I have been wondering when Ford will sell the Rally version’s springs at the parts department. Is the Rally springs softer since it is slightly taller?

It is exciting to know that another suspension option will be available soon. Do you know the Eibach lift spring rate comparing to OEM ER or GT spring rate?
While I don't have the OEM spring rates, here are the Eibach spring rates:

Mustang Mach-E AWD (except GT)
Part# E10-35-054-03-22 Pro-Kit
Front – 160-220 lbs/in (progressive)
Rear – 1000 lbs/in (linear)
STD. Bat. Lowers: 0.9"Front, 0.8" Rear
EXT. Bat. Lowers: 1.2" Front, 0.9" Rear

Mustang Mach-E AWD (except GT)
Part# E20-35-054-01-22 Sportline Kit (lower and stiffer than Pro-Kit springs)
Front – 143-235 lbs/in (progressive)
Rear – 800-1089 lbs/in (progressive)
STD. Bat. Lowers: 1.1" Front, 1.2" Rear
EXT. Bat. Lowers: 1.8" Front, 1.6" Rear

Mustang Mach-E GT (not recommended for PE but I put them on my car)
Part# E10-35-054-04-22 Pro-Kit
Front – 148-235 lbs/in (progressive)
Rear – 799-1089 lbs/in (progressive)
Lowers: 1.4" Front, 1.3" Rear

Mustang Mach-E AWD (except GT)
Part# E30-35-054-01-22 Pro-Kit
Front – 200 lbs/in (linear)
Rear – 950 lbs/in (linear)
EXT. Bat. Raises: 1.5" Front, 1.5" Rear
STD. Bat Raises: 1.8” Front, 1.8” Rear

In case you are interested, I do know the OEM sway bar rates and posted them along with the Steeda and Eibach bar rates on the Eibach sway bar thread: (https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/eibach-sway-bars-now-avalable-for-the-mach-e.30162/)

Note: Early last year I had installed the H&R lowering springs on my car and was not happen with them. The rear was slightly lower than the front and had to use a thin spacer to bring it back up level. I'm not the only one that had this issue. I have since replaced them with the Eibach lowering springs and I'm much happier with them as they are the perfect height. They lowered the car 1/4" more than the H&R's did and the rear is 1/4" higher than the front. It is the perfect height for me.

I love the metal roof with 360 cameras and Magneride. The same combination Ford would not let me order on my GT-PE. ??

I would have ordered the same. I know we would not have wanted it because of the weight and susceptible to breakage but I don’t like the reflective property it has on my audio system and the bright sun that comes in on 100+ degree days and the cold on winter nights. Mine is insulated and covered.

Hi Mark, thank you for the information. It’s interesting to see that the lift spring’s rate is somewhat in the middle of the progressive spring. For your pro kit lowered springs, do you feel it firmer than stock GT springs or similar?

Since they are progressive and I believe the OEM springs were linear, they feel very much like the OEM springs when on the highway cruising but they feel more firm when driving it hard on mountain roads.

Eibach is looking for a GT or GTPE to test fit their springs.

This lift spring kit is not currently recommended for GT as they have not tested it.

If you live in Riverside/SB County - California, and you want a free set of springs installed, give Eibach a call.

Eibach replied and said the lift spring rate is based on the OEM AWD ER springs.

I’m looking at lifting mine and adding bigger tires to give it more of a smaller SUV feel. I had an XC60 before this, and I hated losing the height. So before I do this, I need to know…does it look/feel more like a SUV?

Yes, it looks more rugged with the lift.

You will see a 1.5" lift all the way around.

With the higher center of gravity, suggest you look at the anti roll sway bars that will flatten your power turns and curvy road ride.

Hey Pat, you're not alone with a lifted Mach-E anymore. :)

Eric (Rickless) came up to my place yesterday and we installed the lift springs on his Premium. It took us exactly 3 hours from start to finish. I also added a few FORScan mods, updated the BCM and GWM (latest two updates) then we dropped off the car at Les Schwab for a full alignment. He's going to drive it around for a few days, then chime in to let us know what the ride is like.

Some comparison photos of the stock and lift springs. The Eibach lift springs (silver) are taller and 1mm thicker.

Here's a comparison between Eibach's lift springs and their lowering springs. Measuring the height from the ground to the top/center of the wheel opening, Eric's lifted Premium is 32" front, 32 3/8" rear.

My lowered GTPE is just under 29" front, 29 1/4" rear. So between the two of us, about a 3" difference.

Eric's Mach-E is about 1 1/2" taller than a stock Premium and mine about 1" lower that a stock GTPE.

Looking forward to Eric's assessment on these lift springs. Sometimes I wish I had a bit more height when I'm carrying a full load of passengers and luggage. My larger tires would go well with this setup.

Love it!

Did the lift go +1.5" as Eibach stated ?

Looks great and thanks for the detailed photos during install!
