More detailed write up below, but these are key things.
- Running staggered front PS4S 305/30/20 and rear AS DWS06 315/35/20 (sits 0.75” higher in rear over stock) Largest possible tire setup for my car btw.
- Stock springs with perfect rear fit but want to lower front by about an inch upfront, will this cause any challenges due to the difference in front and rear ride height, if so how can I make it work?
- The ENTIRE suspension was literally just rebuilt except for the springs, keeping comfort in mind I went with OEM parts and Steeda Active setup. So it should all be sitting and fitting like new. Left springs OEM for maximal comfort and to then gauge from there if I should swap them.
- What springs should I use in the front? Steeda, BMR, Eibach? I already installed new front and rear Eibach bump stops btw.
Hey, I have a 2018 Mustang convertible, I was running squared summer tires, Michelin PS4S 305/30/20 all around. After the front tires wore out (alignment issue that was fixed now) I moved my back tires to the front and installed a new set of All Season Continental DWS06 Plus in a size of 315/35/20 in the rear. This was for mainly ride comfort improvement which it was a huge improvement over the PS4S, but also for the look and fitment.
Currently the rear sits perfectly and I have no desire to lower it, the 315/35/20 tire is 1.5” taller in diameter than the 305/30/20 so it’s sitting 0.75” higher up in the rear I’d assume. But up front the wheel gap is a little much, I’ve been eyeing about a 1” drop to improve the look without compromising comfort.
With the difference in front to rear ride height will there be any issues and how can I fix them so that I can just lower the front. I was looking at the Steeda Progresssive springs but they’re only sold as a full set and was told by an installer that just doing the fronts would handle bad and be uncomfortable. I’d like to keep the ride quality and the Steeda spring rate of 145-225 seemed like the softest option with capable handling still. Unless there’s a better route I should go?
