My 2015 blue SHO was recently hit and insurance totaled the car. Was a sad day to see the damage Knowing the car was unrepairable. Purchased another SHO recently. Low mileage 2013 Green Gem Metallic w/performance package. Very happy with my purchase!!!

Thanks much appreciated!!!

Love the gem green!
If I could find one with under 30k I would buy it!

This car has under 30K miles and was garage kept. I flew across country to purchase it from the original owner who fell ill and needed to sell it. Right time and right place.

It’s close, but gem looks black until it’s in the sun, which is awesome.

Prior to the SHO I owned a ‘13 green gem MKS for a month or so. It was bought back cause they couldn’t figure out why the trunk leaked.

Zpak,
What are you thoughts on coilovers. The rear height of the car is killing me. I would like to lower the rear to the height of the front. Should i cut the rear spring by one inch?

 

[76FoMoCo]

if you want to keep the stock ride you can cut 4.5" off the back springs.

I’m a H&R fan myself. They get the stance just right, and improve the handling a lot. Much more planted and far less body roll. Bumpy? Yes, but they do soften up quite a bit after a couple thousand miles. I’m non PP but put the H&R’s on PP struts and have PP shocks.
I’m told that makes a big difference.

@SM105K originally cut his rear springs prior to H&R install to level it. I don’t remember any complaints.

Congrats on the new SHO!!
Bummer Butts on the prior SHO!! LOVE the blue color. Miss my '13 SHO with same color

The Blue SHO is one of my favorite colors available, the Gem Green is also my top color. The green sho has more options them the blue one. Just found out my driver seat has the message feature and also has Parallel parking assist.
