Anyone lower their Mach 1 HP?

Yes, Jamie is very aware of the H/P Mach 1.

Oh wow love the look, looks nicely tucked in. How is the ride?

Thanks. It rides like stock. Handles like Iverson in the mountains and back roads of Mexico.

This is a contradictory statement. How can Steeda be aware of the difference if there is no difference?

It's already been shown there is a .4" difference between HP and non HP (excluding tire difference).

They know that the springs are different. I did not see a .4” drop on my car going from std to HP springs. That’s a fact on my car. I think I’m one of the few that’s had both on the same car. Regardless I’ll post height difference when I install my dual rate springs next month (or possibly late this month). I suspect those seeing no drop on DR’s have bushing bind and didn’t clock bushings. We’ll find out. There should be plenty of data though, dual rates are by far the most popular spring for Mach 1 owners. It seems like half the people in the Mach 1 Facebook groups have them installed.

How would you explain the difference in ride and handling going from stock HP springs to these progressive Sport springs?

I bought my car with the sport springs already on the car. I test drove a non HP car after that and the ride and handling was noticeably different... for the worse. It felt more like a standard GT compared to mine. I've never driven an HP car, so I'm curious to hear the comparison.

There is no noticeable difference in ride but the handling feels more tuned in.

Anyone have the Eibach Pro Kit option on their HP M1?

I’m looking for something a bit more aggressive to close in on the fender gap.

I am the same went from standard springs, to HP springs, to Steeda Sports.
Standard to HP I had a very small change in ride height, maybe 1/8”. From HP to steeda sport springs about 1/4” lower. I want to come up about 1/8” in the front.

Have dual rates in the garage should install those sometime this month.

I am considering the dual rates and the steeda magneride controller. Please share your experience with the dual rates once installed.

Goodness how do you guys do it , I'm on my stock base springs and if I don't leave a driveway sideways I'll scrape the front splitter happened 1 time very slight ,I was barely moving . Yesterday I couldn't go sideways out the gas station cars behind me coming in the driveway, I had to go out straight and scraped not bad but there was nothing I could do I thought at the time . Hindsight I should of sat there til I could of went sideways onto the street .
I have stock Ford HP springs ,but at this point not going to install . I also got a great deal on brand new Ford Camber plates in the box $ 100 .

Running the Steeda Dual Rate springs on this one.

Leave all driveways sideways car & coffee style whenever possible. Actually no, but I did pop rivet on a couple 2”x2” 1/4” think pieces of ABS plastic to be sacrificial wear points on the underbelly shield and splitter.
