Please post a pics when you get a chance, I was looking at these springs for my convertible. Thx.I just put these springs on and the back of my vert DEFINITELY sits lower than the coupes in the pictures. This is with the steeda shocks and struts as well. I'm running 19's PP Wheels and the rear wheel well actually sits below top of tire. Rides and handles great but sits low in back.
Not the best angle but it's all I have on my phone right now. But you can see that you see more of my front tire tread than the rear. I'll try to get a better profile shot later.Can you put up some photos so we can see the drop?

Different angle on flat ground. Still an obvious difference in height. I can actually feel the upright nose when I drive it.Not the best angle but it's all I have on my phone right now.

Well, the first problem with that is that I shouldn't have to pay extra to get the product to perform as advertised. I believe the problem is that these are marketed to GT and Ecoboost owners, coupe and convertible. Well, the lighter front and the heavier rear of an ecoboost 'vert vs. a GT coupe is causing the rearward slope I'm experiencing. So, the question becomes, is the front sitting higher than advertised, is the back sitting lower or is the advertised height somewhere in-between.Steeda makes rear spring spacers to adjust rear ride height if needed for the convertibles
They are a simple install too.

OK. Using the above parameters, I measure 14 inches on both fronts and 13 1/4 inches on both rears. Both sides measured exactly the same as their axle counterpart.To properly measure ride height, measure from the center of the hub to the edge of the wheel opening front and rear. The vehicle needs to be on a flat service with the front wheels straight.

Follow up: I'm heading to Steeda in the morning and they're gonna take a look at my setup and try to figure out why it's sitting sloped backwards. I gotta say, I'm getting some amazing customer service from Steeda and reminds me why I've been using Steeda products since my 96 GT!The time has come to put springs on my 15 EB. I'd had my eye on the Steeda Progressive 555-8212 springs that were specific for the EB, now I see they have been replaced by the all-inclusive 555-8210 model that fits GT/EB/V6. What I'm not understanding is how this one spring can offer the same 1.25" front drop for all models...the v8 and v6 models would logically weigh more in the front end than the EB due to a larger engine so either those models would push the front end down further than 1.25" or this spring is rated for them and the EB wouldn't drop as much.
I searched the forums and the spring rate thread to no avail, it's mostly GT information. Can someone (Steeda?) clue me in here...and I'm sorry if I'm missing something obvious.
The 555-8212 is still available from some retailers, so if it comes down to it, I can just order them there but I was hoping to go factory direct. Thanks!
Please do...is it raked more than 1/4" toward the back?Follow up: I'm heading to Steeda in the morning and they're gonna take a look at my setup and try to figure out why it's sitting sloped backwards.

I'll post the results after my visit!
Reporting back in!!! I made the 4 hour drive this morning, worth it, and met with Matt, Jigger and (I'm horrible with names) I believe Jamie, who did the work. They met me at the door and immediately took my car to the back. The short story is that Jamie observed a 5/8" drop from front to back. He installed 3/8" spacers on the back. This brought me up 5/8" and returned my rake to factory. Massive and noticeable difference in appearance and ride. Strange that such a small difference could be noticeable. They also checked my alignment which was not effected by the drop.Please do...is it raked more than 1/4" toward the back?
I did pick up a set of the 555-8212 springs from American Muscle so I was able to get the proper springs. I just need to find a local alignment shop to preload/clock the bushings after I'm done. I'd like to drive down to Steeda and have them do it but it's a 7hr drive...
