OR Dumb or whatever but here is the question none the less. Im looking to do so suspension and handeling stuff but dont want to lower the ride because the area i live in isnt that friendly to lowered cars. So any tips would be helpful.
thanks

I did Koni Str.t shocks/struts & Steeda Springs. Car dropped only 1 inch, haven't noticed any scraping or clearance problems. The car has a lot less body roll, and the front end doesn't dive under heavy breaking. Good combo.


I just finished a thread about the install. Saved a ton doing it myself:

i am the same way, one way is to upgrade your sway bars

Anything I should stay away from?

Hey wes. Did u put the spring and shocks and is that all you did. Or did you have to add any other parts to that setup? And if all you did was those springs and shocks how much they run you?

Noodle23

any other suggestions?

I did springs, shocks/struts & Steeda HD shock mounts. So far I love the setup. The HD mounts got rid of the clunking that used to come from the front end. I also have sway bars and strut tower brace.
Overall the car is much more controlled, very little body roll.

Contact Sam Strano, he's in the suspension forum. I got my parts from him, Springs, struts, shocks, & HD mounts all for less than a thousand.

+1 on the Steeda springs. I have their Ultralites in my car paired up with Bilstein shocks/struts. My area is not friendly to low cars either, but the moderate drop with the Steeda springs has not caused any headaches.

It's really hard to maximize handling without somewhat of a drop due to the stock suspension's F-150 like ride height.

You are def right about the F150 like ride height. Im getting sportlines within the next month.

GT take-off sWAYS ARE THE BEST NON LOWERING HANDLING UPGRADE.
