Supercharger Questions / HELP

[MCS]

Wondering if there would be issues with leaving off the lowering or grille mods ... might be reading too much into that though.

I'm lowered on Sport Progressives for Magneride cars and I've got 20" rims with a 35 sidewall. I spoke with the parts manager when ordering and he said it shouldn't be an issue with any rub. Once you put the supercharger on it's like a net addition of maybe 150lbs on the front max and lowering springs are stiff enough.

We will see!!!

I still have my 19" handling pack rims/tires in case it's an issue I can truck them out and Ford can put them on; then I'll sell my 20s and tires (as they have like 1k km on them) and get myself something in 19s.

Yes, I would like to know how it goes with the 20s. Thanks for the post.

I really love the look of the 20s on the car so would rather have something adjustable to dial it up slightly and maintain the look.

I'll see if I can remember this thread at the end of April and let you know. To be honest, not sure I would get 19" rims I would rather put that $3000+ (for rims and tires) towards adjustables.

Ive been reading that on the 24's (gen 4) upgraded OPG is not necessary... has anyone with a gen 4 had an issue...?

With the Ford Performance Stage 1 it's not a "requirement" but the Ford Dealership Parts manager said if you ever upgrade to Stage 2, with the plan to run a prepped surface, yeah, you better upgrade OPG, Half Shafts and Driveshaft.

I happened to look through my bookmarks and here we are.

There wasn't a major issue with the 20s other than the tire size in the front should have been 275/35R20 instead of 285/35R20 in order to avoid the tire grazing the fender flare pins on the dark horse.

I've since gone done to SVE DHP1 19" wheels and PS4S tires. Wheels and tires are DH HP OEM sizes.

In spring time I may go back to having 20s for the road however I have to conquer the poor mounting design of the DH Fender Flares first. That adhesive doesn't stick worth crap and when the plastic pins hold it in place, without adhesive, it looks kinda off at speed.
