Hi guys,

I know this must get asked over and over, and I truly apologize to do it again, but I'm looking for pics of different spring setups for the S197 ... I'm not finding anything specific with the search.

I'm not familiar with Mustangs, but my father has a 2007 GT. He's planning on running 20" wheels, but before he does, we need to drop it so that it doesn't look like a 4x4. The most important thing for him is that it be somewhat comfortable, and that it looks good. It doesn't need to be the ultimate handling machine.

I run a shop and have access to all kinds of shocks and springs, and I'm pretty much going to throw some Koni yellows on there, but we're not sure whether to go with H&R Sport or H&R Super Sport. If it were me, I would be putting on coilovers, but he's not looking for something that stiff.

So just wondering if people might be able to post pics of their cars running 20s, and how much of a drop they are running. That would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot guys!

Steeda springs or the Eibach Pro Kit. Both are a "mild" drop.

Eibach Pro Kit here as well. They drop the rear a little more than the front, to take up the extra gap in the rear.

Sorry to hijack but I have wanted to ask redfire 3 questions: What size tires do you run, what brand is your fuel door, and is that a 3D carbon grille? Thanks.

To the OP, I like the look of the steeds ultralights.

255/45-18 front 295/45-18 rear

Silverhorse Racing fuel door

Grill is offbrand - purchased from Blue Oval Industries. Would not recommend it. Cheap knock-off that required modification to fit. Stick with 3D Carbon or Street Scene.
