2011 GT500 - H&R Sport Rear Lowering Springs - Before/After

[YELL03]

Just installed H&R Sport Rear lowering springs on my 2011 GT500 Vert, they are a 3/4" drop.

The ride is no different from stock from my limited 30 minute drive home dodging potholes.

Here is a before and after, what a difference cosmetically.

No need to be sorry, I'll snap better pics later, maybe you are right.

Feedback, positive or negative is always appreciated.

Lowering springs transform the looks of the Mustang. You'll love 'em. I noticed a slightly rougher ride long term, but not anything really to complain about.

Being I went with only rear springs and a slight drop (1" max) along with shorter bump stops, I think the ride will be almost the same.

I don't plan on driving much until all the potholes are patched, I can't afford another 2 rims and a tire again.

Looks good, where did you get the springs from?

Not sure if they are a Forum Vendor, PM me.

I got the H&R Rear Springs and Bump stops from them.

Total cost was under $175.

Last, but not least, it definitely could use an adjustable panhard bar to center the rear, but I probably won't do one as it is not noticeable from behind the car.

YELL03, look'in good! I put H&R Sports on the rear only at first, but the springs settled to a little over 1.5 inches of drop on my Coupe, so the rear appeared lower than the front when looking at the gap between the tires and fenders. I went ahead and installed the front springs which lowered the front exactly 1 inch. The ride quality is great, only slightly stiffer than stock with a lower center of gravity. I did have to correct the negative camber though for my driving style... one mod always leads to another.

I will keep an eye on it.
If it drops more it will be as easy as adding front springs.
The ride quality right now is PERFECT.
