Lowering PP2 (magnaride) which Ford kit(s)?

[TeeLew]

Hello, this is my experience. I placed these Ford Performance M 5300 W springs in my Mustang Mach1 2022 (magneride) and the stance is very aggressive and despite not having friction or problems, I see a greater drop in the front compared to the rear...
I've contacted CJ pony parts because the reference numbers you see in the photos are different, I don't know if they're right....I'm confused! I'm afraid that I made a mistake and broke something! Help

First question is whether you've reset the suspension by loosening the bushings and allowing them to find their happy place?

yes they installed me at the dealer, they told me that they did not have to compress the springs to install them in the shock absorbers and place.
I don't know if the ones at the back are correct with those at the front or some are from the street, those at the back and those at the front Drag, more aggressive

So here are the two springs sets that you could have gotten.

I'm assuming by 'aggressive', you mean the car has more of a nose-down/tail up attitude than stock? Essentially every alternative spring package does this. It's super annoying, but everyone seems to think they need a ton of rake in the car.

I can’t say that I’ve noticed a big rake issue with the 5300-W springs mounted on the 350. I’d guess there are enough differences between that and a PP car to make that difference?! (And trust me, I’ve shopped springs to the point it’s become a mental health issue, LOL)

I'm assuming you meant "rake?" Of the basic tuning parameters on the car, it's one of the most powerful. Almost all of the prepared spring packages raise the rear rate more than the front and they drop the front ride height more than the rear. Both of these things reduce rear grip in a car which is loose to begin with and known for sliding into crowds. It's ridiculous.

Honestly, I'd probably cut a coil off the top of that spring (where the coils are close) to see where that puts you on ride. Worst case scenario is that you don't like it & have to buy another pair of rear springs. It will lower your static ride height and barely influence the operating spring rate, because those coils are made to cancel out with a light load. There are right and wrong ways to do this is you're interested.

Honestly, none of the canned spring packages do much for me. The W's are (were?) maybe the best option. If you're spending time tuning, you have to have coil-overs, because ride height is too important to ignore and they all go the wrong way with rake.
