Magnuson-Moss on used cars? I think it was the ford dealership, but I don't know, does it have a warranty I don't know that either. It's all about money and some places are not as honest or forthright, or they would have pointed out the coilovers in the first place. because they did inspect the car. I wish Joe the best and I hope his car is all he wants it to be. I wish my car came with coil overs too.

Yes, because with Ford the warranty follows the car, even used, unlimited # of owners unlike the Hyundai/Kia 10/100k drops to 5/60k on second owner and no warranty on 3rd owner+.. so they wouldn't get a warranty on the coilovers, obviously, but anything else stock is covered provided it isn't tuned... so yeah, good for him, since he was buying his first FiST, he didn't realize it was lowered immediately upon seeing it like the rest of us would notice, but definitely a bonus. 
On thing that is overlooked the most and I think is just as important as RMM is the passenger side engine mount insert... The street version is yellow so I swear that little slice of pineapple helped more than the RMM or traction bar. You can get it and the highly recommended bolt upgrade from Whoosh and is pretty easy to install.

I’ve since ordered and received a set of spanners, as obviously they didn’t come with the car. $25. I’m now going to check the preload on the rears, as I don’t think they were properly set up. Then I can adjust my ride height, if I decide to. Lots of experimentation with ride settings, etc., now on the horizon.
Installed the Euro lights Friday, I now have to modify the wiring harness to fun the DRLs.
True. Those pedestrians that aren’t astute enough to momentarily look away.
I prefer the European pattern. Illuminates signage effectively. In fact, we were behind the Europeans until the mid eighties.
In 1983, the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 was amended to allow composite headlight assemblies to include replacement bulbs, a nonstandard shape, and aerodynamic lenses. Before that, we were mandated to have single 7” and dual 5-3/4” which were clearly inferior to what the foreign manufacturers were producing.
I wonder how many blind pedestrians there are in Europe?

Good point, our standards for what is legal is quite dated... Not to go off subject too far, but I suppose it's related to things a new FiST owner might want to know... but with our reflectors, they DO at least have an anti-glare cap built in too so that's why many of the newest properly designed LED's can work well, a tiny bit of glare above the cutoff will help light up signs up ahead nicely at the cooler color temp of LED.
