Quick Question About Springs/lowering

Hey Guys,

I am putting a set of 20" Shelby CS-40 wheels on my wife's 06 'Vert Shelby GT-350 tribute tomorrow. They are staggered 9's and 10's. I may have to lower the car just a smidge. I have never lowered an 05 up before. I have a spare set of GT springs and was looking at them but I cannot tell if they can be trimmed and still fit correctly. On the foxes and SN-95's, you can trim the coils and they still fit properly. I will probably end up putting some 1" drop springs in there at some point, but with the $$$ shelled out on the wheels, it will need to wait a minute so I may trim the stock springs, or the spare set of GT coils that I have, to give it a better look. Can you trim the springs on the 05-up stang?

Also, can someone tell me if there is a difference in the GT springs and Pony Package springs. I thought that the pony package springs were supposed to be closer to GT stuff might I could be mistaken.

Thanks for your help.

Jarrod,

Thanks for the info and pictures. All I can say is WOW! Your car looks great! That is exactly how I want my wife's car to sit but I like them a little lower than she does. It may sit okay with the wheels, but I am running 255/35 on the front and 275/35 on the rear so they have a tiny side wall. The guy that I bought them from had them on a '12 CS with the FMS 1" drop springs on it and it was fine. How do your sportlines ride??? What size tires are you running?

Thanks. That is what I have heard about the Eibach's. I have never run them on any of my cars as I prefer the motorsport springs for their ride quality. My 94 Fauxbra Vert has old school FRPP springs on it and rides like a Caddy despite sitting about 2.5" lower than stock and 255/40 and 295/35 tires on 18's. Thanks again for all of your help. I will only trim those springs if I absolutely have to.

BTW, I might be doing something wrong but your sig just shows the LRS logo on my end. I cannot see your 13.
