Ford Performance GT350 Lowering Springs Group Buy

[Hack]

To have increased flex rate.. The FP spring coils at the top are almost collapsed jacked up in my pic so they are compressed when the car is on the ground. The rest of the coils are the actions coils so if you hit a large dip or bump the compressed ones are there to push the wheel down to make sure it stays in contact with the road. The stock springs have just an extra coil at the bottom because of the deep pocket of the control arm. Effectively they are doing the same thing and making sure the spring doesn't fall out at full extension of the suspension. The stock is doing in a way that the car rides better by the way the coils are packed. And the FP are doing it in a way to provide traction rather than comfort. Both are ride control but for different reasons.

[MENTION=12069]Hack[/MENTION] The design looks similar to a progressive spring however ford advertised this as a linear spring. So think more of an offroad to spring keep the wheel down (dual action spring) rather than a progressive spring which is variable rate. The coils are the same size just tightly packed so they are the same rate. They are packed and compressed at ride height and during normal driving so they have no effective rate until they are decompressed.

If the tight coils are completely compressed and bottomed out on each other when the springs are in the car and the suspension is at full droop, then the rate would be linear. Also, if the tight coils are never completely bottomed out on each other when the springs are in the car, the rate would also be linear (but a combination of the rates produced by the two different areas of the spring). I would expect the latter case is more likely.

If the tight coils bottomed out onto each other somewhere during the wheel travel, then the spring rate would be progressive.

I'm out of the country, will I get a message through the forum?

Ok gents. We have another 37 sets ready to go. This should get us down to #63 on the list, as some have either backed out or not responded to PM's. I will send messages all the way down to #70 as a buffer, but will have to cut it off at that point. The next batch doesn't have an eta and I do not want to keep people waiting. All those down to #70 keep an eye on your PM box.

PayPal has been the preferred method of payment. Mike having to play phone tag with people or individuals having busy work schedules in different time zones makes tings difficult considering Mike has other primary duties besides this group buy. I do not want to over burden him. If you have a PayPal account please respond to my PM with it so we can make this much smoother and faster.

Thanks!

That looks so sexy. Did you install camber plates, arms or those alignment bolts and does it need aligning? Thanks in advance
