Steeda Springs

Post by GTMustang on July 6th 2009, 10:29 am

I'm looking forward to having Steeda springs installed on my 06-GT in the next couple of weeks to lower it just a little. Don't want to lower too much and pull my bumper off. Thinking they said 3/4" in front and 1 3/4" rear.

If you're looking for just a small drop you can always go with the Roush rear leveling springs. They will give you a 1" drop in the rear that will match the gap in the front. I was happy with the stance in front so that is the route that I chose.

Here is a pic of completely stock suspension with the rear Roush springs added...



Here is mine after the install...





Only $120 shipped...makes a huge difference.

I like that look of the rear leveling springs only...any changes to ride/handling? Does it keep the rear centered? (Did you need to install adjustable panhard bar afterwards?)

Actually made quite a noticeable difference in handling after I installed the springs, BMR adjustable panhard, and Shelby 4 bolt strut tower brace. It definitely eliminated alot of the slop and body roll when cornering and going over RR tracks etc. The springs definitely make the ride slightly firmer, but in no way rough at all. I was kind of expecting the front and rear to feel mismatched, but they seem to react exactly the same. I was always very disappointed with the way the stock suspension felt when cornering...how it feels now is how it should have came from the factory IMO.

Anything under a 1" drop should not shift your rear noticeably. Unfortunately, mine was already over 1/4" off towards the driver's side with the stock springs and I'm running 295's which made it noticeable. That was the only reason that I bought the adjustable panhard.
