Yeh I am thinking about that, shop says the PP1 shocks are shit, ive heard the same here, so does it make sense at 47K to replace the shocks and struts only (Steeda), If im in the wrong thread for this let me know.
A quality shock will make more difference in how the car feels than almost any other change. I would go that route before you lower anything.

BTW I was referring to 47K meaning miles on the car...duh...sorry

Looking like I’ll go Pro Action Non Adjustable with the Minimum drop springs. Pretty basic but will work well for me.

I have the Ford track shocks and dampers with the Steeda minimum drop springs. Absolutely love this combo. Everything about the ride is better. The PP1 struts were nothing special but the rear dampers were indeed dog shit. Completely inadequate damping for the car. Bilstein will also give excellent results.

Do you feel like the Minimum drop springs went lower than 1/2 an inch ?

I got what I bought. Lowered exactly 1/2" no more.
If you plan on adding a supercharger at some point in the future, then you would drop a little more.

Here's what my PP1 looks like. Before and after:

Looks good, thank for the intel! No engine mods for me, just not really needed. I got another expensive hobby already LOL.

Bilstein and FP Track are better.

Well I did the minimum drop steeda springs and pro action dampers. car definitely handles better, I think it rides better also than the PP1 setup. I Cant really see the difference in these photos. I measured before and after so it’s 1/2 inch for sure. Im not sure but feel like maybe a little more noise from the rear…maybe. So far I like It. Top is before, not really fair pictures.
