Bought Springs today
After so much surfing and Q&A's and phone calls I finally purchased lowering springs for my GT. I decided on the Ford Motorsport K-spec springs. They drop the front and rear equally 1.5 inches and are progressive with load rates comparable to the Steeda Sports. I like the higher rear and wanted to keep that feature. Stang Suspension says I shouldn't need new shocks and struts with the progressive rates. May need camber plates but won't know until... I did really want red springs but can't have it all I guess. I'll post some pics when I get it all together next week. OH....also ordered Ford Racing hood pins, I'm a little scared of this install but gonna bite the bullet on it.

You definitely need to post some pictures after the install I have not seen any Ford Motorsport springs installed yet.
It seems every seller says you don't need new shocks and struts. I think over time you will realize you will need them I did. I think if they tell people about the ride being stiff a lot of people will steer away from lowering springs.

Sorry if I came off as being harsh. I just get frustrated (like Hawgman) at the number of times we keep seeing posts like "Will it void my warranty if I do X?". I like to help people and will try to be more kind in the future.

RE: Bought Springs today
i'm pretty sure the springs are nice and tucked away... i'm getting new ones and after they make the prototype and put it on my car, they are making the official powder coated (baby blue of all freakin colors) and i'll get those so mine wont rust off. But i'm pretty srue they're good and tucked away so you cant see the color much. If you wanted the red accent in your wheels (as i do) paint your calipers red and put osme decals on it... http://xenonmods.com/
