I believe it depends on if you purchase the FWD or AWD. The AWD should not be a issue as it uses normal coil springs at the rear, if you don't get too crazy, I'm sure the aftermarket will be able to produce something, perhaps even Ford. The FWD will be different as it uses Force Vectoring rear springs. These are designed to work with the specific type of axle used on the FWD Maverick. My guess is altering the rear springs or replacing them altogether, may result in less than desirable ride/handling. While I'd like to see a 1-2" lowering of the vehicle, I'm hesitant until more information becomes available.
We agree. I wasn’t clear that I was referring to FWD.
It would look better without the large gap above the tire. Also, I’ve driven lowered cars since 1960.
make it more street truck friendly. I want the same thing. 2” -3” lower. Like the Old GMC Syclone. Street sport truck. Tired of all these over sided Carolina squat tires past the fenders ugly monsters running around.
For me the lowering of the Maverick would put icing on the cake. It makes it easier to load the back or lean over the side to put something in the box. It may actually benefit the MPG, be easier to get into and just plain looks Kool. As I'm in Michigan, I have to watch just how low I go otherwise that white stuff in the Winter makes driving a pain. IMO, the new truck heights have really got out of hand, requiring steps or running boards just to get in. I don't see the manufacturers making these standard.....
I hear you. But 2-2.5” would still keep it at over 6”. Most sedans like your Acura are under 5.
