but just for the rear? I think the rear is alittle to high compared to the front, and i just wanted to lower the back. Is there any place that sells the springs seperatly that you guys no of? Or maybe a way that i can just oreder rear springs only?? thankx!

Not that I know of.Might as well get all four because they are pretty inexpensive anyways.If you don't use the fronts just put 'em up on ebay and they'll sell

Sorry then... Can't help you... I have a pair of rear lowering springs for a V6 I was going to use on a 2005 I purchased, but I sold the car before I ever put them on... I purchased them from a company called Canuck Motorsports... Maybe they make them for the GT... However, in my opinion, I wouldn't lower just the rear... After talking with several sources, it is best to replace all four so the spring rate will be the same on all four wheel locations.... I'm very pleased with the STEEDA springs I installed... Lowered my car 7/8" in the front and 1.25" in the rear... Car looks nice and level and handles well....

STEEDA was one of the sources that didn't recommend replacing just ther rear springs because the variances in spring rates from the factory stock springs....

Be a dude man, go for it.















Roush sells just the rear springs. http://www.roushparts.com/ I have had no problem with my cut springs except it bottoms out in the rear even on small pebbles and tiny rocks. But hey it was cheap.

I feel the same way with the looks of the rear/front and wanted to try just doing the rears 1st.
I just purchased these today. They say 1 inch in the rear.

I ordered the Roush springs, the front and rear were sold separately, and I got them thru my dealer's parts dept for the same as online price.

I am having them installed today. I actually thought the rear drop was more than 1", but it will work out good. I've been eyeing those 18x9/10 chrome bullets from Mustang Tuning and the tires peep were using with them are rather tall. Wheel see! =)

You can order just the rear steeda springs. I e-mailed them and they said that they sell the rear springs individually for 59.95 each. I've heard of other members using just the rear steeda springs with no problem. I'm going to lower just the rear of my car, but I’m undecided on which springs to get.

wow- I am amazed at the change in handling/feel of the car- it feels so solid compared to stock!!

It looks good too, of course, and I was mainly after the look, but the handling improvement is awesome. I highly recommend the Roush springs

I'll do pics as soon as I can- we are actually having a sudden snow storm here, bizzarre as the temp was near 60 earlier today :scratch:
