Lowering springs question

[5.0 guy]

Last Nov I had Steeda Sportline lowering springs installed and it doesn't sit as low as I thought it would. I have noticed some of you have the same springs but looks like you sit lower, how many miles on average does it normally take the springs to settle completely, just rolled 300 miles this morning. Thanks

I'm not sure on this but I am wondering if you got the relocation brackets for the control arms? I am thinking that the relo brackets allow for a fuller range of motion thus allowing the the spring to reach that lower position? I remember reading that the Steeda springs were lower in the rear thus I wanted some. Couldn't find any. I am glad I got the Ford Racing Performance Parts 1.25 springs. I also got a complete package made up of all BMR parts from Revan Racing! Once I install 5.0 I will post some pics so we can compare ...

That would be great! All I have don't so far is the spring and tint. What you are saying makes total sense, I plan to order a long list from Van soon I just wanted to get a few miles on her first. The reason I went with Steeda was becaus I went with their adjustable suspension on my 08 GT500 and the car looks sick!

I like that adjustable stuff. I am starting to wonder if I am gonna have to start dodging speed bumps haha! Being able to raise and lower would be a cool option for sure!

It came with a spanner wrench so it's easy to adjust, plus for the car show guys they can lower it all the way down for show without leaving their rear end on the road somewhere!

So that's how those guys get so lo for pictures and such. That is super cool for sure.

What product are you talking about?

Ill post you a pic when I get home later, it Definately looks great but my local dealer went to low on my 08 in the front but it only has a 1,000 miles on it so I don't care at this point.

Sorry missed your post earlier, it seems that Van uses BMR so ill probably go that route. I'm getting ready to do a 13-6 kit with the lower pulley and a full SW exhaust now that I've racked a few hundered miles on her. I noticed that the engine had a strange tick when it's cold and ever since the 03's had that issue I'm real sensitive to engine sounds but I'm sure its nothing though!

 

[ford13]

i guess going real lo when it is parked is ok but to drive it that way might bang the body off the ground.

At 56 miles between the deal and me we replaced the front valance three times, left the last one the dealer replaced in the box and left the scratched one installed.

5.0 guy - I have Ford Racing springs and just ordered rear BMR suspension parts from Van. Also just installed the 13-6 kit from Van....WOW!! What a difference.

I'm in Castle Rock - maybe we can get together once I get the BMR parts installed so you can see it in person.

That would be great! I've only seen two other 13's both were grabber blue coupes passing through on the road.

I have Steeda lowering springs with Steeda LCA and brackets. I believe once you add the LCAs and brackets you be pleased with the results. Good Luck.

No worries! I'll let you know when I get all the parts in.
