Struts and springs for 09 CVPI?
My 09 CVPI is currently sitting at 165k miles and could use some suspension work. It seems like genuine Motorcraft strut assemblies and rear springs, as well as aftermarket PI spec rear springs are practically unavailable now. So I'm considering going with civilian spec parts.
Looking at dropping a little extra coin on KYB SR4140 front struts as Monroe, FCS, Gabriel, etc seem to have nosedived in quality. And I'm looking for rear springs to match. I see a lot of people running Moog CC865 variable rate rear coils, but I'm wanting that firm, planted ride I'm used to, and I run 200ish pounds of sand or gravel in the trunk in the winter. It looks like the constant rate Moogs are part number 81479.
Anyone able to tell me if this will be a good match for ride height and firmness? Any other suggestions, or places to look for quality PI spec parts?
Much appreciated!
