No leaks at all. Check to make sure that your o-rings in the tire pressure sensors are not over tightened. When wheels are swapped the "tire pros" tend to over tighten them and they leak. One quarter turn past finger tight, with a dab of red loc-tite. If you have band sensors, have the tires removed and re-seated, ask them to use a little extra tire bead wax (the stuff they smear to help the machine).

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but aside from getting a different sound from the air box, this is not much of a performance mod. With the snorkel removed you are sucking in hot air from directly behind the radiator. If the sound is what you are after, use the airbox silencer delete plug from Steeda made for the 3.5 Fusion.

Don't I know it! My first priority this morning was to have it fixed. I was in a hurry to leave Friday and didn't look at the printout. Here is the new one.

I did about 250 miles of driving including about half highway and half very curvy roads on a short day trip up to Sedona and a little beyond. I got the alignment the next day. Im sure there are a lot opinions on this, but i have modified the suspension of almost every vehicle i have owned and springs don't take much time to settle. I put Eibach camber bolts on both sides during the spring install. It looks like I am headed back one more time though, as it is still pulling to the left a little.

I'll let the photo speak for itself. This is for all those that ask if an alignment is needed after installing lowering springs. I had my Edge Sport aligned less than 2 months ago, and here is the sheet after installing H&R springs.

It sounds like the setup you have is working for you, the LC2 seems like the perfect option at this point. If you can get a full range signal, it will give you up to 8volts on the preout, so you get MUCH more signal and you'll get bass frequencies from 20hz to whatever you like. The factory Sony sub is 60-90hz range according to an installer I talked to with an analyzer, so getting a full signal and crossing your sub over around 120-150hz is going to give you that midrange punch you are after.

Without all of the other trim painted black like the Sport, a black grill may look weird. Matching it to your body color would look nice, but (and since the bumper is easy to remove) I wouldn't do it unless you can afford to take it and have it sprayed at a paint shop. It shouldn't cost more than $200 and you could have them add extra coats of clear to entire bumper to protect from chips. If you just rattle can spray over the chrome grill, you will be seeing (and respraying) chips in your grill constantly. Here is all black With some LED running lights and some factory 20s from the classifieds it will look very nice.

I would guess that the signal from the head unit itself doesn't have any processing, usually that is done at the amplifier. If you use an AudioControl LC8i, even if the head unit does the processing, it will sum all the frequencies into 6 or 8 full range RCA outputs. I have used this piece many times over the years, most recently on a VW with the Fender system, and it works great! Good luck PS- due to the very complex electronics in our vehicles, I would recommend you take the time to solder and shrink tube the connections, cleaner signal and safer.

I love you man! A wrenching I will go.....a wrenching I will go.....

That is awesome!! Anyone know where I can get that for the fronts?

I am doing a spring install tomorrow and need someone with access to a shop manual for some torque specs. I need the rear lower control arm torque, the lower strut bolts torque and the front strut tower bolts torque. In the past I have used the RFT (really frickin tight) method, but I'd rather have the correct numbers this time. Thanks in advance.

I second the motion for Hawk HPS pads. The difference in braking is very noticeable on my '11 Sport. Less dust, stronger stopping and great initial bite. You get what you pay for with pads.

Just use some double ought "00" steel wool.

I adjusted mine 1/4 turn up and put Sylvania Silverstars in them. They are amazing now. First just try a quarter turn up and see what you think.

PM me a price please. I also need width, offset and updated pics if you have them.

Like many of you I have painted my chrome trim on the front of my Edge. After going through 5 different black metallics I have found a perfect match. It is the Honda black sand pearl by duplicate-color, I covered it with VHT clear wheel paint since it has better gloss than duplicate-color and is MUCH more chip resistant. I'm not sure if these photos will show it well enough, but it is almost perfect.

It does strike me as weird that (and I'm not trying to bash Steeda) but look at their page for Fusion parts and it is packed! I have never even SEEN a modified Fusion. Since the Edge is based on the fusion, I wonder if any of those parts, like the shocks or adjustable camber ball joints would transfer over?

I fully understand your point on business models and demand, but the research has already been done. The products were previously readied for market (intake, springs, sway bar). Why discontuinue? Why not just stock less product? for Steeda in particular, you cant tell me that Mustang part sales do not offset the low volume that Edge parts move. Yes, the Edge is heavy and will never be FAST, but everyone likes to modify, look how many modified 107HP Civics are running around. Ford has consistently sold over 100,000 Edge per year since 2010. I just can't believe that Ford-centric companies such as Steeda and Roush can't justify intake/exhaust/suspension sales.

I'm sure that a lot of you know this as the Steeda website has not been updated for the Edge for many months, but I contacted them today to order their sway bar and see if there were any more intakes available. Not only was the answer a rude "no, we're done with the Edge", but I was told there would be no more support, research or new products. SAD

Your Edge should be filled with 50/50 from the factory, so you would just add 50/50 to top it off. An antifreeze tester (refractomoter) is a $5 piece at Autozone if you want to test it. You could do 3-4 fill and drains with distiller water, or drain and fill with mixed coolant and do another in a couple weeks. I just did mine on my 2011 Sport and it was the same, only about 5 quarts came out. I filled it with mixed coolant and tested it with the tester and antifreeze strips which show contaminants and it was fine. Unless you are always towing, drag racing or operating in extreme temperatures I wouldn't try to get TOO technical with it, you are liable to break more than you fix.

Pics...or it didn't happen

I second that on OEM size. I have found that the Pirelli Scorpion ATR is a good tire for occasional off road. Go to Tirerack.com and search under the categories and read the reviews.

Search is your friend. Look through the photos and read the captions. http://www.fordedgeforum.com/gallery/image/2525-img-0079/

I was actually thinking of talking to the people at Procharger to see if their supercharger kit could be modified to fit a transverse application.

I received my AFE Pro Dry filter today and popped it in. I also removed the intake silencer and plugged it with a plastic 3.5 inch plug (go Home Depot). I immediately noticed better throttle response, but what I couldn't believe is what my G-Tech pro tells me. At 109 degrees outside, I made 259 HP wheel measurement with a 6.8 second 0-60. After the filter it reads 267 HP and the 0-60 dropped to 6.65. These runs were within a half hour of each other, and my OEM filter is almost new so no clogging issues. I don't know, maybe this motor just wants more air. I also installed my remote start, coded my new keys and stared at my Eibach springs and Steeda sway bar sitting on my bench, it's just too frickin hot here in Phoenix for wrenching at this level right now. I'm taking my parts to the Luke Air Force Base auto shop next weekend, it's air conditioned!!
