Steeda's Extreme Ultralite Linear Lowering Springs - Thoughts?

[dausmus]

I have a PP 2018 Ecoboost and thinking about getting these. I'm also running the PP wheel setup so what sized spacers could I run with this setup? 20mm?

just installed ultralite extremes and having rubbing issue in back. running 315 35 20s on 20x11s with 50mm offset. love the way it looks, love how it drives just rubs over bumps. alignment shop said they couldnt do it so hoping i can tweak the camber in back myself just enough till i can find a shop that can help me out.

The way I understand it . . . I hope you've got lots of patience. Seems there's a lot of "crosstalk" between toe and camber with these new IRS arrangements (adjusting one affects the other - a lot), and you're probably in for a lot of chasing your own tail trying to get both settings where you want them.

Those inch-taller-than-OE tires aren't helping you at all here . . . wheels with a few mm more positive offset could have helped that if you've still got room on the inside.

You've got two choices: rear spring spacer to bring the height up, or shorter & narrower tires. The 315s are bulging on your wheels and giving you more headache with clearances. 305/30R20 would work.

spacers are on the way. smaller tires when these wear out, (which will probably be quick). for now i placed a little more ( - ) camber on the drivers side and no more rubbing. i appreciate your help.

What are some recommended dampers to go along with these?

Also, will rear toe arms be necessary to get allignment to OE/GT350 spec?

ProAction adjustables would be your best choice. You don't need extra parts to get the toe into alignment.

Perfect. Thanks for the response!

I have a 19 PP running 25mm 1” spacers all around will these extreme springs rub any ?

Wanted to revive this thread; getting these thrown on tomorrow! Along with C/C plates and a bumpsteer kit.

Super excited!!

Love to hear your feedback!

Will do! I have the Sport Progressives right now from Steeda, love them. Very reminiscent of OEM PP springs. I have an alignment set for Saturday and then next Friday as well just to double check everything.

Just wanted to update;

got these installed a little bit ago and alignment last week. They feel good, definitely stiffer.

I was expecting more of a drop to be honest, compared to my sport progressives I can barley tell a difference. So either the Sports drop is a conservative estimate or these are a generous estimate. Maybe I am blind to the difference.

They feel good on the PP dampers.

Overall, I am happy.
