Steeda's New Dual Rate Ultimate Handling Springs - (Track Proven Winner!!!)

Get a digital angle finder from Harbor Freight, it's good to about ±0.1° if you're patient and your driveway is level side to side. Strings and jackstands for toe.

And you're right - you will want to start DIY'ing your own alignments.

Quick update! Drove the car to work today. Love the way the car feels and the more I drive it the better it gets. At my exit doing about 45 mph, the surface was uneven with some ripples the car bounced a bit. I added 1/8 turn for a total settings of 1 1/2 turn in the fronts and 1/2 turn total in the rear. The car felt even better on the drive home. The ride is firm and sporty but nowhere near harsh or crashy . The drop remained 3/4 Up front and 1/2 in the rear which I actually prefer. Here's a quick shot of the car on 18x10, 265/40/18 tires.

Edit: Correction on the front drop, it is actually a 1/2 inch drop. Had a brain fart. lol. So 1/2" drop all around on my Ecoboost.

So gave in and picked up one of these.

Since I have 6 vehicles in the household and 3 need alignments now, I figured it almost paid for itself already.

So, took the car up to Summit Point this weekend and had a blast. The new suspension set up and all the chassis mods (STEEDA) worked as advertised. Very controlled, predictable, and fun handling car. My instructor who drives a new 18 PP GT was very impressed with the amount of grip and how the car handled. And all that was on my street settings. Very impressed and looking forward for the next track day. Oh, and I ended up winning the " most improved driver " of the event and got a $100 gift card. Lol

How is the ride quality with these springs? I like the .75" drop. I have a stock PP suspension now for reference. I would consider the sport progressive but some pics look slammed while others look perfect. Not sure why, and not sure which I'd end up with, lol

The ride quality of the Steeda Dual Rate Springs are great, with the Steeda Pro-Action Adjustable dampers set on soft.
Another, option would be our Steeda Minimum Drop lowering springs.

IMHO Ride quality is ok, considering the significant spring rate increase above stock. If you're very concerned about ride quality, then a spring as stiff as the DR might be too stiff for you.

Like the Steeda guy says, comfort is better with adjustable shocks set to a softer setting. With stiff shocks & the stiff springs and the car follows small bumps in the road pretty closely. Its amazing on track, and a bit stiffer than ideal for your average city road.

I ended up going progressives with non adj. shocks, mounts, camber plates, braces, cradle inserts with bolt sleeves. Thanks for the input, I'll have pix when it's all done.
