Imo you just need to put the back one on. Gives less vibration and still does the job.

As I recall the front mount was removed mid 2017, it was never a pp or non pp thing. There are 3 different engine cradles again as I recall, it’s been a minute since I worked deep on these cars (reason I bought A new one when then ended production so I won’t have to work on them anymore lol) they made a change almost ever year 13-19 to the steering rack that was mostly programming but in 2016 they also changed the mounting for the rack, the shoulder on the 2 mounting bolts got bigger so you can’t use a 13-15 cradle on a 16 and up and then sometim in 17 they removed the front trans mount tabs hence the 3 different cradles. Just some fyi. Does anyone know where I can get the tabs to weld onto my cradle Btw? I have a mount for the trans and a dog bone that I kept from an old build knowing they removed them from the last years knowing I was going to buy a new car while I still could but forgot to cut the tabs off any cradles before I got rid of them all. Also what’s the link or site to get the aftermarket mounts for that guy that makes the upgraded ones? I bet I’m losing .3 tenths or more off my 0-60 and 1/4 times with the soft ass launch I have. I run soft Michelin’s But even with all the added power I don’t even bark the tires on a launch and my draggy times show I’m losing a lot on the dig compared to my old cars times that Had less power.
Sorry can't answer that, I will say this.. maybe Tony D can hook you up? Send him and email, maybe just maybe he knows something.
So I added mine today. And I can feel the difference, as well as the vibration in the wheel. After everything was said and done forgot to grease gun them......... any thoughts while I am breaking them in. Wasn't in the mood to get it back on my friends lift. I will have the tuner bump my idle up 50 RPM for now.
Looks good I can't wait to try mine. It's been in the shop while getting all the mods together. Plumbing the standalone ptu cooler soon then gotta run the lines for meth and get alignment

Yours does look great. Did you have the lower arms replaced or taken off and painted. Those look like replacements. You have a name of the vendor to share?
Gotta say, couldn't find the source while under the car, but there was a drop of transmission fluid pooling under the transmission. I love and hate this car, my transmission was replaced under warranty around the 15K mile mark, so wtf? Sitting around too long without driving, or poorly sealed, or from an overfill? There is no piddle in the garage so wtf? Can someone tell me if there was a small amount of overfill where would it exit from?
Sorry to hijack the theead...
The truth is I felt the vibration in the wheel which seemed to get a little better after driving. Shifting under load is remarkably better, so much smoother experience.
oh man a trans leak wouldn't be the best. Shouldn't it still be under warranty hopefully. I'm having mine looked over whenever those new clutch packs come out and I can have the LSD packs installed while the trans is out. Never had any trans problems yet myself so I'm knocking on wood. If it makes you feel better mine grenaded the rear turbo wastegate at less than 40k miles so I feel your pain because I also had a rear main seal leak as well.
The parts are mevotech for the control arms and I just painted them before they went in and the BC coilovers were already painted. The sway bar is a White line and on the front we're trying the heavier mevotech outer tie rod ends.

Very nice and thanks for sharing, I have my Whiteline sway sitting in my living room, the wife doesnt like that much. I am looking for H&R springs, get replacement Ford PP front struts, and some Monroe severe duty shocks for the rear, last feat - find some shop willing to do the work without gouging me, and competent in 4 wheel alignments after the changes.

What are those black coils in the front - from the BC I take it - I have no experience with coil overs.
I had a 2013 PO SHO and it had both front and back, but I have a 2019 PO now that only has the rear (I think). Strange. I thought it was just the 2019 they changed that but I could be wrong. Frustrating though ahha.

I have the SSM mounts (Hybrid, Gen 4 or whatever they call them) and they were good at first. The NVH did come down after a while but as soon as it did the wheel hop was noticeable again at low speeds. Still vibrates and still not stock comfortable. I will be buying the Anthony D mounts as well and just deal with NVH by raising idle RPM. More alternator amperage at idle anyway.
Yea the black coil is from BC it's replacing some H&Rs I had on there which when paired with the PP suspension is genuinely one of the best handling cars I've driven. I spent last summer shopping through
S4's
S3's
GLA 45
Audit TTS
Giulia TI
m2's
M240ix
m550ix audi
A6
and probably a few I'm forgetting and nothing handled like the PP SHO with H&R's and Conti Extreme contact all weather's
You owe it to yourself to get H&R springs if you have a PP car..Highly recommend!

Keep in mind the front sway bar for the PP is actually slimmer and lighter than non-PP versions. You’d think you’ll want to keep the beefier one and just change struts, coils and shocks to PP but the car will ride like shit. Make sure to also swap the front bar if you do the conversion if you’re planning to.
Same goes with HR springs on non-PP suspension. Harsh, uncomfortable ride and complaining passengers lol.
I have a new rear sway, my bad in the posting. Thanks for picking that out @ShatteredMJ
So I have '14, PP - want to lower at 28k so instead of leaving in parts with 30k on them, start with replacements parts. So in the rear, replace factory sway for more stable. Monroe Severe duty rear shocks. Now considering some of those Mevotech suspension part replacements, like trailing arms, lateral links and H&R Springs.
In the front - rip and replace with Ford PP struts, full assembly and Ford hardware, replace coils with H&R coils. Then consider some new Mevotech front suspension replacement parts thanks to
@Vestin112
you are going to be in love with how it feels and yea def have the PP slimmer front sway bar it makes your turn in really sharp you basically dive into turns when the car is lowered.
