I have a 2015 Mustang GT. I want to have a car that I can raise and lower the height more for looks than for racing. I don't really like how different spring drops only allow one thing. The plus side to only buying springs is that they offer a more everyday ride, because of more spring travel. I want a set of coil over springs that can do that, or close to that, if possible.
Is it possible?
I put a set on a 2005 Pontiac GTO I owned many years ago but I don't remember the ride. I was younger and maybe didn't mind as much that is was probably stiffer. Now, 25 years later almost, I am ready to try again. There are no tracks I will be using but I do like a good handling car just the same but on regular roads and I like the looks of a lowered car. I am not ready for air ride so it's pretty much finding a coil over package.
I imagine it has been covered here already but I couldn't find it. I can find a big introduction to spring rates and such but so many here may have found a package like I am looking for. I don't imagine that eveyone on this forum races but wants and maybe even found for them, what I am looking for also.
I have 20 in rims from AM. Magnetic Style Gloss Black Machined Wheel; 20x8.5 and Magnetic Style Gloss Black Machined Wheel; Rear Only; 20x10. 275/40 r20 front tires and 295/40 r20 rear. The fronts will have to be narrowed to probably 255's as they do rub some now over bumps. No clearance problems in the rears though. And yes, at almost 90k miles, still stock shocks on the car but have close to stock springs heights, maybe 1/2 in drop.
So..... is it possible to have a decent ride with coil overs or just stick to lowering spring and what ever shocks?
Thanks
