'22 Snotty Litte Bastard build

[Dr.Carvorkian]

So I picked up my Mav about a month ago, after ordering in November last year. Already had a few accessories sitting here for the project, and finally got around to installing most of it. We're certainly not done, but we're on the right path! Scale coilovers and a Steeda rear sway inderneath, 9.5" wheels running 255/55/18 BFG'S- so wrong, it's right!
If anyone has a lead on a front splitter, let me know!

The Mav looks pretty damn good dropped, I gotta say - and I'm digging the white rims

I like the blackout panel on the tailgate, how about a full shot?

Here y'are! This panel is available through Ford's accessory catalogue.

LOVE it. How you liking those coil overs? I’ve been curious about them but not a ton of real world info yet.

 

[RR - All the way]

Love it. I would consider getting the front windows tinted to match the back and perhaps add a 5-inch curtain tint on the front windshield. Whatever floats your boat! Great job!

I really like those wheels! I would love to have a black Maverick with those wheels.

A few days in, I'd say I guess they're not terrible. They come across as over-sprung and under-damped, though I continue to play with the damper settings. They're pretty jittery and nervous for a street setup, but they're what's currently available. The front struts are also not inverted, which isn't a huge deal on a street car, but is a common feature on many sets at around this price point.
Of note, the upper strut mount camber adjustment screws are not accessible once installed. The upper of the 2 main mounting bolt holes on the lower flanges are slotted though, so there is an accessible provision for adjustment, even if it's a bitch to get to with the front end lifted while on an alignment rack.
Not a glowing review, but they appear to be well constructed overall, and I don't anticipate any real issues, but I'll probably switch to H&R's once they're available.

Definitely going to look for some white wheels… they really pop.

Going to guess you got the low version
Make sure you check the preload, even ones with the sticker on them saying it preset don’t seem to be set
Those that have gotten the normal versions have said they ride wonderful

The scale coilovers are next on my list. I hope he has the low version? I want the regular version. I heard good things about them. Is he saying H&R is coming out with coilovers?

Nope, normal version. Preload was/is fine. It's not the spring rate that makes it a bit bouncy, it's the damper; to be fiar, however, I am coming out of a German car with very high-end track suspension. Not a fair comparison. The ride on these reminds me much of almost every Japanese tuner car I've driven.
