What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
Nick Halstead replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
If you put it on the outside, you wont be able to see out the car!!! Ahahhaha -
So at about 20k unleashed tuned and abused miles, my transmission came out, and internals were bench tested. Passed with flying colors. I had an irregular housing and was leaking transmission fluid
-
because each spring could just have a different part number just for the trim it is on, but in reality be the same exact part
-
I have this also. Love it!
-
I always said, if Im wrong on the suspension, Id gladly admit it. Just makes no sense to keep that data private imo
-
Lots of manufacturers price parts on model trims. Have a high end model, it may be the same as a base model part but because you paid more dor your vehicle we gonna make you pay more for a part. All about taking advantage of the unknown

Yeah thats horrible. All the Mopars I work on already have the mid muffler delete done. Cold starts in the garage sound amazing!!! -
Specs were flying off the shelves before the 15 Edge Sport hit lots. Oddly all kinds of specs for the ST are available all over the net but ZERO details on the difference between the 15-18 sport tuned suspension and 19 ST or even the difference between a base 19 and a ST. http://www.motortrend.com/cars/ford/edge/2015/2015-ford-edge-sport-awd-review-first-test/ “If the idea of chasing a Porsche (SUV) on curvy pavement is how salespeople are churning sales and contributing to the 10 days in inventory spec, then the more power to them. Saner Edge owners-to-be will notice the sportier suspension packs all the right numbers: coil springs 10 percent stiffer than the base units and 15 percent stiffer anti-roll bars with the appropriate accompanying shock absorber modifications for tight body control. The ride is firm but surprisingly supple on smooth roads. On choppier sections, the wheels chatter a lot more, as we expected.”

All that jibberish and no specs. ZERO on the suspension specs. Why would they do it? To save money because they already had the Sport tuned Suspension and they know 95% of ST owners will mever see a track

I'd say a HEMI, cold start is even worse. the 3 scatpacks and 2 hellcats I've had for a few weeks would wake up the neighborhood when I started them in the garage at 4am -
The Edge ST is nowhere near the same level as any of those, I'd rate it even under the Focus ST in that lineup of GT350/RS/ST. If this was a Ford Edge RS, I'd say all kinds of things were done to it, but it's not, it is a ST being released during a facelift. Go back and read any pre-release news articles about the Edge ST, zero details on dampening/spring ratios/stiffness. Not a single article as any data on this, the pre-order sheet, zero data and not even a STAR that mentions changes from 2018 model year to 2019 model year. Watch it come with stiffer/bigger/ sway bars and the exact same shocks/struts/springs.

And when (and if) specs of that are actually reveled. I’ll accept it. Though considering same exact ride height and Fords general business ways of saving every penny they can. Im betting its a carry over. And the fact they dont mention nothing on the order guide other than changing the name from “sport tuned suspension” to what it is. You giys are expecting too much from the ST. Ford hit a double with this. Its far from a home run.
-
And notice the * (star) symbol at bottom left of every page that denotes “new for model year” what does it not have beside it. not A star. It has a dot which means to me, it's a carryover item, because if this was a complete new system, it would have a star. I could be wrong, but all along I've said Ford just reworded the term "Sport tuned suspension" that it used from 15-18
-
Did you read the order guide you posted? It lists all the changes. One item not listed in changes. The suspension
-
I dont think you have been following. Suspension is same as previous Edge. 8spd transmission should make for better mpg not worse. Shit Im maintaining 21mpg on my 92 tune for the past 30k
-
Just feel that the Used market will be an option if paying $50k+ on a Edge https://www.ebay.com/sch/Cars-Trucks/6001/i.html?Body%2520Type=SUV&_fosrp=1&LH_BIN=1&_mPrRngCbx=1&_udlo=45%2C000&_udhi=55%2C000&_dcat=6001&Vehicle%2520Mileage=Less%2520than%252036%252C000%2520miles&_sop=3
-
and coded completely out via forscan
-
this clearly proves that the Edge Sport/Edge ST=same suspension
-
at $50k+ A lot and then used car market really comes into play in my opinion
-
with Auto Start/Stop on in a 2017 Audi S3, the drag times were only .0# off with it on and off. I can't find the current post about it in the 8V group

2016 Edge Sport (G2) Front & Rear Sway Bars
Nick Halstead replied to snmjim's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Usually when things are different, it lists a different procedure. Also considering that the Ford Parts diagrams are the same for both awd and fwd along with prices. Id say they are the same. -
2016 Edge Sport (G2) Front & Rear Sway Bars
Nick Halstead replied to snmjim's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Shit, I never even cared to check cause they were totally different on the 07-14. Well...even though I wont see my Edge for maybe a year, I'm down if anyone backs out. -
2016 Edge Sport (G2) Front & Rear Sway Bars
Nick Halstead replied to snmjim's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
I didn't really read through this, but I am assuming all the EDGEs that are in for the buy are AWD, as the FWD Rear Sway is different -
yeah I know, but I wont have my Edge till like February of next year possibly, so...
