Minimum lowering options for a non-PP ecoboost?

[ForYourOwnGood]

I'm looking at lowering my car just a little bit, I have several driveways where I already scrape so I don't want anything dramatic.

The only option I see for "minimum" drop is the BMR springs. is there anything else out there? Not that I don't trust BMR, I used their products on my F-bodies for years just wondering if there is something I didn't come across yet.

Also interested in what shocks might go well with a minimum lowering spring, not wanting to invest in anything super high end but the stock non-PP setup is extremely bouncy and floaty while at the same time managing to be extremely harsh over bumps, its got the worst of both worlds.

Here is a quick picture of the car for reference. I don't really even want 1" drop but most kits seem to go 1.2"+.

I went with the GT350r springs, they should be a half inch drop or so. I'm having them put on next week along with Koni shocks and a BMR lockout. They're just about the only other minimum drop option that I know of other than the BMR springs. I have a set of BMR minimum drop springs I was planning to use but I was afraid the Koni's might be a bit too much for them.

How about the ford handling pack-track. I believe its a 1 inch drop

I didn't realize this was an option for Ecos as well, I'll check it out.

Yeah I had looked at those, 1" is about the extreme end of where I can go but I'll keep it in mind.

Yeah this was my initial choice since there isn't much around otherwise. What shocks would compliment those springs well?

Depending on how stiff you'd want to car to be, there are a few min drop options:

1)GTPP like stiffness (very road friendly), BMR SP082/89 with PP dampers
2)GT350 like stiffness (part-time track/road), GT350 or GT350R springs on all 4's, or BMR SP085 or 088 on rear, with Steeda, Koni (fixed or adj on both cases) or FRPP track dampers, and
3)Pure racecar stuff, Steeda dual rate with Koni/Steeda adjustables.

The GT PP shocks would actually work really well.

[MENTION=26233]Rebellion[/MENTION] - for 3), you can also add our SP083 Kit which is 300/980.

I'm very happy with the Ford Performance Springs, Shocks and Struts on my EcoBoost. The 1" drop looks good and is practical for me. Another half inch lower would look better but driving on Michigan roads too low is a bad idea (lesson learned on previous car).

Most importantly though they handle great!

You can also raise the ride height on the SO089 front springs by 1/2" for a total of 3/8" drop with Steeda's new front spacer kit. Although with an ecoboost PP car it will probably be less drop than that because of the lower engine weitht. For the rear with the SP082 springs you can use Steeda's 1/4" spring spacers which will raise the rear by 1/2" to get you back to OEM ride height. This is what I plan to do on My GT non-PP car. I have the BMR springs now and the front and rear Steeda spacers are on the FedEx truck now. I plan to get the springs installed in two weeks so after the install I will write a review in this thread. Also I have Steeda Adjustable Pro-Action Shocks & Struts on my car now. I have had the Pro-Action Shocks & Struts on my car for about 2,000 miles and really like them far better than the OEM shocks & struts. I recommend getting the Adjustable Pro-Actions over the non-adjustable Pro-Actions because it takes very little rebound adjustment for springs with these spring rates. For the GT OEM springs I have them adjusted at 3/16 turn from full soft front & rear. I expect that with the BMR springs to have them adjusted in this same adjustment range.

I, too, am looking for some springs for my EB S550. I considered yours but the product pages for these state they're not designed for the EB. I'm concerned the lower weight of the 4cyl will cause the springs to not compress and the car will end up with the nose in the air. Thoughts?

I would not have recommended them if that were the case.

Our current spring offerings all work very very well on the EB models. ;)

You might want to update your website, then.

***NOTE: This product was not engineered for a V-6 or 4-Cylinder EB Mustang, nor has it been tested on them.***

The SP089s were updated and we removed that note. But I am having our web site guy change that on our various other spring offerings.
