STEEDA lowering springs or replace OEM 2 SPLITTERS?

[Noleftist]

I have a 2022 Mach 1 with the handling package.
Trying to decide if I should replace one both or none of my splitters or would I be better off putting somebody’s lowering springs on my magna ride?
with the two splitters on already have to be super cautious about where and how I go because I’m constantly rubbing the front splitter
My two front splitters are damaged now so I’m trying to decide if I should replace them or not.
Do they really provide noticeable downforce on track or are they more for looks?
If I put STEEDA or another Co. Lowering Springs in my car, am I going to be much more likely to tear up the bottom of my car?
Best performing/appropriate and bad/inappropriate lowering springs?
I use the car as a daily driver in appropriate weather and HPDE.
Thank you.

If you have Steeda camber plates (which I highly recommend) they come setup with the ability to use Steeda’s spacer kits so you can have dual rate springs and not lose any ride height at all or go in between if you wish.

I am a little confused when you mention both/two splitters and ask if they contribute downforce and need both. The upper splitter is integral to the ensuring the bumper and belly pan are stable so you have to run the upper splitter. I doubt the factory lower splitter is that effective, but you could use rivnuts and make it removable and only run it at track days.

Replace the upper spoiler and splitter, you say they're busted up , you have a special car , broken pieces are unacceptable to most car guys . And you want to lower the car and a daily w some HPDE , ok cool ... just be careful in and out of driveways . I've scraped a couple times lightly, Im going to buy a spare to squirrel away . Some guys here have installed Factory GT500 springs .
Your car Stock is more than capable of HPDE , have fun learn you car . If you decide on performance parts at a later date , at least you drivering capilites will be at a higher level.

What Rob said. I can't recommend the dual rates enough. Still a comfortable ride in daily driving and if you add the spacer, you wont have to worry about scrubbing more than you may already do. But with them being dual rates, they stiffen up for when you do the HPDE days. As a car guy myself, i don't like broken pieces on my car. With that being said, I would at least change the lower splitter, but that is just me. Let me know if you want to choose the dual rates and I can write you up a list of parts and get you taken care of.

I don't want to lecture you so please don't take it this way but have you considered being just a bit more cautious and take your time? This isn't a cross over it's a low to the ground stiff sports car.

I treat my car like a lambo/ferrari. Every-time I drive I am constantly thinking of where I'm going and what I'm doing. I circle around I scan and I even sometimes research ahead of time the space I'm going. I will park far away and apply inconvenience just to avoid surprises. I also don't drive like it's my rav 4. If something looks sketch I don't even attempt it. I can count on one hand how many scrapes in 4 years.

just something to think about as my motto has been you don't choose the hp splitter it chooses you. However most folks have said if you remove it there will be a decrease in contact.

im on steeda progressives and i saw no changes in things I could attempt at my ride height.

Luckily none of my front chin spoilers are busted up but the HP set up is definitely tougher than any other mustang i have had to drive around on. My 03 Cobra and my 17 GT were fine on my driveway, this Mach 1 I had to buy small ramps that I put down otherwise it would scrape like crazy everytime I go in or out. I dont think I could possibly lower my car any more than it is now. If it were me I would get new Chin Spoilers and leave the springs stock.
