update!

The coils are still on the car but about 2 months ago i started to here a clunky noise coming from the top of the shock. i got in touch with danny over at Megan and he said due to the wait he thinks that it might be bottoming out and might need to be re-valved. I also think it could use a step up stiffer spring as the front end does seem pretty soft. For now i just adjusted the pre-load on both front coilovers to help with the softness. after doing so it feels like a much more even ride where as before the front seems loose and the back felt tight and sporty. I should have an update within the next month as the car wiill be going into the shop to have an air ride system installed along with having the struts fixed (the clunking noise).

Here's how it sits currently

I absolutely love it! I'm hoping they sort out the clunking issue soon! BTW what wheels are those?!

Any mods needed to prevent rubbing? What tire size are you running?

you need to adjust the front camber to -2 degrees with either camber plates or some other way that i'm not aware of. I am running nitto nt555 extreme zr 255/35/20 and have no rubbing what so ever. I am currently sitting as low as the coils will allow and have no rubbing.

I am curious how to take some camber out of the back though becuase its almot -3 degrees and i would like it to be the same as the front. I have already loosened the the control arm nut and pushed it out but i would like further adjustment

Update

I spoke with Danny from Megan and he said to his knowledge Megan is still planning on manufacturing these. He didn't give me a time frame but if and when he does i will let you guys know

Has anyone here tried these?! I found them on eBay last week. I tried on 2 separate occasions to contact them and confirm whether they fit 2013+ PP SHO's but never got a response back. It's not listed on their site for some reason. I'll call them by Friday if they don't get back to me before then.

if that is the actual top hat they are using i i can guarantee it will not fit. The top hat on mine has the camber adjustments bolts recessed significantly lower then those and they are close. Also Being that megan and bc are the same company o doubt that these will work if the megans aren't available yet.

Those pics are not the actual coilovers (at least that's what it says in the part of the picture that got cropped out).

Thanks for the info on BC and Megan being the same company. I had no idea lol

So apparently Megan and BC Racing aren't the same company?

This email reply from my compatibility question was a little difficult to decipher, but I think it means that they do fit the 2013+ SHO

I ended up emailing them, since the reply wasn't clear on whether the coilover's really did fit the 2013+ cars. Here' is the reply:

 

[SHOdded]

The kits from 2010-12 and 2013+ would be different simply because they use different mounting arrangements to the knuckle, if nothing else. A kit built for the 2010-12 will not directly fit the 2013+ MYs, at least up front.

And AFAIK Megan and BC Racing are not the same company, though their products may be manufactured by the same company, which has no correlation to equality of quality

 

[SHO T1M3]

So I just heard back from BC Racing after emailing them pictures of the front steering knuckle (pictures attached)... they maintain their position that the coilover kit they offer fits all 2010-2016 SHO's.
Anyone with a 2010-12 able to verify if it looks the same?

 

[SHOnUup4]

Not the same...look on Ford parts and you'll see the differences

If they were in fact the same as they are claiming, megan would be selling them already for the 13+ platform
