I have 2011 gt, about to order 20x9 and 20x11(55 offset) forgestar f14 looking to put 275/35 nt05 on front and 315/35 nitto nt05r on rear. i want it slammed. i was looking at h&r super sports with adjustable panard bar, had them on past mustangs and liked the drop. im just worried i might rub on this setup. Any recommendations?

You're gonna need camber plates for the front struts and an adjustable upper control arm as well if you're going to slam the car.

On top of what lsxjunkie said you may also want to look into some really good shocks if you don't already have them. You shouldn't rub if the dampening and springs rates are right for the drop.

100% this. You're going to have an ill handling car if you drop that low with stock shocks. You might as well buy the struts and the camber plates together so you can assemble them all at once to put on the car. Rear shocks and springs are a breeze to swap.

I'm happy with my bmr springs as well... Sometimes Id like a 1/4" lower in the back but with a full tank of gas and my golf clubs back there it's perfect

Happy here with BMR, any lower and it wouldn't make it up the driveway.

I went from SR springs, to Sportlines and finally to H&R Supersports with Koni STR.T's and GT500 mounts. Love the stance, its perfect IMO, and really doesn't ride bad either. Should have gone with SS's initially, but it seems I like to learn things the hard way.
