Whipple front weight concern?

[KT3]

For my Whipple Mustang people... Did you notice any sort of drop at the front end after installing the whipple?

Currently on eibach pro kit (1 inch drop) wirh 285/35/20. I plan on getting coilovers eventually, but not right when the whipple is installed.

Just wanna make sure the rubbing doesn’t get any worse with the Whipple installed, otherwise I may have to get coils sooner than I anticipated.

You shouldn't have an issue.

With stock springs I'd say the front end dropped 1/4" or so after the whipple was put on.

Front did lower a bit more with the Whipple and accessories.

Have a VMP 2.3 on this car, but the package weight is comparable. The answer to your question is "no."

Right on... Thank you. I have about just over half an inch of room in the front, lol.

Don't know if the installation instructions say to remove a grounding spring tab from the underside of the hood, but you may want to check that out. My blower case has a groove worn into it near the back, and I just noticed it a few days ago? Lines up perfectly with one of those ground spring tabs. Don't guess it will eat all the way through the case, but still..... Give yours a look to be sure.

I called my shop and let them know I have a taller tire set up... they said i don’t need coil overs and i’ll be fine with the added weight....

You shouldn't have anything to worry about any crazy added weight in the front with a Whipple. BMR does make Forced induction rated springs if you're interested which would help keep the car planted. https://www.lethalperformance.com/b...t-drag-lowering-springs-forced-induction.html
