SVO Rear End Girdle Cover and H&R Super Sport Lowered Suspension - Clearance Issues?

[SilverStallion]

I am looking to add the SVO rear end girdle to my rear diff., and I am lowered with H&R Super Sport Springs. I thought I read somewhere that you can't be low with that girdle cover else it will hit on the floor of the car.
Is this true? Is anyone running the cover with a lowered suspension? Sportlines, ROush, Saleen, or H&R?
Any info. would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I have Steeda Sport springs and a MM snubber and the SVO girdle and ... a slightly dented spare tire well. I have seen "low profile" aluminum girdles that eliminate the denting issue in various Mustang magazines but I can't remember the brand names (sorry). Not sure if the well is located in the 'New Edge' bodies exactly at the same spot as the pre-99s.

Hope this helps.

Yes it seems to be a clearance issue for the '99+.I just asked that same question yestaurday on mod depot,and when i saw Sean Hyland yestaurday ,i asked him aswell,and he confirmed it true !He said to massage the floor pan in.And this should give some clearance. From what i read,some guys just let the girdle do the denting.
I plan on using a hammer,and block of wood,to dent my floor pan,this way it doesn't ruin the paint and leave bare metal to rust.
I plan on installing my Mac girdle soon,and i got the eibach sportline springs,so this made me wonder, and ask questions too! .

I have Pro Kit springs and the FRPP girdle and a small dent in my spare tire well. In looking at the FRPP cover, the flange could be milled about .250 to .500 inches and I think that would eliminate the clearance issue.

Same problem here, dented spare tire welll but I also have a fuel line that is slightly flattened. You guys should check yours. Mine was real hard to see.

I'm in the exact same boat. I've got a T/A cover, lowered, with a MM pinion snubber. The T/A cover has done a good job of taking care of the clearance issue as well as flattening the fuel line...

How the hell is the MM panhard bar I was planning to get going to fit? Any comments?

I finally installed mine last month,and had to ding in the floor of the spare tire trunk area .
As for the gasline,i had no clearence issue with it,but did with the ventilation tube(black plastic tubing),just zipped tied it off to the side.
Even went to the dealership i deal with to double check the clearance with everything on a drive on lift.And all is well.
