How low is too low?

[ahl395]

The jacking rails don’t touch any part of the suspension, tires or wheels. This is bad information. You must have wheels and tires that aren’t in the offset that work

Racking rails hang lower than the car though and will make you more likely to scrape...

Not if you get the right ones...

Mine scrape over 1 particularly tall speed bump where I live. It sucks.

I just switched from Steeda Progressives to Steeda Dual Rate. I think the Progressives had really good street manners **disclaimer installed ford racing dampers and steeda swaybars at the same time**. I felt ok on the track with them also. Huge stepup over the stock springs, and the drop is killer for looks/stance. No wheel rubbing with a set of 10's on 285 squared. However, i did experience issues with bumpsteer, and had to be very careful over speed bumps and some entrances ( parking lots, driveways etc.) which became increasingly frustrating for driving in "my area" (also added weight of centri blower setup in the front). I ran them with Ford racing dampers before switching to steeda proaction adjustable.

The springs were just swapped and I didnt install the bumpsteer kit. I want to see if I still need it. The car now sits about 1/2 higher in the front and .25 in the back. I will give it time to settle, and take for a few rides if weather breaks. Reasons for switching is raising a little bit, but mainly for plans to track the car much more this summer which is supposed to be the strength of the Dual Rate.

Hope my experiences help. Trying to share both pros and cons to my past Progressive setup and situation. Yours is slightly different.

Nice!!! Have any pics of the stance? Probably going to go with the steeda non adjustables, bump steer kit, and a set of their springs. Just not 100% on which ones yet. Thanks for the info

When I get home, i will try and get you a couple of shots, one being a bigger shot of my signature picture.

I don't have personal experience with the Steeda Linear, but some swear by it over the progressive. Progressive felt good to me. If you decide on the linear, look into getting the spacers for the illusion of reverse rake. There are a few nice threads hear on progressive versus Linear, and the optical illusion of reverse rake with steeda linear. I never had a chance to try out the linear

I rub the jacking rails on very high speed bumps. There are only two around here that I have to go at an angle when driving over them.
