When will we see lowering springs? Will we?

[protraxduner]

Will start the rear spring install this weekend, along with BMR suite of products, diff bushing lockout, cradle lockout, cradle brace. Also plan to install steeda vertical links and steeda rear sway bar. 1st time i have used the sliding bridge jack on my lift and working pretty nice, not as nice and roomy as a 2 post but should work.

Well wouldnt you know it.....I planned to try the Rear GT350 springs just for fun......guess not... stupid eibach springs appear to be wound opposite and clocked different. Not going to chance it, only way i could make them work is use the Eibach designated L and R and swap them but the ears on the springs are still clocked different. Anyway ordered CFTP rear springs and calling it a day.

As my rear cradle is dangling, guess i will but a lift jack under it and wait for the UPS/FED EX guy now.

GT500 rears are counter wound as well.

I have a set of cftp springs, im only going to use the fronts. If someone wants the rears, let me know

 

[Dmaster]

What’s the part number for the CFTP springs?

What’s the part number for the CFTP springs?

Front = KR3Z-5310-B (need two of these)
Rear = KR3Z-5560-B and KR3Z-5560-H (need one of each as they are side-specific)

 

[raceguy388]

Are the rears specific to each side of the car?

Yes, need one of each. Once you have them in hand, its easy to compare the winding direction to the one removed to make sure you install them correctly.

I was going to start a thread asking if I can put GT500 CFTP springs and sway bars on my 2017 GT350. Looks like I’ve found the answer here, and it’s yes? GT500 and GT350 OEM rear springs are both counter wound correct? OP did you have any issues installing those GT350 springs on your OEM GT500 front shocks? (Other than ride height). Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences with this stuff.

I had no issues with installing the gt350 front springs on the gt500 other than they are stupid low on the GT500, so low that i ordered CFTP springs. No idea what the consequences will be if you do the opposite. However the back springs were a NO go, at least i was not willing to try. I was putting Eibach GT350 springs on my GT500. When i got to the back, the drivers Eibach was wound opposite of the GT500 spring. So i thought to myself i will grab the pass Eibach and it was wound the same as the Drivers stock GT500, BUT.....the last coil ear was clocked different between the 2. I have no idea if that would matter or not but didn't want to mess with doing all this only to have $hity results so i through in the towel and ordered all GT500 CFTP springs. So i have both NEW GT350 Eibach springs and LN GT500 regular springs if you are at all interested. THE only reason i went with GT350 springs is because i was impatient and didn't want to wait on real GT500 lowering springs. IF you have a GT350 i would suggest just using GT350 springs as there is a TON of choices for you.

I would presume they will fit, but the cars have significant weight differences (especially on the front end). So why would you do that? I’d go with GT350R springs or Steeda (which is what I have on my GT350).
Somewhere on here there is a posting with spring rates for the Base vs CFTP GT500s. Might want to find the same numbers for GT350 vs GT350R to make sure you get the right height & handling you expect.

Do they make adjustable coilovers for the GT350?

Probably, but you would lose MagnaRide if they were changed out.

Have we thought about regular gt350 springs? They already sit lower than 500 and not as drastic as gt350 lowering springs
