Depends on the use.... We have lots of option. Almost too many to be honest.

That was fast...arrived to Iowa by Friday! Maybe a stupid question, but when changing springs and struts, what needs to be transferred over from the old set-up to the new?

Installed the Koni Orange STR.T's & set of Ford FRPP P springs. Great setup for the street & really improved the ride on mt GT.

Hey look at that... they came without paint chips all over the box and with... *gasp*... packing cushioning inside the box separating the struts. Looks like Koni finally heard customer feedback on their packaging methods lol.

I'm really excited to get these into the car Sam, thanks so much!

Sam...maybe you can help me with a recomendation for my suspension. I have an 06 gt with 20" shelby razors and 275/35/20 yokohama s drives and i would like to improve the handling and stance. I will not be racing on the track or dragstrip but i would like to improve its road manners. What would you recomend to keep the front ride height the same, lower the back about 3/4 inch and make it handle better.
This may be a tall order but i am limited on lowering the car because of the wheel offset. The fronts are even with the fender lip and the rears stick out about a 1/2 inch. Its not exactly what i wanted from the wheels but that money is invested now and i have to work with i.
Your opinions/suggestions would be very helpful
Thanks
Jake

Jake-

The best thing to do is call me. A perfect example of why, is when you say you want to improve it's road manners. Well, who doesn't? But, I find that when you get down to it folks have different opinions and wants.

A set of Steeda "boss" springs might suit you well. They are little less low than Sports, mostly level the car but give a nice increase in rate. I've started keeping some in stock so folks can get more rate with less drop.

Again the best thing is to call me so we can talk options.

he prefers to talk over the phone .. not so he can push you into purchasing, it's just easier to figure everything out that way, there's a lot of questions and concerns to address when it comes to suspension. if you're just planning it out, I'd still give him a call. I called him, knowing I'm not purchasing for a couple of months, and he filled me with all of the information I needed (and then some, even broke down some technical suspension stuff for me)
