I have a feeling the sport springs won't be low enough for me. If I could see ultralites on gt's preferably convertibles that'd be awesome. Also tell me how much it changed your ride. I heard sports aren't too far away from stock ride but the compression (and less distance to travel) affects the ultralites more. Let me know! Thanks

I'm not a convertible but I'm lowered with Eibach Sportlines I lost 1.7front and 2.2 in back

And your car absolutely amazing, Zak. I just had to tell you again.-----Bill

Ultralites on mine (not a 4.6L, but it has a blower and intercooler setup up front, so weight over the front is more or less the same):

06blackvertstang

Thanks for the pics guys. I really want that sportline look but not the ride. I don't know what to do

Torch_Vert

Honestly, I think the ultralites are a pretty good trade off between appearence and ride quality. With suspension mods, everything is usually a compromise.

06blackvertstang

True. I was going to do sports and konis eventually... But I love the slammed look

Zaksgt

Lol thanks again, I'm glade my hard work
Is paying off, your car is still my favorite on here!

Zaksgt

I'm also running the Koni yellow struts and shocks and eibach front an rear sway bars and the ride is not that bad, yes it is stiffer but you get used to it, wouldn't have it any other way, if u live in the DFW area I'll give u a ride to see if u like it

I'll be down to six flags in a few weekends! I'm in okc so it's not a terrible drive. Are you comin to the mustang nationals in mustang at the end of August?

Zaksgt

I haven't heard of it, were is it at?

06blackvertstang

Mustang, ok. Appropriate right?? Haha

Zaksgt

Haha I'm not all here today I'll have to look into it,

06blackvertstang

Yeah! Are you anywhere near six flags though for when I come down?

Zaksgt

Sorta six flags is in Arlington I'm in fort worth, only about 15 min away

06blackvertstang

Cool! Well I could meet you somewhere or something. I'd at least like to see your car and meet a tms guy.

Zaksgt

Just message me when u come down

Here is my car with Steeda Ultra-lite springs.





I run these with Tokico D-Spec shocks and struts. The ride is much better then stock and it handles very well.

That's the exact setup I was thinking about. Those dspecs are adjustable right?

If you want more of a drop, take a look at our extreme sport springs. They will provide an approximate 1.75" (F) and 2" (R) drop.

You should also buy the balljoints and bumpsteer kit with that much of a drop though, and we also recommend an adjustable upper control arm (to correct pinion angle) and an adjustable panhard bar.

Suspension modifications are a compromise, and especially with lowering the more you go the more parts you need and the more you are going to be sacrificing ride quality.

Maybe a better idea would be to drop it with our Utralite springs and then use a higher profile tire/larger wheels to reduce the wheel gap further if you are still not completely satisfied? (would obviously cost much more, but if you're wanting to upgrade wheels and it gets you the look you are wanting, it may be worth considering )
