Yes, you have the early version we still offer both, the choice for road racers is running the early version with the 3/16 inch rear spacer. The reason we don't have the drag race look on our handling springs is because we like more 50/50 weight distribution for handling. The more you jack up the rear end, the more weight you transfer to the front wheels which is not desirable for optimum Handling.

Check out this article below by one of the most respected critics, Evan Smith in the Mustang and S550 market.The vehicles featured had the early Ultra-lights.

The only spacers on the site are 1/4" and 3/8"...there are no 3/16" that I see.

I'm ready to order but need some clarification on some details.

Sorry for the delay, just preparing for the Hurricane.

The spacers are only available in 1/4 and 3/8 we did a last minute change to the dimensions. They will raise the rear almost double the thickness of the spacer. Also. they will work with all aftermarket springs that fit into the upper production spring seat.

We work in mm over here, due to a leverage ratio on the Mustang you get:

6mm thickness = 10mm height increase.
8mm thickness = 12mm height increase.
10mm thickness = 15mm height increase.
12mm thickness = 18mm height increase.

I went with 8mm on my car, perfect stance, I'd recommend 6mm or 8mm thickness spring spacer for use with ultralites in the rear.

Any news on the front spacers? How much do these weigh? I'm wondering if they offset the weight savings of going to ultralite springs.

A spring spacer is polyurethane it literally has no weight, maybe around 200-300grams.

Quick question.. If I wanted the front lower, could I remove the lower isolator on the perch? Or would that cause noise? [MENTION=25806]SteedaTech[/MENTION]

Maybe we are talking two different things then:

DO NOT DO THAT! Yes it would cause more noise but it could also cause suspension failure.

If you want lower, buy different springs.

That's what I figured. I have bought suspension setups before that listed the isolator as optional. Was just wondering how it would be on this car.
