Hey Mr.V.

I have a 2014 and my warranty is also is also important to me. For this reason I try to stick with FRPP. There is a FRPP short throw shifter & a 2 post shifter bracket which installed by the dealer will maintain your 3.36 warranty. Have you considered that option?

I went to wonderies first. They told me that my suspension mods would void my warranty on my my suspension, I would expect that, and also my breaks, engine mounts, and any loose trim. Needless to say, I haven't gone back. I've been going to Super Ford in Industry. I might be going somewhere else. My last repairs were a huge hassle. They damaged my interior during some repairs and took 5 trips to repair my loose grill. It took 2 1/2 months to fix some minor things that they took multiple attempts to repair.

I considered frpp but the warranty on the parts themselves is also 3/36. I went with steeda for their lifetime warranty on their parts. I went with the steeda shift bracket myself. I am very happy with it.

I went to Cerritos and told them I installed frpp springs and that my alignment was off. They said since it was a ford part, alignment would be free. Score!

Go to Sergio at Cerritos ford. He is the service manager and a car enthusiast just like us. I have lowering springs(eibach sportline) and have brought my car in twice for suspension issues. Instead of saying that the problems comes from my springs, I have received new front shocks and control arms without a problem.
I bring my car there for every oil change and am always taken care of. Tell him Kevin sent you and he will take good care of you!

Did you need anything more than camber bolts for the new springs?

I got my springs from hypermotive for a little of $200. I got camber bolts for prob $20 and everything aligned perfectly. You can get the plates but it is really not needed. I got my alignment done in OC and it ran me $75.

I think it was $75 which is actually a good price. Bad part was it took about 4 hours cause they were busy.

It is. I had the lifetime alignment done at firestone for 200. I plan on keeping this car forever or maybe longer. If you plan on keeping your car for awhile, I think it's a good option.

I just noticed the first page of this thread is a year old. In any case I can't believe no one mentioned the world's largest Ford dealer, Galpin. They've got their own Autosports Division.

Looks like I'm in the market for a new dealership in socal to service my car. The service manager at the dealer I was going to left. The service I received my last visit was horrible. I had to argue about everything just to get it looked at. Anyone know a dealer that's mod friendly in the Inland Empire especially? I'll drive if I have to.

I've had luck with Cerritos. They aligned my car for gratis when I dropped it. Told them it was ford springs. No issues.
