Steeda Lowering Springs

[blakedanatural]

Hello All,
I have a 2015 gt premium and I just got my Steeda springs along with new upper and lower insulators. I have 19 x 11 wheels with 285/35/19 Nittos 555 all the way around. With the drop in the front being 1.25 and the rear 1.0 will I have any clearance issues or issues with the turn radius? I wasnt thinking at 1st when I ordered. I was planning to install this weekend with a alignment from Ford on Monday.
Thank you,
Blake

I would suggest taking a look at the many other threads that talk about lowering and wheel/tire sizes. Your wheel offsets will be the main determining factor of the clearance issues.

Yeah the tire can fit no prob, but an 11” wheel width needs very specific offsets to fit in the front.

Do you know what size do I need? I will hold off on the install and I will call Steeda

Yes both wheels are 19 x 11 gt350 from LMR.COM

Maybe I have to get one of those minimal drop springs. I have the orange koni struts and shocks.

those will be fine on the rear and will need 1” spacers (ideally slip on spacers over extended studs) and camber plates to fit the front.

Got me thinking now if its worth it. I have a 2015 Gt Premium with 92000 miles on it. I have the koni struts and shocks( orange)with the BMR sway bars front and back and steeda rear brace with rear vertical links. I may just get factory springs and keep the ride height. What do you think?
Thank you for all your help too

not sure how good thise Koni orange shocks are.

No sense in running 11” wheels with nito 555 tires. Spend the money on good tires instead. 9.5 or 10” wheels are plenty unless you’re racing.

min drop handling spring (i.e. ateeda, BMR or like GT350R springs) with FRPP shocks is a good combo (or bilsteins if you like).

Stock PP1 springs with Koni yellows and your swaybars works too.

Definitely don’t want to be as low as you currently are.

11” wheels are fun, but the tires are what matter so spend more on sticky tires and save the wheels for later.

Appreciate you NightmareMoon. Im about to order the Michelin sport 4s 285 35 19. Not racing at all I just liked the wide tires. To be honest I just wanted the lowered stance for the look. Im going to see if I can exchange for mininum drop steedas or return them totally. I have to see if I got them from AM or CJ pony. I may just order factory springs since these have 92000 miles on them upgrade the struts and shocks. I have my factory wheels 255s with all season tires on them. I put them on in November to April. Thank you so much for your help .
