Hi. I wanted to get members current perspective/Opinions as to what they had to do when doing a minimal lowering with Springs like the Ford Performance M-5300-W Springs on my GT . I am having a set of Forged wheels made and plan on running 285/30/19" on the front and 325/30/19" on the rear which will be a little lower profile, so I want to remove some of the wheel gap but, I do not want to make it to where I have to worry about scraping on speed bumps or driving into my driveway. I don't want to slam to the ground, just remove about an inch of gap.
- What did you you have to replace suspension wise, so the car can be aligned back into specs.
- I am also going to install the LP Bread and Butter Package with the Ford Springs.
I didn't know if their was something else people had found necessary to change when doing a 3/4" 1" Lower springs.
Thank you for your help

you might want to try some quality time in the wheels and suspension section.
If you drop 1" you generally want the bump-steer kits and roll-center correcting lateral links.

All very well explained in the suspension section.

You don't need anything else to be able to align it to spec.
