I apologize in advance, im sure there is a hundred threads on springs but I havent been able to find comparisons to the eibach pro kit and the eibach extreme, as far as looks and performance which set do you guys think would be best with some 20" wheels or is it a no go because it would rub?
Lowering springs
- Thread starter svo600
- Start date
I just installed some Steeda Compertition springs on my '11 (SVTPP). It didn't lower the front too much but the rear came down quite a bit. The car now sits almost level. Im guessing I have somewhere around an inch of wheel well. The car actually looks like it sags in the rear because of the rear tire being taller but if you measure it there is about 1/4" difference. I only have about 5 miles on it since lowering the car and I think it might ride better than it did with stock springs.
I don't think you would have any problems running 20's with these springs. But if you're looking to slam the car these springs aren't what you want. Steeda advertises 1" drop in the front and 1.2" in the rear. Sorry I don't have any pic yet.

I common spring that many people are using now is the Roush Springs. They are a 1-1.25" drop all around. It is low enough where it cleans up the gap, keeps the ride quality very smooth and firm and not to low.
Something else to look into that's all.

Check out the H/R Springs. Max. Motorsports may still sell them in Pairs or sets of 4.
Yeah thats mine. The pic was taken before the lowering springs. I will try to get some newer pics up soon. Unleashedbeast has some pics of his car that my springs came out of.
I ran Steeda sports on my 04 Cobra and really liked them which was my reasoning for going with Steeda springs again.
The only difference is...
the added weight of the iron block in my car allowed for a bit more drop in the front.
Steeda Comp springs, stock struts/shocks
Cobra Jet spring front
QA1 12-150 springs rear

We've actually got Eibach Pro-Kit's and Sportlines in stock.
Pro-Kit
Eibach 2007-2012 Shelby GT500 Pro Kit Lowering Springs [35115.140] : Lethal Performance, Performance parts for Ford Mustangs
Sportlines
Eibach 2007-2012 Shelby GT500 Sportline Lowering Springs [4.11535] : Lethal Performance, Performance parts for Ford Mustangs
The Pro-Kit might be the best set up for you for a street driven car. An inch in the front, and 1.2 in the rear. You shouldn't have an issue with 20" wheels with the Pro-Kit either.
Let me know if you have any other questions..
Thanks!

im gonna need a ride to test out the new springs
ill bring my camera too!
Sounds like a dude on dude date.....
The car basically sits level now so thats all I was worried about. The front end does seem to "bob" alittle going down the road. I'm not sure if it is more or less than before the springs since I haven't drove the car much in the last two months. But I figure it has something to do with the lighter front endThe only difference is...
the added weight of the iron block in my car allowed for a bit more drop in the front.

the best kind!
If you still have stock shocks, that's why. That a heavy 225 in./lb. rate linear front spring with only a stock valved damper trying to control it. Get some adjustable to tune the "bob" out. I didn't notice that because the iron block is so much heavier than your aluminum counterpart.
That is plan for next winter. The next things on my list are UCA, aluminum D.S., get rid of the converters...maybe some LT's :shrug:.
Thanks for advice though. :beer:
