07-09 with rear lowered only. ...pics,info?

[nfmsuprar1]

I know it's been done but can't find any info or pics anywhere. Post up if you lowered the rear only on your 07-09 Gt500.

H&R Sport springs with OEM 18" wheels and stock size tires, rear only lowered by 1-5/8". I did not like the fender gap up front after lowering the rear only.

Then installed the front lowering springs which lowered the front exactly 1".

And finally upsized my wheels to 19s with roughly the same OEM tire diameter:

Looks better lowered front and rear for sure.

I just lowered mine last week . I had my mind made up that I was just going to lower the rear since the front all ready sits fairly low . That lasted a day front springs went on couldnt be happier

Thinking about going that route. How is the ride compared to stock?

Serious question. Why would you only lower the rear of a car?

Serious question. Why would you only lower the rear of a car?

Some of these cars have serious rake with the factory springs and lots of owners prefer a "leveled" look. If you like the factory ride height and the back end sits an inch higher than the front, why would you not want to lower the rear? Probably not a great idea if you routinely carry passengers in the back.

I ended up with Steeda springs all the way around .

@nfmsuprar1 How do you like the ride & handling on those Steeda springs & was the drop as advertised? I’ve been looking for a set of springs and those are on sale this weekend but I don’t see a lot of guys running them on their 500’s.

I don't have much drive time with them yet but they seem to ride pretty nice. Ride seem's tighter and a fairly smooth ride still but defintley notice the big bumps and dips more.

The drop is very close to what it was advertised as and is the main reason I went with the Steeda springs. I didnt want to slam the car and didn't want the front end to sit too low. It was one of the least aggressive drops advertised as 1 inch in the front and 1.2 in the rear .

You're right ,not many gt500 guys running them but so far I'm completely happy with them.
