Which springs did you end up with?

I went with the Steeda Minimal Drop springs. I'm happy with the drop, I wouldn't have wanted to go any lower than this.

It looks good. I'm probably going to get the Ford Performance X springs unless someone can talk me out of them. They're a 1" drop. The BMR and Steeda min drops are .5" right?

I would say it depends, I have the jacking rails and the roads where I live are not always awesome, so I didn't want to be scrapping on everything. If I had stayed with the stock profile tires, I wouldn't have dropped the car at all.

A clunk over bumps, I checked the front end away bar links, and it's tight, everything looked good and seemed tight, wondering if the spring isn't seated right.

Check all of your bushings. A loose bushing bolt can cause noise. Does it pop when turning?

I'm in lovely flat Florida. I do plan on adding jacking rails but I don't see it being a problem for me. Yours still looks great though.

Thanks, Ultimately I'm happy with how it turned out. I'll be much happier once I find the source of my noise. I'm wondering if it maybe the end link needs to be replaced. I may disassemble the strut on that side to double check the alignment of the spring. I"ll update once I find it.

There are a lot of great minds on the forum. If you can upload a video of the sound more eyes and ears might can save you some time and aggravation.

I would check the top strut mount nut. Because it requires removal when changing springs, sometimes it doesn't get tightened properly during reassembly and will create a clunk noise when hitting bumps, dips etc.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will take a video tomorrow, it's supposed to be nice out.

Issue has been fixed, I'm thinking it was the strut but, I checked everything over and couldn't find an obvious source of the sound, so I disassembled the strut, made sure the alignment of the spring was good and reassembled, now the noise is gone.

Really digging these wheels so far.

I purchased a set of the SVE R350 Wheels Squared in 19x10 and added Firehawk 285/35/19 tires for it. After getting everything mounted and balanced, I've found that I'm disappointed with the way they look on the car. The wheels and color look great, IMO, but they stick out kind of far in the front and rear and just look weird. I've looked through the other threads with these wheels and they seem like they fit/look better, any suggestions?

Car is all stock PP1 suspension with Steeda Braces/Stop the Hop kit.

P.S. Don't mind the dust, It just came out of storage and needs a bath and yes, the hood is popped in the photos.

They look great.

I've since joined the lowered and SVE R350 club as well.
