Default Lowing/Stance-Change

Hi all,

I have a S197 that I am looking to have lowered and give it a more aggressive stance. I always thought the car sits too high with too much space between the fender-well and the top of the tire.

Has anyone tried this and are there any unforeseen consequences that might be worth noting?

Thanks!

Mark

Thanks for the heads-up, doing some homework it. Sounds like a good way to go.

Definitely worth doing your homework over to see the best options for you. I would beware of just adding a few parts as lowering the car changes the geometry and can cause other parts to wear faster. At a minimum you will probably need an adjustable panhard bar as the rear end will likely shift to one side when you lower it.

I just installed the Ford Racing handling pack on my 14 GT including shocks, struts, lowering springs, GT-500 strut mounts, front & rear sway bars, adjustable panhard bar, etc. I got it new at a great price and even after getting it re-aligned only have about $1000 in the whole setup. Drop was minimal at 1" but the look and handling qualities are like night and day.

I have a brand new panhard bar with race rod ends from Scott Drake if you need. Still in the box.
