I'm looking to pick some brains. I currently have a brembo pkg gt and I'm looking to swap the springs out with the ford "k" springs because its only a 1 inch drop, I'm only doing 1 inch because I'm planning on putting the California special lower chin spoiler on and Texas has some nasty angle driveways, anyway do I need an UCA and relocation brackets with this set up? If so who is everyones favorite?
ford racing "k" springs

The K springs are 1.5 I believe not 1, you're thinking about the P springs. When I did mine I swapped LCA's, got relo brackets, PHB and brace to set everything else up correctly. I don't think you "need" relo brackets but your LCA's will be pointing upward which won't help with traction, also shouldn't need a UCA to correct pinion angle.
I have the ford springs for a 1 inch drop. The only other part I needed was an adjustable pan hard bar. I also got the camber bolts but did not need to use them when i took the car in for an alignment after lowering it. The springs have been on the car for 20k miles and I have had no issues.

Yeah correction.. P springs.. my stock bar won't work? So relocation brackets? .. who makes the nicest bolt on?
Made sure I put on my flame suit. I went with Whiteline LCA's and relo brackets brace and PHB, but BMR's brackets seem to make more sense for the adjustablity they come with. Your stock bar will work but your drivers side wheel will stick out and the opposite will happen on the passenger side. Not sure if it will cause issues for the DS but it does mess up the rear end geometry.
FRPP K-springs with adjustable panhard bar and camber bolts only. I run 305/35/19's on the AMR wheels (9.5" wide in rear) with no rubbing or anything. P-springs are even less of a drop so you'd be fine with those.
I run k-springs and didn't need camber bolts, or camber plates.
You only need the panhard bar and the springs. K springs will keep your front alignment within factory specs. Nothing else will be needed.
i run P springs (1" drop) and an adjustable PHB, FR LCA's without the relocation brackets. no wheel hop, although i feel like it spins a little more than it did stock. i also added an intake and a tune so i figured the extra spin was from the increased power, however now im thinking the LCA's need to be relocated. hmm
The bolts are cheap, but not the best solution. I have had the k-springs with no bolts or cc for about 30k miles no abnormal wear on my tires.
i just put the k springs on and ordered the bolts, i get it lined up wed, i would rather have them and not need them than the other way around.
No way you would need bolts, but good idea just in case. Probably be at about 1.5- in the front with the drop.
I didnt need the bolts just a 4 wheel alignment took care of it
I ran the p-springs for a couple thousand. Did nothing but the springs and everything was within alignment specs. Individual results may vary...
Here is my car on the Vorshlag bilstien street kit with FRPP K springs. This is with BMR adj panhard and vorshlag CC plates. As stated the K are 1.5" drop
