[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 16283979, member: 124025"] J brings up a good point. A given lowering spring end up with the same approximate ride height, but how far it drops from the stock height will be different between model years. The 13-14 had the lowest ride height out of all year models. Maximum Motorsports shows the following for the Eibach Pro by year model. [b]Approximate lowering[/b] [LIST] [*]2007-2010 Shelby Mustang GT500 hardtop: (Front: 1.5", Rear: 1.7") [*]2011-2012 Shelby Mustang GT500 hardtop: (Front: 1.0", Rear: 1.2") [*]2013-2014 Shelby Mustang GT500 hardtop: (Front: 0.9", Rear: 0.9") [*]2007-2010 Shelby Mustang GT500 convertible: (Front: 1.2", Rear: 1.8") [/LIST] The iron block is also a factor, so the earlier cars had a much higher ride height than the later cars. With 250 lb/in springs, the extra 100 lbs would account for another 1/4" drop over an aluminum block. I'd study as many pics as you can find to figure out what you want your stance to be and figure out what springs will get you there. I've gone with coil overs and I'm still working through my final ride height. I think it's too low in the front right now. I have adjustable strut mounts and you can still see the front has a lot of camber. Our roads are just too crappy to get away with a lot of drop. As to the splitter. The 13-14 uses the same splitter as the 10-12, but the 13-14 has 3 additional pieces that mount below it. These lower pieces can be removed for more clearance and can likewise be added to any 10-12.
