Lowering spring suggestions

[Xavier208]

What are the best lowering springs for a pp1 car? It will be a daily driver so I would be willing to sacrifice ride height over ride quality. Also on 20x9 265/30/20 and 20x10.5 305/30/20.

PP1 and driven driven almost daily...OEM PP1 wheels. I chose the BMR min drop and happy with them. A lot of reading info in the suspension section.

I did the Ford Performance X-springs on my PP1 and am quite pleased with the results.

I doubt that for your purposes there's such a thing as "best".

You'd probably be equally happy with either BMR's or Steeda's minimum-drop springs at less than 1" drop. Probably about as happy with the FP 'X' springs at 1" drop.

BMR lists 7/8" drop for their front min-drop springs and 1/2" for the rear, but they're also mentioning power adder which would drop the front end a little extra to begin with. NA, you'd probably end up closer to 1/2" all around. That's 1/2" more bump travel than FP.

Let me know if I can help assist in getting you in to a set of Steeda minimum drop springs - with forum discount of course

I went with Steedas. Had them on since August. Been more than happy with them. They are a bit more rough on the bumps now than they originally were which I would expect after breaking them in. Still not as rough as the PP1 srings were that's for sure.

I've heard from multiple people that they're noisy and steeda doesn't provide much help with that problem. Have you had any issues?

There shouldn't be any major noises with Steeda if installed correctly which the shop that did mine did do correctly. I just had a defective camber plate that Steeda took care of. Mine are quiet as stock. No noises whatsoever.

I've never had an issue with Steeda springs on any of my Mustangs. Just have a high quality shop do the install and have the car aligned afterwards.

Start your research with Steeda minimum drop springs or Ford X-Springs

What are your tire sizes? I just ordered some new Vossen wheels 20x9.5 +25 front and 20x10.5 +45 rear and going to be doing the Ford X-Springs when I get the wheels installed? The stance on your car looks perfect! Thanks!

What are your goals?

If you are willing to sacrifice lowering for ride quality, stay stock.
Is handling a factor (thinking no based on your tire choice and the daily driver statement)?

Another Ford Performance X-springs vote here, I'm running 19x10, 19x11 SVE X500 wheels. The X-springs don't really seem to be any harder than the OEM PP1 springs, and look much better in terms of wheel gap.

I've got a staggered setup on my car, so the tire sizes are as follows:

Front: 275/35/20
Rear: 305/35/20

The previous owner of my car installed these right before I purchased it and can honestly say I wouldn't have chosen anything different.

As far as the springs, I installed those around a year into my ownership. My experience with them is similar to Riley's where I did not notice a difference in ride quality between the x springs and my PP1 springs. I can't speak for any other brand of spring because I haven't tried them, but there was a peace of mind factor for me getting a product from the OEM.
