ANOTHER Steeda Spring Review

[S550BackInBlack]

No, but I have had cars much lower than this so I am used to driving accordingly. It is a solid inch lower all around but even so, there is still plenty of clearance for any place I would ever drive it. But again, its not my daily so I am not super concerned.

I feel Steeda made a best of both worlds spring. Comfortable ride and excellent handling with clean looks.

Hey guys, first time poster here... I just got done installing my Steeda sport springs on my s550 and I LOVE THEM! They ride EXACTLY the way my PP springs rode and handle SIGNIFICANTLY better! There is NO ride sacrifice that I can feel but the improvement in handling is fantastic! This is the first time I have used Steeda springs and I am VERY satisfied! On to the pics...

If anyone is on the fence about these springs, I hope these pics will help you pull the trigger. It took about 3 hrs to do the instal by my self. This was the easiest spring swap on a mustang I have done. I have a 65' and an sn95 as well. :cheers:

Car looks great, glad you're enjoying the springs! Black ftw

I didn't see in the thread but did you jack the car up and use jackstands or did you use a lift? I know you said you did them yourself but I know people with lifts in there garage so just would like clarification. I have the springs sitting on my porch just kinda waiting to put them on. Also want to solve my trans issue before I start moding stuff.

I was on sportlines on my last Mustang.

I was slammed. Though it looked nice, it was challenging at times to get in and out.

I may go for a low but more functional this time around.

It looks real nice.

Thanks for the complements guys. In regards to the way I lifted the car, I used a jack and 2 jack stands. If you look under your cars, you will see an arrow molded into the under side of the side skirts just in front of the rear wheels. That is the jack point. What I did was jack the car from the rear lower control arms at the spring pocket, and placed the jack stands at the arrow points in front of the wheels. I used a folded microfiber towel to keep from scratching the under body on the jack and the stands. My jack stand perches are rectangle so I placed them parallel with the length of the car and they fit there perfectly when placed just inboard of the body seam/weld. You will know what I mean by all this when you look at yours. And for the front, I jacked at the point where the aft portion of the K Member bolts to the body. Hope this helps!

Very nice job! Now just get spacers to pull the wheel out little more

Thanks! It's funny you say that though because I actually am using a 7/32 wheel spacer on the rear in those pics. I have a set for the front but haven't put them on yet. I might do so today and see how it looks.

I thought the rear may have but hard to tell with black. The front I def would. These wheel have such high offsets stock

I agree. I will put them on today and post a pic. Black is the worst color to display wheel stance!

Did you use the old dust boots and bump stops? I see the eibachs come with new ones but the steeda ones I got did not. Assuming steeda sitwes not come with new ones.

Yes I did and as Steeda says, you don't need shorter ones. I have hit some pretty good size bumps since lowered and no bottoming out what so ever.

 

[SilverSpoon09]

Awesome, thanks for the info. Plan on doing them soon.
