SUSPENSION MODS
Suspension upgrades and modifications are popular items with most automobile enthusiasts. We feel it is unacceptable to throw comfort out of the window for "pure" handling, unless your vehicle spends its highway miles on a trailer going to and from competition events. With this in mind, and a wealth of personal knowledge and experience, we offer a variety of suspension components as well as complete suspension kits. Now be advised that anytime you lower a vehicle with "semi-trailing arm rear suspension" (i.e. XR4Ti and Scorpio), the rear suspension will go out of alignment (both camber and toe). These are "nonadjustable" from the factory. The result of lowering these vehicles would normally be less than optimum handling, and a severe reduction in rear tire mileage (as much as 70%). In every lowering kit we supply, Rapido provides the necessary components and installation instructions to realign the rear suspension. This is a Rapido exclusive and part of the Rapido lowering kit. Here are a couple of things for you to consider as you contemplate up- grading the handling of your favorite vehicle.- 1. Do I want to lower the vehicle - can I afford to reduce ground clearance?
- 2. Will I retain stock wheels and tires?

You can make major improvements with one of our "Do It Yourself" headlight refinishing kits (P/N 10-0107) OR we now offer REFINISHED HEADLIGHTS "EXCHANGE". You will be absolutely amazed at the difference you experience in night-driving visibility. Most drivers report having "twice a much light or more" after installing a set of our "refinished" headlights, even with STANDARD bulbs.
NOTE: If your reflectors are in poor condition (generally from water damage or "exploding" bulbs) our refinishing will not improve the condition of the reflector.
Take it a step further and replace the stock bulbs with a pair of our "SilverStar" bulbs and the difference is "Supercalifragilistic". These bulbs (P/N 06-9004C) are stock wattage so they will not "FRY" your headlight switch or "TOAST" the bulb holders, but they do deliver a much "WHITER LIGHT". SEEING IS BELIEVING, and you will believe!!



Order Product #: E7RY8200A/RAP

NOTE: The Rapido Cosworth grill panel is provided with an aluminum grill opening insert. By popular demand we implemented this as a cosmetic improvement. It is intended to be installed after the grill is painted.

ORDERING
Order By Phone | (541) 544-3333 |
It's direct and efficient. Use the Ford or Rapido part numbers and product description; supply your credit card number and expiration date, and the address where your Visa/MasterCard/Discover statements are mailed to you.
At this point in time we are not offering on-line ordering. We want to be able to discuss your parts needs with you, one-on-one. From our experience we know we have the best chance to get you the part you really need on the first attempt, thereby avoiding costly time delays, and additional out of pocket expenses for you. If we can understand your problem, or need, rather than just what you may have been told you need by some third party. We have found that even though a problem may have been accurately identified, the name of the part to be replaced may have been misquoted or misunderstood. Since electrical parts are generally not returnable under any circumstances and all other parts are subject to a 20% restocking charge we think you will agree that our offer of this one-on-one clairification is worth the additional time and phone expense you will incur. If you disagree, or are confidant that you know exactly what you want, simply fax your order to us and it will be processed immediately.
We can also accept orders by mail, but you will need a freight quote
first. Then include with your order the proper payment amount (money order,
please), complete delivery address information,and a phone number where
you may be reached during the day, should we need to clarify any issue.
Want to Fax us your order? | (541) 544-3100 |
If yes, please fill out the order form and fax it to us. Our fax operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Be sure to include your vehicle year, model, and if auto or manual transmission, along with part number(s) and a description of the part(s) you are ordering. Also if faxing, include your current Visa/MasterCard/Discover number with expiration date along with your name as it appears on the card. Again we need phone numbers and proper delivery address with zipcode.
NOTE: We are not currently staffed or equipped to deal with requests for email responses to your fax communications. If you fax an order, request for price quote, or a request for information, we will respond by return fax. Please include your return fax number with any fax communication.
