Eibach Front & Rear lift springs + anti roll sway bars

[HuntingPudel]

Hi,

Read through this thread and considering the lift springs for my GT. I know earlier in the thread it was questioned why one would want to lift a GT, but I prefer the extra clearance. Actually, got the GT because that was only available trim in my region at the time - otherwise would have gone Premium.

Is there any reason to think the Eibach Lift Kit won't fit a GT? I know Eibach doesn't list it as an option.

Is it also worth adding the sway bars?

Thanks.

There is no real reason for the springs to not work on a pre-2024 GT (IOW, a car without Magneride). ??

The anti-sway bars are the best bang for the buck modification you can make to the car if you are concerned with handling performance. Their value if you only drive in a straight line or if you drive like the proverbial grandma on a Sunday ride to church is questionable. Totally depends on your POV and use case. ??

Thank you @4sallypat and @HuntingPudel! I'll reach out to Eibach to confirm fitment, but probably go this route. I'll post my experience when I have it done.

From one that’s installed their lift springs and several of their lowering springs on many Mach-E’s, I can agree with the others you won’t have any issues with the lift springs in a GT (non Magneride) Mach-E and please please install the sway bars. Best mod you will ever do to the car.

Thanks, @markboris. Lift springs and sway bars ordered!

I just wish they would give us RWD folks some love regarding their lift kit.

If you ask Eibach to modify the lift springs to fit the RWD, they might do it for you - at an extra cost ?

They did it as a one time custom deal for me.

Just purchased the Eibach front and rear anti sway bars! They recently went on sale so I pulled the trigger. Excited to get them on the car!

The bars came with instructions, but I was also going to follow the repair manual's removal and installation procedures.

The repair manual instructs you to dispose of the end link nuts and bracket bolts once removed. Any particular reason to not reuse them? Are they single use and become compromised when removed?

Thank you. I see their price is now $564, same as full price available from the manufacturer for the sway bars. They do have 10% off some of the springs, though.

Tunersports has a 15% off coupon with free shipping and no tax in most states. Best price I could find at the moment.

I bought from Discount Tire on eBay. It may have been a Memorial Day sale IIRC.

Fourth of July is just around the corner. Retailers seem to like to have sales around major holidays.

The nuts are supposed to be single-use, as they are crimped locking nuts. When I installed my Steeda rear bar I just applied Locktite to the used nuts. I will probably do that again when I get off my fuzzy butt to swap the bars for the Eibachs. I got new front end links and nuts for the Eibachs since I threw out the old ones after installing the Steedas. ??

Not sure why they want you to replace the frame bracket bolts since they do not have anything remarkable about them. No necking for stretch, perfectly spiral threads. I just re-used mine without Locktite and torqued with one grunt and a groan using my calibrated paws. ??

Planning on installing the lift springs and sway bars this weekend.

Do you think a larger (taller) diameter tire is possible with the lift? Maybe 255/50R20 (also wider)?

Doesn't see that anyone has successfully changed tire circumference in forscan. Anybody know?

Also, how do you modify the TPMS values if I get higher load tires and want to run them at a lower pressure (for the same load)? Don't see the entry under BCM in the forscan MME spreadsheet?

Thanks.
