Usually I go with a prokit, but never had the weight of an SC up front. So I am curious what you guys are running, how your stance is, and how your traction is with the power of the SC, relative to the suspension setup

For reference, the 2016 GT I am buying has the Roush 727hp kit and the following suspension bits:
Steeda sub frame braces, Steeda vertical links, Steeda k brace

Thought about some budget ISC or BC coilovers?
I've never had coilovers, as I've never saw the need. I don't want to slam the car for starters. My 2012 5.0 has a prokit with Koni dampers and I am very happy with it. Car handles and looks great, and rides relatively nice. No need to fuss with adjustability or anything like that.

Nice DIB S550. That paint looks beautiful in the sun. Stance looks great too.

Are you running wheel spacers? What tires are you running & hows your traction?

You don't need to slam. Handling is better with them than just springs.

Get some N4SM 6GR's with 325 R888's in the rear, your car will love you on the straights and the curves.

With Whipple I first had the Pro kit and personally thought there was too much wheel gap. I then changed to the sportlines and like the look better. I didn't precieve or feel any difference in ride between them.

That's next on the this a set of wheels. Been looking at the velgen vmb6s, but they're so many different kinds I like it's a hard choice. This is actually my daily driver so I'm not all to set traction from a stop right now. I have another race truck for the track.
