I have been doing quite a bit of rooting around for answers or tips on what struts/shocks to go with lowering springs and haven't found any answers that I'd like to make sure I'd be performing the job correctly. I have a 2001 GT and, for monetary sake, have decided that soon I'm going to acquire some SR Lowering Springs from American Muscle. My question is, what kind of shocks should I be looking for? I found some Gabriel Ultras from my local auto parts store for about $160 all 4. (2 struts/2 shocks) But since these are basically OE replacements, will they support the 1.5" drop from the SR springs? Or will these be bottoming out like mad all over the place? (My Mustang is my daily.)
I was trying to find info on, say compression ration, or stance height supported, or something to clue me in on how to root out the good choices from the bad, (as you can see, slightly new to all this) but to no avail. So I have turned to your guys' expertise.

 

Hi, look at the official suspension guide. Written by Jazzer the Cat ,good info give you a good starting point.

 

Wow, that was exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you.

 

The SR Performance springs are awesome and definitely one of our most popular lowering springs. Since they have a great Spring rate I would imagine they would go fine with that Strut/Shock set up you listed. However, I have no experience with that particular item so I can't speak for them.

However, if you're looking for an awesome suspension set up I would look into a Koni, Billstein or Tokico Strut/Shock set up!

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions or need some assistance, we'd be happy to further assist you!
