Onyx,

Shoot me your contact info - our tech has done some testing with the Steeda springs & the GT350R as I believe we recently installed them at our shop.

I can help get you the answers you are looking for!

Hey do you guys change the jounce bumpers when you do the lowering springs? I am about to do the FP springs. Also I see the handling package with sway bars includes new bumpers, so not sure what to do?

The handling package is for the regular mustangs. You do not change your bump stops. The front have internal stops and the rear have external.

That's is just a generic picture. For the Shelby it does not include bump stops. Check out lmr for the right picture. P/N: M-5700-N

Eibach springs. Work great.
On the track and a full compression load, do you rub? I read that the front is 201 lb/in vs 250 on fpps, does the front feel too soft?

Since Eibachs are the lower than rest of the bunch, how are they for daily driving? My concern is rub while turning since the spring appears bit softer.

I am interested in the Steeda springs for my GT350R, just no reviews if they are better than the R springs. I had the FP springs on my GT350 and loved them. The Steeda springs are stiffer than the R springs. Anybody rocking the Steeda’s? I Want to do sways and springs and am leaning toward Steeda or BMR? I mainly use the car for HPDEs and street.
Same here. Looking for springs for my 17 R as well. Drop on these is 2mm more than FP, which IMO is more than welcomed. Curious what the rate is for these.

No rubbing at all. I have 305-30x19 SC2’s all around.
They feel stiffer than stock, but not jarring. I can’t compare to others as I have only driven stock and Eibachs.
The combo of lowering springs and the shorter tires does mean you will scrap the front more. The shorter tires alone lower the car about 1/2”. Just be careful.

Here's mine on FP springs and OEM MPSS 295/35/19 & 305/35/19 tires

Here it is on 305/30/19 Sport Cup 2 tires all around

Do you happen to know the distance from the ground to the bottom of the splitter in front of the tires with FP springs with the OEM MPSS and the 305/30/19? I'd like to install the FP springs but I have to use 3" tall race ramps in order to get the car on my 2-post lift. Don't feel like having to use additional puzzle pieces to get the car on the lift.
Thank you!

Could someone with FP springs on GT350 with OE tires please measure the distance from the ground to underside of the splitter? Also someone with 305/30-19 tires? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

Mine measures right at 4”. The set up on 305’s should be between 1/4” and 1/2” lower.
