I regret going that low!

I just got Ford Racing Kw springs and its 1.6" drop but heres a stance pic with them installed. I hope to get them done soon. I just need to figure out all nut and bolt torque specs.

The FK Hitec Cup Kit: 35-40mm drop, just under 1.6"

mmmm i like, i like.....looks like im gonna put it on the order

so what do you guys think about SVT struts/shocks with KW springs 1.6" set up?

im getting some kind of a deal on it off FF.com

i need lower my 4x4 already

Well I have been asking a lot of people and 1.6 inch drop with stock struts will suffice. It will be even better if you have SVT struts.

A 1 1/2" drop....



With 4 stock rims/tires in the trunk.

KW springs is fine but I say get something else other then SVT dampers. Get eibach or KYB afx. I used SVT struts/shocks b4 so I know they ain't prefect for more then 1.5 drop.

Well, I didn't have a 1.6" drop...I had 1.25" Front, and 1.75" rear...that was with the SHM/Multimatic suspension kit...also had 215/45 17's on SVT rims with that drop....NO RUBBING!

Take a look:



Maybe that's the ride height you are looking for? I'm going to get the FR500/SHM/Multimatic kit for the Mustang now...giddyup...

y not svt dumpers? i heard they are pretty good on hadeling the drop....
any other opinions?

I had brand new SVT damper with progress spring when I changed my ZX5 from zts. They bottom out and gone in nine months. Progress springs are shorter then KW but still...svt dampers may not last you a long time.

If you're replacing the struts anyway, try and get something matched for the drop you're doing. The SVT suspension is only about .5" lower than ZX3 suspension, so the struts aren't going to be optimal for going lower than that.

You can get by with stock struts, but they will die sooner or later and you'll wish you had installed a matched set in the first place. I have the FK 35mm springs on stock struts going on about 2 years now and my struts need replacing. It wasn't bad at first but it's pretty bouncy now..

he made it and he was actually selling it a while ago....i was gonna give him a trade...cuz he needed a stock hood....but i decided not to go that way......ask him maybe he's still got it....

i think i have his msn as well

here are two pics of a 2" drop on an 05

as soon as i got my car way back in 2000..
eibach sportline 2.0" drop



and with h&r coilover, so i can't be sure that this is 1.6" drop but i raised it almost all the way up..so it should be around 1.5".

that was my mistake....not going with the 2" drop
