Lowering

[shaft721]

What do you guys recommend for lowering? 2” ? Springs? Coil overs?
I haven’t had a car like this since my 93 civic hatch back so I don’t know anymore!

(edit— a car to tinker with they are nothing alike I know lol)

You're likely to get more helpful responses in the Mustang GT section than the Shelby GT350 section.

I get my 350 in 2 days, not a good idea to lower the car?

2" drop is a lot on these cars. I would do ford performance springs or something similar drop wise. All depends what your end goal is of course.

Just to get rid of some of the wheel gap.

The most common options I've seen posted here are the FP, eibach, and bmr springs. FP being the ones I've seen posted most often. I've never seen the BMR springs in person but both the FP and eibachs look nice. Google search or forum search each for a pic, and see what the rates are that would work best for you. Street/ track etc.

Bmr or Ford performance springs are the way to go. The ford springs ride slightly better. The Bmr’s feel slightly more planted. Either is good choice. Both are about an inch. You’ll need to do camber plates as well and possibly camber bolts to to get the alignment dialed In.

I didn't need camber plates nor the bolts to get my car dialed in to the recommended alignment specs for the Ford Racing Track kit. Beyond that then yes.

To the OP there is a lot of options from FP, Steeda and BMR. I went with FP as a whole kit. I wouldn't do just springs. I think coil-overs are more for the track crowd. I am running the Ford Performance Track kit and IMHO this is how a PP1 car should have came.

I have these on my 20 GT and love the look and ride.

My Gt has Steeda springs, and no camber plates. The camber is ok, the toe is off. Not off to where it drives bad, but its off. Both my 350’s needed both to completely get the car in spec. Camber is easy, the toe is where it gets sporty. Most alignment shops will send the car with the camber in spec and the toe not. Most won’t notice the toe out. But every car is a little different.

MIne was right on the money of the recommended specs of the FP track kit.
