I need some advice from some fellow mustang owners. I have a little bit of cash to spend and really want to lower my GT/CS with the Ford Racing K springs. I was going to buy them from AM ($209.00) but then found them for much cheaper on Blue Oval industries ($169.00).. seems to good to be true. I have had good experience with AM both in service and product but would really like to save some $$. Anyone here every had any experience with BOI? or know somewhere else I could buy Ford Racing K springs??

Are you sold on the Ford Racing K springs or do you want to consider the Steeda Sport Springs?

Our sport springs will give you a drop of (1 inch in the front and 1.25 in the rear) or if you want to go lower we offer the ultra lite which gives you a 1.25 in the front and 1.5 in the rear). The Ford Racking K springs are good, but the Steeda springs are even better.

These springs offer:

• High quality lower weight wire for less unsprung weight and less inertia for the best ride quality available of any lowering spring

Hope you don't mind, just wanted to give you other options.

I'm pretty much sold on the Ford Racing. I really like the aggressive stance they give the car, and I dont want the back of the car lower than the front. Plus the steeda are just outside my price range :-(
But I do appreciate the info and option.

The Steedas won't make the back lower than the front it will actually bring the car close to level. You may want to look into upgrading your struts and shocks also. The stock struts and shocks operate at a rate that isn't optimal with the upgraded springs. As a result your ride will suffer and you may even lose performance.

As a matter of fact, I'm ordering the Koni/Steeda ultralite combo TODAY during lunch from Strano Parts.

You gotta start somewhere (price-wise) but my vote would be Steeda. It's your car and if you're set on the K's, go with the K's. NoVa's advice on upgrading struts/shocks is sound but some go without and you can add them later if cash is tight. You may get an odd popping up front from time to time if you don't upgrade the strut mount.

I may have to wait and save a bit more to get the shocks/struts with the springs. I want to do it right.. but you know how cash can burn a hole in your pocket lol.
