Not sure why my car is so much lower than everyone else's but whatever, here's mine. Looks great but with the rubbing it's sat in the garage. Steeda camber plates didn't help, Steeda suspension lift kit didn't help, alignment didn't help. Just going to go back to stock and get rid of these.

That is a bummer. What are your wheel offsets? Have you been able to tell where is rubbing?

Front is +35 rears are +50. Driver front, right where the fender and bumper meet. The whole car is lower than everyone else. I'm beginning to think these are not GT springs but maybe EcoBoost ones.

They both use the same spring rates as far as I know. Steeda just uses two different package numbers so they can track who gets what. Makes sense to me as the only difference between the cars is 100-150 lbs at the nose.

I have an Edelbrock supercharger on my car which I imagine also adds a bunch of weight. But that's good to know about the springs being the same.

I'm very curious as to why none of that helps? That's very strange.

That makes sense, you're still in the soft part of the spring at while the car is static so the weight of the supercharger has more effect on ride height. Guess you'll have to switch out for some minimum drop springs or ditch the Edelbrock. Wonder which way I'd go. :giggle:

What wheel and tire specs you have there? I've got the progressives and I'm wheel shopping, but worried about rubbing if I go 305/35/20 in the rear
I have 285x35x19x10 front and 325x30x19x11.5 rear.

I have a 3.0 whipple and it doesn’t sit like that. You may want to double check the springs you got. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just wanted to send a quick update. Tim and Jamie at Steeda helped me a lot with this. Ultimately I installed the camber plates and some parts of the ride height lift kit as well. Essentially I shimmed the camber plate and to my utter enjoyment, IT WORKED!

I have an alignment scheduled for 5/26 to finally button it all up but it's nice to finally be able to drive my car again! I still have no idea what the root cause of the issue actually is but it's resolved and that's all I care about.
