    Thanks for the heads up . . . 1 question though . . . About how many miles do you have on the rotors and pads? They appear to be almost new from the pics. I am seriously interested, but would like to know a little more about the condition of the parts. Have the rotors ever been...

    ST LED bed lights

    Here's my setup . . . . I actually wired a LED rocker/toggle in the place of a couple "dummy" spots on my console. Then I ran the wires under the dash, along the door sill and out the cab through the rubber grommet in the bottom of the speaker box. Then I removed the inner rear wheel wells to...

    Plug and Play Xenons

    Hey Bob . . . the link seems to be bad Also, I've been doing some local R&D . . . Obviously, the shops want my install business, so they'll tell me anything, but I'm curious just how plug-and-play these things are? Those of you with Gen 2 STs with Xenons, did you have to do any...

    2008 STA Tire Replacement Advise

    Well I ended up swapping the 275/55R-20 XL 117V B Yokohama Prada Spec X tires for the OEM sized 255/50R-20 XL 111V B Yokohama Prada Spec X tires so far, so good! No, I really didn't want taller . . . on one hand, it did fill in the wheel well nicely (despite the rubbing), but on...

    What Bulb Does the STA need to upgrade the fog lamps?

    The Gen 2 STA (2008-2010) comes from the factory with Philips 5202 bulbs, for the fog lights. Philips and Sylvania have both assured me that the crossover part number for the 5202 is either H16 or 9009 (one in the same). This is confirmed by several after market websites as well as by...

    Rain X Wiper Blades

    IMO, they are the best blades ever . . . I've probably gone through 20 sets, between each of my vehicles . . . I also recommend using the Rain-X windshield bug/tar cleaner. I mix mine with 1/3 to 1/2 distilled water which still provides crystal clear glass, but without the streaking...

    Mysterious Button on Dash

    I checked into this "dummy button" a while back . . . When I removed the console I saw the wiring harness & wondered if I could get the factory button from Ford. Then reconfigure it for a multi-purpose aux switch while maintaining an OEM look . . . I contacted Ford & they weren't able to tell...

    Silverstar Lights

    Based on Dingo's feedback, pics, etc., I think I may just go with some of the V-LEDs (I'm leaning towards 6000k) Headlights: http://www.v-leds.com/iListener/Control?vpid=4782975&details_popup=true Fogs: http://www.v-leds.com/iListener/Control?vpid=8964759&details_popup=true

    Any SCT 1-2-3 directions

    I believe SCT's website actually has some step-by-step tutorials that may additionally help . . . I couldn't find it right away, but here's a link to their knowledge base where I know they at least cover updating your devices firmware, backing up your stock tune, loading custom tunes, etc...

    Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I've been doing a little more reading on the Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires & I've decided to take them out of the equation, but came across these instead: Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza...

    I'm almost positive that there is a TSB regarding the steering wheel controls, but I can't recall the exact description, etc. I'll see if I can find you the number

    2008 STA Tire Replacement Advise

    Hey all, a little advise if you don't mind . . . I FINALLY wore out my factory installed 255/50R-20 Pirelli Scorpion STR tires . . . Those tires were a nightmare from the beginning (road noise, bad vibrations, etc.). Last April, I replaced them with a little wider and better rated tire...
