So your tire size is a 30" diameter compared to the factory 28.5. Did you adjust your speedometer for the difference? If so, how did you do it?

I would have to measure again. But there is website that calculates the difference. I think it was half 1 mph at low speeds. So at high it was off by 1 mph. So, no I didn't adjust it. 2 reasons the factory rims are going on in November, for about half the year. I don't like messing with factory settings. I'm trying not to void my warranty.

I received last week from Eibach an email saying hopefully mid-November should be able to buy

Now that we have the production sample Eibachs in our truck we have a USED set of the H&R Springs for Escape at about half price....just 1 set at this price.

Indeed we hope to see first shipment of the new Eibach Springs for Maverick sometime in November.

Anything available for FWD yet? Or is everything only AWD?

Not sure about this spring side of things, but Scale Suspension has FWD coilovers.

Just finished installing some Escape lowering springs. They lowered about 2 and 2.5. I'll get some daytime pics this weekend. BTW the Escape 14mm camber bolts are also a go.

Update w/ more info and Q&A:

Part description and #:
Escape springs '20 to '22, AWD. Part # 28633-1

The ride is only slightly more firm than stock. The wheels are 20x8.5 et45 with 255/50. They did not rub before and so far I don't think they are rubbing now. I did have to add a 1/2 spacer above the rear spring seat to get the stance the way I wanted it. The springs the way they came made it perfectly level. 32" ground to fender on all four. So now it's 32 on the front and 32 1/2 in the back.


I took my stock steel wheels off at 38 miles and sold 3 as spares to members here, so I don't know what stock ride is like. The small amount of extra firmness is relative to the springs only. It's not annoying, but in hyper check out mode I noticed it.


Not on the bottom of the spring, on the top. The bottom (plastic & rubber) perch has a pin to prevent rotation around the raised metal part of the spring perch. The top metal perch is a bit longer than an inch and only has a rubber isolator. I had an old nylon cutting board I cut using the rubber isolator as a pattern and snapped it over the bulge on the upper metal spring perch. The stock springs are wound in opposite directions. The H&R springs are wound in the same direction. The upper isolators are symmetrical. So the drivers side went right in and the top of the passenger side, but I had to modify the passenger rubber isolator. I used a small grinding bit in a drill to remove a hump and shape the isolator for a spring wound opposite. I could have just bought a driver side lower perch but the pin would have been in the wrong place.

Yes, I had it all together and drove it a couple of miles and decided to come up with a plan to make the rear just slightly higher. The track width of the front and rear of the maverick are different and the rear looks lower when it's exactly the same height.


I usually do my own alignment. The lowering didn't really affect anything, but I didn't measure it before I started adjusting. I set the front camber -1, rear camber -.8, rear toe 1/8" in, front toe 1/8" out and left the caster alone. I will drive it a while and see how I like it. Make any adjustments. Then take it to a shop and have it confirmed and equal it out if there are any differences side to side.

I just used photo editor to lighten the picture because "puts black wheels on and takes picture at night"
I'll get some daytime pictures.

Yes, 2.5" Flowmaster 44 with black tip through a 4" fender exit bezel. It's not loud at all but I can tell it's running now.

Where did you get the bezel? Thinking of taking off my rear factory piping and running the exhaust out like this. Looks great.

It's really hard to tell what this picture is, but I was trying to show the bracket. I saved the side closest to the middle of the bumper and trimmed away clearance around the tip. I orginally saved both sides but one was so thin I cut it off. Now it is second cat delete with resonator and then muffler and tip.

Show a pic of your cat delete?
