The sport springs pair very well with both the active shocks & struts ... & the fixed Pro Actions. Alberto has been running the actives & as mentioned - he has been happy.

Are these made by Koni?

Hi MTR,
I have Steeda's min drop springs also. The 200/800 linear rate is fantastic! Those spring rates are exactly what the weight of this vehicle needs to make this feel like a sports car.
With the dampers matched to the spring rates, it is more comfortable than stock also. Important: make sure to also get Steeda's rear upper shock mounts and camber plates. With 200# linear rate front springs and camber at 1.6° to 1.7°, the steering/handling is significantly improved.

Take a look at the spring rates and ride frequency for the various Mustang models:

What drag strip are you planning on going to? I have been waiting for what seems like forever for Milan Drag Way to reopen after(still in) bankruptcy.

Why get the camber plates for a .5" drop? Won't the front camber be ideal with that drop as-is?

Also, just as an aside, if you opt for the Ford Track dampers I believe they already come with new shock mounts.

I have done some autocross (the front camber was 1.0). This season's front camber is 1.7. I expect a significant improvement in steering. Also, @Norm Peterson recommended for years to get the camber plates when doing the struts, and I decided to trust his advice.

I guess for adjustability for an aggressive setup for racing, but for just a street car I don't know why you would need them.

I'm also interested in the Pro Actives but curious if they have any reliability issues vs. the Pro Actions. If I recall correctly I think I saw more negative reviews for the Pro Actives. Not overwhelming by any means, but with any new product there's usually some kinks to work out.

There are no issues with the Actives when properly installed & paired with the correct springs - they do come with a lifetime warranty. Install & run with confidence.
