Cobra Suspension rear set of 40mm lowering coil springs from
PSR-Parts, Netherlands. These are listed as going to be delivered later today. Once we have these in stock, we'll then travel to our local Ford Performance dealership and pick up a new set of factory front coil springs. Then once we have both sets in hand, we'll travel over to our powder coaters to have them powder coat the new factory fronts the same color as the new Cobra rears.

However, because Cobra Suspension is not completely sure these will fit on the van. Yet Jeffery via Cobra Suspension did admit that if these do not fit, Cobra will manufacture lowering springs just for the American market. Seeing how there's uncertainty, we may opt to installed the rear coils first then hope the powder coater can access the coils from under the van in order to get an actuate color match.
Once the rear of the van has been lowered, we'll move on to locating the 28mm sway bar. We gotten leads on another Ford car that utilized the same engine cradle as the Connect. The 2019 KUGA (AKA Escape) uses the same engine cradle as the Connect. The only noticeable difference is the forward bushings located at the top of each of the two main upright supports.

We've also located a lone manufacture in Taiwan who designed a 28mm sway bar that fits several different for vehicles. But has not admitted their sway bar could fit the Connect. We aim to find out and very soon.
