I'm running 20's with 255/35ZR20 tires and Ford Racing "K" springs and I love the ride. Not too harsh at all. I am running non-adjustable Tokico "blue" shocks and struts.

I lowered with the FRPP kit and the ride is pretty harsh with the 20". I have ordered the new Koni STR-T Shocks which should improve the ride considerably. These shocks are non-adjustable but are equivalent to the Koni Blue set to soft.

I'll let you know how the ride is with these shocks once I have them installed, but its gonna be a couple of weeks.

Thanx again guys, appreciate the input. I am looking at the Tokicko Blue shocks right now does anyone know if these are soft shocks n struts and if they would be a good match with my eibach sportline springs?

I to plan on going with a 40 series tire or a 255/35/20 when these wear out as the 35 is pretty harsh not to mention a little more sidewall on a stang looks great imo

I was wondering what the 2010 woulod look like dropped with some wheels on it. I have to say it looks GREAT. Better than the Camaro and the Fiat errr Dodge.

NICE RIDE!

How close are your bumps to hitting on the back? you can just look through wheel and see them. When mine was first lowered, they were really close to hitting just sitting there, so i hit them all the time. You might be able to cut them some, and not have any scraping issues, but you should probably look into that before you go cutting them.
