Will 14 inch coil over springs still lower my GT? The rate is 325lbs if that helps

[DSG04GT]

anyone lol? They are the front coil over springs.

I have 14 inch springs on my GT with a Kmember. They will go pretty damn low. Mine are 175s, but here are some pics to show how low they can go. Its about 3/4 the way up the sleeve.




and this was when they were just under half the way down




You have alot of adjustibility. I dont know with that high of a spring rate, if it will drop it as much, but you should still be able to slam it.

[DSG04GT]

Haha. you're the one that inspired me to go coil over Trevor. Reason why I got the 14s is because I saw your suspension list. I went with a high rate because my car is gonna be used more for the street rather than drag.

Yea. I want about a 1.5 inch drop. Nothing too severe, so that's good news if yours is dropped that low. You pretty much answered my question with visual confirmation lol

BTW, you gonna get a pair of those trick flow heads? It'll be interesting to see you hit 11s with an NA GT. That Silver is sick!

what shock/strut are you using? i am looking into coild overs on mine, but i am told only a bilstein can hold that high of a sping rate.

Those I'm buying next. Probably Koni yellows. They seem pretty good. Not sure if the UPR coil over conversion kit can fit the Bilsteins. if they can, I'll be getting those instead of the Koni yellows.

i am having rubbing issue on my drivers side inner fender, that is the only reason i am looking into going tubular a-arms/coil over. i have a qa1 k-member now with 03/04 cobra a-arms, i am hoping the new set up will get rid of that.

I've got the QA1 k and the matching set of A-arms to go along with it. Nothing is installed just yet though. Waiting till I get all of the parts arranged first. Just ordered a UPR bumpsteer kit today. Still gotta get the shocks and struts, rear springs, and caster camber plates.

I heard that the bump steer kit can solve that rubbing issue. Best to get one to along with that coil over setup. Makes alignment a whole lot easier so they say.

that also reminds me that my cc plates arent enough to get the alingnment right as well.

Yea. The ideal I think is CC plates and Bumpsteer kit to get the best alignment. I also heard something about the Steeda X2 Ball joint kit as being useful for that application.

I was running 350# springs on my front CO's prior to going SLA. I wouldn't consider these a heavy spring for the '99~'04 GT Stang on the street. The ride quality was VERY near the stock Saleen set-up that was removed for the GR-40. I am not sure about the length, but 14" seems about right from what I recall.

My current SLA springs are probably around 300#~325# as they are just a bit softer than the CO's.

HTH

Trevor, I would think you would be bottoming-out all over the place runnin' 175#ers.

[Straits15204]

thats a sharp car by the way, how much did it cost to get the side skirts painted, did you get the decklid refinished after you removed the spoiler? no intent to thread jack, PM me if you want.
