Steeda Springs....??

[whyask]

Ok so I went to day to have my H&R supersports put in and when we got the car up on the rack... She already had Steeda Ultralite Springs in .... I though that was odd.. since the car was very very new.. !!! I just thought my car looked normal since every stang ive had has SAT on the ground, None the less I left them in and am now deciding should I keep them in..?? What would you do ! Im getting 18x10 295/45/18 for the rears and not sure if the H&R's will sit too low and the steeda sit too high !? there is my delima ! Any help would be great ! Thanks

Steeda 1'" drop all 4 corners
H&R SS 1.9" in the rear
1.7" in the front

I have the 295/45-18s on on 18x10 at the rear with about 1.25" of drop and it's close, but not TOO close. Another .7" of drop could make a lot of difference however. Perhaps get taller bump stops to prevent the tire and fender from meeting.

You may have seen it, but here is a recent pic of the rear after being lowered.

Why not just mount the wheels with the current springs and evauluate from there? You may like the current springs with the new wheels.

It's so sweet when you do get it though. I got a small bonus last OCT($12,000 tax free ) and my wife should be getting the first part of hers around Aug-Sept.
Honestly, with the springs I would just hold off till you get the wheels. I'm assuming your car is the one in your avatar? If so it already looks good, no sense in changing the springs now. I'd just wait until you get the rims. If it's too high then you can change your springs. On the bright side, you can sell the ones you don't use!

Oh man I wish that was mine in the Avatar.. I have a satin Silver 08 GT with maching stock bullits

That's weird. Did you buy the car used? I would not go with anything lower than 1.5" in the rear. You're talking almost an inch more than Kool is lowered and look at that back tire. I would stay where you're at, or get something like the pro kit.

I just had my steeda ultralites swapped out saturday for FRPP k springs. I love the stance now. I had the UL's on for over a year and was never really happy with the tire gap. The ride was excellent but the car didn't look much different then stock.

It's sitting low now, you can feel it too everytime you hit a bump.

blacksheep you just made my mind up for me LOL, im swapping them out, and your right there not much differnce than stock! DID you have to buy camber plates and a PH bar !?

I had the PH bar installed with the UL's and it was needed because the mechanic said it through the stance off in the back.

I didn't need the camber plates.
