I know this is going to probably be a stupid question......but I would like to lower the rear of my stang 1".....what would happen if I installed the Steeda lowering springs (rear only)...would the handling/ride be completly destroyed

 

Just take off your rear springs and cut exactly one coil off the top of them. That's what I did on the rear springs only, and it dropped it exactly 3/4" in the rear which leveled the car. The rear is actually about a sixteenth of an inch lower than the front now. I wouldn't lower the rear an inch... it'll ride with the front end up a bit highter and will look odd. But save the money on the springs and cut a coil off the rear springs.

 

Hotlap .. check out this thread. Some forum members cut their own springs. I followed Acadian's post and cut just the rear. Lowered appx. 3/4" rear only.
Very simple and cheap mod with pefect results .. no ill effects!

John, glad to see you did it and it worked great. Very easy and free mod.

 

Ian/John - so no ill effects with one coil removed? Any drive-a-bility issues - scraping tires rubbing etc?

thx - b

 

Bradley, no issues at all. I can't even feel in difference in the ride. It's very subtle... just about 3/4" drop. It just levels out the car so it sits just right, IMO. But when I am driving now, it feels the same as before I did it. And I did this probably 2 months ago. Absolutely no issues at all.

 

Ian - you have a PM - check it out and get back to me tonight.....pleeeeese

 

Bradley, I got your PM... sorry, ws a bit late. I got off early from work and didn't get home until 30 minutes ago. Hope it's not too late.
