As title says, I’ll be picking up a new set of wheels 19x10 and 19x11 MPH1 wheels from SVE

Almost certainly set on 285/35/19 front and 325/30/19 rear Michellin PS4s

Going to go ahead and add on Steeda Progressive Sport lowering springs with magneride while I’m at it. (Approx 1” drop all around)

Car is 2022 stage 2 Roush supercharged performance pack GT.

I’m pushing my budget a bit here with doing all this at once, but while they are changing the rims and tires seems like It makes sense to do the springs as well. I just want to know if anything else is absolutely necessary with the lowering springs specifically. I read camber bolts / camber plates etc..Car is a daily driver, no track or drag use as of now. Spirited driving on straight roads here and there… thanks in advance. I don’t mind spending more and fine tuning things if it’s absolutely necessary. Don’t want to blow my budget but also don’t want to create any problems. Also I am aware I will need an alignment which the shop will do.

I do appreciate all suggestions, and from my research there are definitely “best” things to do but they put me much more out of budget than I’d like at the moment, wheels, tires, and springs alone put me at about 3.5k and current budget is 3k…not including labor, so already exceeded 😂. But again just want to stick with what’s necessary. Car doesn’t see intense track days or drag strips. A couple pulls a week keeps me happy.

Thanks again! New to this thread, as someone who lacks knowledge in modifying cars grateful for you guys, much better than asking Reddit.

Also off topic, but without getting a whole “mach 1 bumper” is there a splitter attachment that’s similar and compatible with the stock pp1 front splitter? I swear every one I find is for “GT without performance pack”

If anyone has a link for one or something similar please lmk!

Similar to that, but I like the things on the side that poke up as well. Everyone I find like that says it’s not compatible with PP1 splitter.

slow junk
I’d buy camber bolts but not have them installed unless absolutely necessary to bring camber back in spec. I’d also get this kit since you’re going to be in there and the cars going to get an alignment. Finally, the two biggest things that you need to make sure happen are that ALL the necessary suspension bushings are “clocked” correctly after the install and that the shop is willing to actually adjust rear camber if required during the alignment. Both of those things are HUGE pains to do correctly but they need to be done.

Thank you so much. I’ll definitely pick up that kit and share this information with the shop.

Steeda Progressive Sport lowering springs
are LOW. more like 1.25" or more. Make sure you want that much sag.

Car is 2022 stage 2 Roush supercharged performance pack GT.
ick, so you've got another 150lbs up front. You want the dual-rate springs, if frankly something even stiffer under that engine.
