They are decent tires and look great but they flat spot terrible in the 275/55/20 size - sitting for a few days at a time makes it pretty shaky for the first 2-4 miles then it smooths out good as new - Firestone said this was normal but I don't like it - my next set will be different -

check the gasket too - they are multiple layer and sound like a bad manifold when they go bad -

Depends on the Tune - I wouldnt let it scare you at all - I have 50,000 on E85 running 500hp and a 12psi Blower - ZERO mechanical and I am still getting 14 when I am good - if I lost 33% it would be near 9% loosing 1/3 would be taking your mpg of 16 and going for 10mpg - try it and see -...

Bilstien makes the 5100 that will work - best performance ride yet

the factory one started peeling - this one is a fomoco billit item [Broken External Image]:

The panels were not painted - they are replacement inserts - the photo doesnt do it justice - at 50K miles - pummeling the pavement at 500hp - I am problem free and still turn heads - Despite all the naysayers to the project - wonder if I can get my 2013 Fusion Hybrid to go the otherway 60mpg?

Yes - to get a perfect alignment and 31" fender to ground - Bilstien 5100 - 2008 F150 4X2 and 4X4 Bilstien Adjustable Sleeve 9" Spring /650lbs I have a rubber splitter on the front and this means I have to flip on my front camera for parking - it might hurt to curb it

small change - switched to 9" 650# all the way around... still sits 31" front 32" rear - like the rake and the coilover feel...

Thank you very much - I will add a picture

Can anyone tell me the fender to ground on their 2010 STA, I have lost my origional data somewhere. With the Coilover set up, I am 31" Fender to Pavement which is about three fingers between the tire and the fender... the 5100's are incredible, smooth, firm, and flat in curves - I remember...

I run Bilstein 5100 in my STA - Firm/Flat and responsive unlike the factory stuff or reflex - part of that is the adjustable coilover set up but all and all - great for the $$$

I hear ya! they wanted near $500 to swap over coilovers - it wasnt that hard in my garage - jack stands, a jack, a pry bar, and a spring compressor - I suppose if I didnt have air tools it would have been a pain - great investment to have

So far I am very pleased - fender to tire clearance is between 3-4 inches and there is No problem with the rear shafts - when this weekend weather gets here - I will take some pix

To replace the springs that I had made in 2010 (one broke) normal ride and drive - no off road - Modified Bilstein 5100 F150 Shocks on a Lathe to lower the perch 3" and then got a Bilstein Coil Over Kit and some light weight Eibach race springs to make it balance out - This approach is...
