Think I want to do a small drop
 

If your going to aftermarket springs they are shorter and you dont need a compressor, true story did it last week. Use a floor jack under the A arm to slowly let the springs down until the pressure is off the spring. Then use a large flatblade screwdriver to pry the spring off its perch and then turn it clockwise and basically corckscrew it around the strut to make the whole thing shorter and then pull it all out as one piece.


Just drop the A Arm all the way down and put the strut mount end in first as on piece and then if you have to use a floor jack to compress and install.

For ride quality I will tell you the Steeda Ultralites are awesome. My car rides like stock but without all the nosedive under braking.

I have Steeda Ultralights and a panhard, Stock struts/mounts/shocks and I love it. Rides nice, good drop, and my headers don't drag on anything.

Remove them from the car before you take them apart. And Eibach make the springs for Ford Racing and might make steeda's. I run Sportlines because I like the drop but the Pro-kit is probably the best on the market! I have put a couple hundred sets on 2005 and up chassis without any complaints. I even use them on other Makes.

Yea and throw in a bmr Panhard in there too :)

FYI... The Eibach Sportlines for 05-09 GTs will give you a lower drop. I used these on my '13 DIB Base GT and I can't run 40 series tire because the tires rub to much due to the car being too low. (I have a set of tires for sale if anyone is interested. 255 40 20 and 275 40 20)

Lower your car prior to committing to a wheel and tire package. Good luck!

I run the older springs, low as fuck.

Man your car is calling for a GT500 spoiler and it will look sick.

So the tires you are selling are what you originally bought for the wheels?

Actually I bought the wheels and tires off of an s197 board member after my drop but based on his tire size. After meeting him Abilene (that was half way for both of us) and picking 'em up... oops! They were rubbing like hell. No damage to the tire but rubbing just the same. Had to drop another grand on tires. So the take offs are in the garage. $300 for the set if you are interested. Less then 1500 miles.

As for the spoiler I was thinking of doing a spoiler delete.

Yeah, I'm loving the low life!
