There's a set on the marketplace.Fair enough. I'm sure the dual rates work just fine but with no experience with either prior to purchasing, I followed the math

I'm with you on that point Norm just wanted to point out the other option which is to pair the springs with something that you already have. I guess it will be better than PP1 springs but who knows.If the PP1 dampers were fully up to the task of controlling the PP1 springs I might agree . . . at least as a stop-gap measure.
Steeda lists all of the following ahead of any mention of performance benefits - you need to read that like you would the order of ingredients in prepackaged foods.
They're aimed mostly at the street crowd that does at most moderately paced canyon drives (as opposed to the more serious canyon running).
- Lowers your S550 Mustang 0.5" on all 4 corners
- Great ride quality, improved aerodynamics, and improved vehicle stance
Yes, I know you can let yourself get caught on the slippery slope here. But FR dampers + Min Drops isn't even close to the edge. If you have the choice between slightly overdoing the dampers relative to the springs or slightly overdoing the springs relative to the dampers, do the first. At least with stock/stock as your reference points.

the DR springs work with Steeda pro-Action adjustables, barely.Fair enough. I'm sure the dual rates work just fine but with no experience with either prior to purchasing, I followed the math
If you install new studs and use slip through spacers then there is no need to use 1 inch, which are actually a bit too wide for good measure and also look silly. The only reason people use them (studded 1 inch spacers that is) is that you require at least 1 inch to clear the factory studs.right, you're talking bolt-on spacers. "We" don't consider that an acceptable solution, only slip-on. OP will want to hit up OP Mustang for a set and extended studs. Or just buy the FP front wheel hubs with the studs already installed.
I like mine.So is everybody on board with BMR's new CB762 kit?
add CB010. It puts hair on your chest.Is it a standalone kit or do I NEED the bushing kit also?
it was supposed to be rigid from the get-go except some pussy in marketing decided that a Mustang should be as quiet as a Camry. So now you have the rear half of the car deflecting every which way.So your not concerned at all about something that was designed to flex, is now rigid?
If you want rotatable 305 tires in the front, 1" is what you need. It'll look the same as a PP2If you install new studs and use slip through spacers then there is no need to use 1 inch, which are actually a bit too wide for good measure and also look silly.

EW, I'm about to go from the factory PP1 wheels of 9/9.5 to the Ford Performance 9.5/10 set up. Would you recommend I stay with the factory P255F/P275R/40R19 or would there be a more appropriate wider size to fill this new wheels? Weekend/daily fun car. Not track. I enjoyed the PP2 set up but the 10.5/11 with 305s was a little much on the daily. Maybe 305s on these narrower wheels?Your car and your money but I would strongly urge wider and square wheels and tires. If you want an S550 to handle correctly, the only option is square tires.
If it makes you feel any better, I cut holes in my brand new car. At least wheels and tires are reversible.
then use whatever you want. your current 255/275 will fit just fine on 9.5/10.Weekend/daily fun car. Not track.
god no.Maybe 305s on these narrower wheels?
Maybe a 275/35 and 285/35, or 275/35 or 40 square.EW, I'm about to go from the factory PP1 wheels of 9/9.5 to the Ford Performance 9.5/10 set up.
