New suspension

I just recently had new springs, LCA's and adj. panhard bar installed on my 06 GT. I went with a company called Progress. They have been around for awhile but I have not seen any one on either of the two forums that I visit talk about them. The ride that they provide is almost a smooth as stock and that is with the stock shocks on, since my D-Specs are still on backorder. If anyone is going to be lowering their Stang, check these guys out. It is a little more aggressive than the Steeda springs with nearly a 2" drop in the rear but it is still not too low to get up and down driveways. I have all of my work done by XMP, who helped put together the 2005 Falken drift car.

Sounds good, do you have pictures of your lowered car that you can share?

Great looking drop, Josh!

If you end up with a CDC chin spoiler, be careful of that speed bump in your first pic!

The CDC classic Chin spoiler is the same height as stock. it is just flared to appear lower but in actuality it is the same height as stock bumper

Not entirely sure about that...

It is a tad lower, especially in the center. Also, pushes the approach angle forward in relation to the front wheels. So when approaching driveways where you barely cleared before with the stock front end, you may scrape with the chin spoiler.

I know... I have a few tiny scratch marks under my CDC spoiler to prove my theory!

I agree... the lowest point on the chin spoiler is 1" lower than the lowest point on the stock fascia.

Yea, I would be worried about the chin spoiler. I already have to crawl over the speed bumps here. They are mountains. Some are literally 6" high. Thanks for all of the compliments. I am very happy with this kit. I was expecting my ride quality to go out the window, but it rides great with the stock shocks. I can only imagine how nice it will ride with the Tokico D-Specs that I have on order.
