Lowering?
So I've already posted a thread about an exhaust system and got good feedback so I'm hoping I get more with this one. I want to lower my 2013 GT. I just don't know how much I need to go to make the gap between the wheel and fender go away. Is it going to be 1" front/1.5" rear or 1.5" all around? Plus good quality companies would be great. Thanks in advance!

I went with the frpp k Springs 1.5 all the way around, didnt change out shocks and struts. it rides ok and looks great. I got mine from american muscle. They are great to deal with, awesome prices and fast shipping.

I did Ford K's because is a 1.5 drop all around, so it still leaves the rear end a little higher in the back. I've heard that the Pro-Kit drops and levels the car out more than the Ford K's, that's why I didn't go with them.

I did sportlines on mine - that's like a 1.2-1.5 front 2.0 rear drop, and there is still *some* gap, but it looks nice and clean.. about as low as a coilover setup nearly : )
I paired it up with the eibach struts/shocks and did maximum motorsports caster/camber plates to tune in the front camber and have tougher front strut mounts, and a bmr on-car adjustable panhard bar to recenter the rear axle.
keep in mind, if you go this low, you pretty much need the extra bits I ordered.

Steeda has some great springs including the Steeda Sport Springs. Here is a video that shows you what are springs are all about and what improvements you can expect from them.
Check out our facebook page for consumer's photos of their lowered Mustangs.

FRPP K Springs
FRPP Dampers and Shocks
FRPP Jounce kit
SVT Strut Mounts
couldn't be happier with the setup, but my advice with the 11+ cars is definitely get the upgraded strut mounts. The OEM ones are pretty small and won't give you enough stability when lowering with the K springs
