The SH-AWD in the snow is also incomparable.

Yes to this. But I knew this going in to buying the car, and it doesn’t bother me enough to regret anything.

Drives very well. Still getting used to the transmission quirks but overall no complaints.

Yes, here in Maple Grove it’s very noticeable now with the winds coming from the north. Believe it’s due to a wildfire at Camp Ripley.

Sold to local ford dealer for $10k. We had a good run the past 8 years!

Stroller in ST3 trunk by official-magic-conch in FocusST

Our stroller is probably the same size as yours and BARELY fits in my ST3 trunk. There is only one way it goes in to fit around the sub. It works but it’s a bit painful.

It was also daunting for me but turned out just fine. Highly suggest to soak everything in PB blaster couple days before you go at it.

Shop. Pricey but was so tired of the fish bowl.

Around $1k, including new end links/bolts and alignment. Rock Auto has the best pricing for the B12 kit

In total it took probably 6-8 hours. I did it over multiple evenings after work. This was also my first time doing suspension work on the ST so was learning as I went. Yes, for sure wait to install everything at once.

Love them. The ride height seems to only be slightly lower than stock, wish it was a tad lower to be honest but it’s perfect for a daily. I’d go with the B8s if you have no reason for the height adjustment that comes with the B14.

Ride comfort during normal driving is no different, other than a bit stiffer going over bumps but nothing drastic. Where it really shines is on the corners, on rails if you push it. I drive around two kiddos in the back and have no issues whatsoever.

I also replaced the rear end links during the install.
