Front coilover mounting

[Lowndex]

For my 2004 Mercury Marauder, I purchased the JRi front coilovers with JRide (https://www.jrishocks.com/shop/specialty/jride/). Do you have a recommendation for mounting hardware?

Stock mount:

Obviously, I need an adapter or whole new mount for the JRi front coilovers. I welcome your assistance.

Will the Ridetech coilovers for the Crown Vic work?

Isn’t brg doing all of your work?

Yes, but they want to design a custom mount that will take time and much $$$.

* CAD design
* CnC from 7075 aluminum block (final design anodized)
* rinse and repeat until a final design is obtained

ridetech front coil overs work with their bracket supplied

Hot damn. I have email Chris at ADTR asking if I can buy just the mounts.

Don’t take this the wrong way, have you ever heard them call you a whale?

Yes and no offense taken

It has taken 2.5 years to appreciate the knowledge, experience and hands-on skill of members. I threw money at things there was no gain doing so. If I had to do it all over again, I would, but with money focused on areas that made a real difference. Example, two, new Recaro ES Ergonomic seats in front ($6000) would have been a better use of splurge monies.

I honestly feel for you man.
Sorry they are bathing in your wallet. Only one guy can put a stop to that though.
A guy once gave me a phrase that will stick with me forever:
“Plan your work and work your plan” :2thumbs:

Lmao. That's my line bud :)


The bracket like ridetech is on eBay, found them there when I found out I couldn't afford to build my own front coil overs

I searched eBay and can only find the whole kit. I welcome a link, sir.

There are a bunch of widths and bolt diameter sizes, idk what your size is.

Bolt this to the top of your assy and weld it or bolt it to your hat.

I participated in a sport that involved custom everything and very large volumes of money. The owners enjoyed spending their money on this sport.

So long as they are enjoying it that's what matters.

Money, you can't take it to Heaven or Hell.

I need a mounting scheme that conforms to the needs of the JRi dimensions and specifications below. I am looking at what Ridetech and other aftermarket, performance coilover brands offer.

JRi doesnt supply the yellow bracket or at least half of it and then make the triangle bracket?

FYI those 3 holes are not all in the same place, as in 1 is offset.

Glad I do my own welding and fabrication..

Besides, that is seriously cake. They even give you most of the dimensions!
If someone like me could fab that up in my garage in a couple of hours I don’t see your shop charging all that much.

Unless your wanting billet or something? Some 1/4” plate steel, a couple of hole saws, a few inches of Stainless spacers, and off to powder coat.
