Has anyone fitted lowering springs and wheel spacers to their non-handling pack Mach 1?

I understand that the Mach 1 has differently tuned suspension to the regular GT performance pack (although still has a pretty big arch gap), so would it need specific springs?

And with the wheels being wider than the regular performance pack wheels what spacer size is best to to get them flush with the arches?

Thanks in advance. Don't have Mach 1 yet, just doing my research!

If it's UK spec, you'll need the Magneride springs. Steeda and Ford Performance have these and I plan to have mine done as soon as it arrives (as well as an H-Pipe). I don't think you'll need spacers as the wheels are 9.5F and 10R and look to be pretty good from what I've seen for offset.

Thanks Phil, good to know ref springs.

I have 20mm spacers all round on my GT which sits pretty much perfectly. If the Mach 1 wheels are half an inch wider then I'm guessing you'd need about an extra 10mm to get them flush with the arches but be good if anyone could confirm.
