Hi guys, I am looking to upgrade my suspension and want a strut spring combo vs coils for various reasons.

I wanted the mountune clubsport suspension package but even after emailing them they are unwilling to work with me as a Canadian buyer and I wont pay 960USD + 300USD shipping + an insane brokerage fee when they arrive in Canada when I can buy B14 Bilstein coils for 1250 shipped CAD from stratified of CJpony parts.

I was wondering if anyone knows any other dealer that supplies the Clubsport Suspension package OR another strut spring combo?

Thanks guys!

I believe any vendor that sell Mountune parts can get those for you.

They use Bilstein and a rebranded prokit. Go to tire rack and buy them. Your still looking at $900. They do give you the strut mount so you dont have to mess with compressing the spring. It's actually a good deal but $300 to ship is crazy

I know eibach makes the Mountune springs. However I thought the spring rates were slightly different.

AFAIK Mountune is the ONLY current distributor for the Clubsport kit.

You could get a set of Bilstein B8's and a set of Mountune springs (2013, not the 2014-2017) and you'd have the same components as the Clubsport kit. Several vendors that sell both items, and I'm sure at least one of them can ship to Canada without ridiculous shipping rates. You'd have to assemble them yourself though, either with the stock tophats or OEM replacements. You'd also need to purchase the one-time use bolts that are normally supplied with the Clubsport kit, there is a stickied thread here with the relevant part numbers.

Alternatively, you could go with Bilstein B8's and a higher end spring like the Swift Spec R if you don't mind spending a little more. This would probably be one of the best non-adjustable setups available performance-wise, but you're looking at >$1000 USD at that point.

Mountune's front spring are straight wound not progressive like the pro-kit. I don't think anyone else straight wound.

You mean linear? Most springs and I do believe Mountune's are progressive. Swift are the only linear drop springs for the ST.

What are some of your various reasons?

Take that all back, went and looked again at photos of both. They are both progressive and look pretty much the same.

Ordered the Mountune Clubsport kit 3/24/17 and tomorrow will mark 3 weeks since [ordered & paid] and nothing. I'm really disappointed that when ordered I received zero notifications [aside from order confirm] that it was backordered with no ETA. Called after 2 weeks and told they're waiting for 1 shock. Asked when and told the delay was at the supplier end. I wondered [aloud] why it's still listed on their website if they don't have the complete kit. Not the way I'd do it...

Went with the swift/b8 combo and you can definitely do this for the same price as the mountune kit with all new parts. Those bolts are a $1.5 from Ford.
