Lowering Springs for GT vert

[SVT-DADDY]

I am booked in to get mine done on Wednesday. Going min drop as well, 082/089. I like the look of your front. Stock front always looked a tad to high for my liking. But the min drop does it for me...

Your vert is standing quite nicely.....

Thanks! I think you'll be pleased!

Stance is really sweet. What else was done?

Besides the wheels, just the basics at this point! The " to-do" list is long, however :cheers:

I hope so. It's a long time coming, and I have poured over stance pics. I am sure I have made the right decision on springs.

I was the same way, it's a big decision. I always say the stance, wing, and wheels make or break the car.


What are you doing for dampers?

I was gonna stick with the stock and cut them, why? Should I have gone another route?

Stance is a big thing for me. I like the hips our cars have. But looking down the side, they are a tad too high for my liking as compared to the wheel well. My 20mm spacers helped tremendously, but that 1/2 drop will seal the deal on the rear for me. And the front always looked a bit high as compared to the back. So this should be taken care of Wednesday. :cheers:

Pictures to follow Wednesday evening. :clap2:

I mean shocks and struts lol

I've been considering spacers myself. The wheels are just a little too tucked for my liking.

DUH!!!:doh::doh: Staying stock for now. Gonna see what happens. If I don't like the ride, I will change up. One thing at a time. My theory is, if I change our everything, and don't like it, I won't know what I don't like if I have made multiple changes. :shrug:

20mm spacers let my rears sit perfectly flush. I love it

I feel the exact same way. I'll just offer this, the factory shocks and struts are a little over matched for the springs. My car got really bouncy. Hence the PP suspension being on order. lol

Yes, I read what you experienced. I don't know if changing rears and fronts will change that. Time will tell I guess. But thank you for your honest input. :cheers:

OK, here's a spring + wheels fitment shot for you guys, better photos of the wheels to follow, but this shows how _nice_ it looks with a really proper setup.

16 GT PP
BMR SP080 springs
MMR M600 wheels, 20x10 ET35 front, 20x11 ET50 rear
Nitto G2 tires, 285/35 front, 305/35 rear
Alignment to Ford specs

Fenders filled out, but still cleanly tucked, minimal gap, no rubbing ... *boom*

Drove it home after alignment. Feels good so far. No squeaks, pops, bangs, scrapes, knocks, rubs....

More pics to come....

Outstanding!!

It'll settle down even lower too, I probably dropped another good 1/4"+ over a few days.

[MENTION=22246]Fordever[/MENTION]. Looks great, and will settle a hair more as stated!
