J&M vs Steeda minimal drop springs?

[Xzavior1818]

What he said.

The Steeda min drop springs are just perfect. Slightly lower stance, perfectly balanced spring rates, and still comfortable enough on the street for daily use. I paired these with the Ford Performance track dampers and I couldn't be happier. The factory dampers are not so good when you change to lowering springs.

I know this is old but did you run camber plates with this setup? I'm thinking about this same setup for my 300a GT. It drives okay but I am on 20's so I don't want it to be so harsh I bend a rim also

Nope. Camber plates not really needed with a 1/2" drop. Going beyond that, I would recommend camber plates.

Cool that's kind of what I was thinking as well. How's the rides harshness from 1-10?

I've been running Steeda Min drop springs/Steeda struts for almost 4yrs w/o any issues. Ride is firm but not harsh Great quality and customer service from @tj@steeda .

I would say 2 to 3 assuming 1 is the orignal suspension feel of the factory parts. I think road surface feedback is important in a suspension setup. It definitely provides that coupled with the FP track dampers. The spring rates are just a little higher than stock. So if you are pairing these springs with the orignal factory dampers, I would rate it a 2.

Reason I want to go with the Ford performance ones is price. This plus the springs and I'm looking around over 1k$

That is also a great choice.

This is the same kit I just installed with the Steeda minimal drop springs. I've been having an issue with a slight clunk/click/pop in the front end when turning the wheel at slow speeds (like in the driveway) and over speed bumps. Everything has been torqued to spec (including end links and sway bar mounts) multiple times. I even swapped out the upper strut mounts for my old ones that weren't making noise. I can't find the source of the noise and it's driving me crazy

Comments about 800~ lbin rears being too stiff, always crack me up. With a motion ratio of .49X......yeah right.

660-740 vs 800 is a hardly noticeable increase in rate at the wheel.

That's not real life, that's just a result of reading too many forum posts. Like the folks who swear a front undercarriage brace improves handling and fixes tramlining on the street... Stop.
