I have a base gt and the suspension feels terrible. When I accelerate the front end of the car always lifts and all of the weight goes to the back end of the car.

After looking at the thread as far as stance I really like the sp080 springs. I also read that the sp082 and sp089 are a great combo. Which set would give me better handling and help my front end lift problem? I just use the car as a dd and some spirited driving. I have not tracked but might get into it. Any advice?
Yep grab those springs and some better dampers and you'll be much happier. Even GT PP dampers are a big improvement.

I didn't know 800 hp was a requirement for wide tires. And no, I'm completely stock but thanks for your input.

It'll handle like crap with that stagger. Not trying to be antagonistic. If you aren't concerned about that, I get it. Be forewarned: that wide of tire is extremely prone to hydroplaning, particularly if you go with an NT05R or similar. Jeff Ashton had the same setup on his old Whipple'd GT and put it in a barrier without even trying to deploy the power. A 315 rear would be a good option for that wheel.

Thanks. I'll actually look into these when I get a chance. I'm looking at MPSS in 345. I'll see what my options in the 315 size are.

My precious car I drove around in 305 -555Rs. It would get a little squiggly during rainstorms but I would just drive my truck if I knew ahead of time.

Ordering the 89/82 springs and Steeda shock mounts tomorrow. Was also going to get some PP shocks/struts. Any bolts/nuts I should get at the same time? Any reason to do the Ford Performance jounce bumpers or just cut my base ones?

Can't go wrong! The bottom pic is mine and a friends. I have a BMR kit and my friend has a Steeda set for comparo.
What spring setup are you running?

Edit: Saw it in your build thread. SP080. Your car's stance looks bad ass.

SP080s ordered. I think 2morrow’s pictures isn’t what finally made me decide. Pairing that with Steeda non Adj shocks/struts and their billet mounts.

Kelly, I'm sure this has been asked before but are there any plans to revise a rear performance spring with a 1" drop?
