storage intact asap so they will available to an interested party within a week or so. They will still have <2500 miles. 2100 atm.

Testing posting an image from the album instead of uploading into post again... Gallery link [~img]http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?automodule=gallery&req=si&img=499[/img] Photobucket link - nope - Hmmm, can we not thumbnail from the gallery as it does when you upload right into the post? I uploaded 13 pictures and don't want to upload them all again for a post. Hmmmmmm... wouldn't allow the Photobucket image tag [~IMG~] Weird because I used the option above the message body field in the forum and it won't allow it cuzza the img tag - added ~
