Searched multiple forums but never got a real answer.

I thought I read in one or two magazine articles that the springs on the 2010 mustang gt are slightly firmer and allow the car to sit slightly lower than the 2005-09 mustang. Does anyone have spring rate numbers for a 05-09 gt and 2010 gt with some additional input on the stance.

My vert with the Saleen blower weight is nose heavy while the back is high. I am thinking of using 05-09 gt coupe front springs (I think they are 15%+ stiffer than vert) and 2010 gt rear spings if they are a little shorter spring to help level the car. I know the Roush rear spring will drop about the rear about .75" but that will make for a great f/r spring differential.

I don't want any drop in the front due to the CDC chin spoiler. If it goes up .25" I can live with that (which explains the thinking for 05-09 gt coupe fronts).

Thanks

The word on the street is that the new 2010 mustang is basically a 08-09 Bullitt in terms of suspension and intake with the newer body.

They all sit up like SUV's, why not just drop the rear 1'' and be done it? I have a Whipple up front and just the rear dropped. Rides great and looks just fine.

If you are not looking for a large drop I seen some posts regarding the springs used on the Foose Stallion. I guess they are a light to mild drop. In fact I think classicdesignconcepts.com was giving them away if you bought the FRPP suspension pack they have. It might be worth giving them a call to see if those springs are what your looking for.
