That's expensive! Will these work for an Explorer?
Thread to follow re: this over on SHOforum:

SHO/MKS/Flex/MKT should be the same. I don't think we got an XSport over to Megan for testing, so that fitment is still unverified.
Question is: will the fitment work for non-EB vehicles also? That would open up TCCA/FordFlex.net to "troll" for potential interest.

Expensive, um not really. I have coil over suspension on 3-4 cars and if I buy a set for the ExSport from BC, they would be the LEAST I've spent on a coil over kit. As far as fitting the ExSports, due to the extra 600 lbs we carry, I would hope they offer a different spring rate for us.

I ran BC BR series on my Mazda for years and many miles.
They're a budget setup. They're good for slamming an auto, but not much more than that. They have a wide range of adjustability built into the dampers, but they're pretty much feel-good adjustments and overall, they don't dampen well or perform well on a shock dyno. If you want performance, bark up another tree, but prepare yourself to pay considerably more. If you just want to lower or slam your ride, BC coilovers are pretty trusty and should endure for at least 1,000 dollars worth.

Somebody beat me to the punch. I was gonna take a ride over to BC to see what they could do for us since they are not far from me.

Thank you for sharing your past experience with there product. Doesn't sound like the quality level I'm looking for in coilovers for my Flex.

But it's not expensive for an unproven product that's not even available.....

They're in Florida, right? It's not like many of you are autocrossing your SHOs. Don't see why BC won't suit your needs. They'll probably ruin the refinement of the car though. They're typically over sprung.
