I used FRPP K springs. They claim 1.5" drop all the way around.

Looks fantastic! Having any problems with scraping anywhere? I really want to go with the K-springs.

No scraping. Not at all, even over speed bumps!

oh yeah, lowering springs. Good idea.I have the FRPP K springs as well as the FRPP shocks/struts, just need to install the BMR adjustable panhard bar, anyone get the panhard brace as well? It's only 109 bucks or so, might as well get it

what is this for? Im noticing after lowering my gt a few weeks ago my exhaust its bumping and tapping on this. Its geting annoying, I placed a few washers under the two bolts on the driver side, helps a little but still tapping over large bumps. Is this what this is for??

from the BMR website:
"Since the panhard rod is responsible for keeping the rear end centered in the chassis, their is a significant load placed on the panhard rod mounts during cornering. Due to this load, Ford reinforced the mount with a vertical brace that parallels the panhard rod. Unfortunately this brace is little more than stamped, light gauge metal and does little for reinforcement. Our boxed tube support reinforces this critical mount to prevent deflection and can be easily installed in less than 1 hour. Available standard in your color choice of red or black powdercoat, additional colors also available by special order."
