I have Steeda Sport Springs (1"); will the below work together on my 2011 GT Convertible? Should I add anything (e.g., adjustable banhard bar)? Is there a way to mitigate the rigidity issues associated with convertibles (i.e., add a light bar or roll bar)? I plan to use Koni Yellows w/Ford upper strut mounts. Additionally, I plan to put wheels - Super Snakes - on w/Nitto 3-season rubber. Thoughts/advice?

I'm not devoted to Steeda, or any other company, just used their site to compile a list. I do like the springs but want the car to handle like a race car. Money is no object until my wife gets the bill

 

I would suggest contacting Sam Strano at Strano Performance Parts if you want a car with race car handling. Best to call him and to wait until the 6th to call due to the SCCA schedule.

 

So, you want the car to handle like a race car? I love it! Steeda and Griggs make some nice stuff. However, for less money I would recommend the H&R race springs and Koni dampers for starters. Steeda camber plates come next, followed by an adjustable panhard bar OR watts link.

Feel free to contact me for any other information.

 

I agree with SamsBlueGT's answer to your question. I had a longer list than yours, by quite a bit, and Sam's feedback was to start with a few key elements like the Koni's and then work from there to solve individual handling problems. I'm very pleased with the results, and I use my coupe for road-race track days, so I'm pretty demanding.

 

I had the H&R Super Sport springs on my 97 Cobra and I loved them, it was a daily driver and autocross car. They were progressive so there was just enough complaiance to not jar your teeth loose every day, but still there when you needed them. I second talking to Sam and and then actually buying stuff from him. he helped me get my car ready for this season in F-Stock and I am very happy with it.
