So far I've pretty much seen that the only choices for lowering a Magnetic ride suspension car is either Ford Racing or Steeda but it's a very minor drop at best. Looking for anyone that has lowered their car with one of these setups who also has aftermarket wheels and tires so I can get an visual on what it looks like and how much gap is still there with different tire setups. If you haven't lowered your magnetic equipped car but have aftermarket wheels and tires on there let me see those too!

Looks good! Is the car on level ground in that pic? Trying to figure out how much gap there is when it's sitting level.

Your wheel gap looks just as big or bigger than mine is with stock springs? Did you clock the bushings after the springs went in?
Maybe the angle but it did reduce.

The rear wheel diameter on the new wheels is slightly smaller then stock so it will counter the 20mm drop a little

Drag pack and daily wheels. Steeda mag ride lowering springs. I picked these over others because I wasn't looking for a crazy increase in stiffness and I wanted an even 1" drop. I can say after a year, I'm very happy still. Keep in mind the car looks lower than it is. The additional front and side splitters make it look lower. Those are 28" tires on the drag pack too.

That looks perfect! So the Steeda springs drop it lower than the FRPP springs? How do they do that without reprogramming the Magneride?

I believe the FRPP mag ride springs were designed for GT350 originally which sits lightly lower than a performance package GT. So them saying 3/4" drop is referring to a GT350. They're both essentially a 1" drop on a performance package GT.

I agree ... even after a year, it still looks great!
