Has anyone installed Roush Mustang extreme lowering springs on their 2010 ? I would be interested in hearing opinions about them or other springs that drop the front 1"and the rear 1.25".
I do feel the 10 needs to be lowered but I would like to do it comfortably without the need for an additional shock package. This is a daily driver and will never see any track time.

 

Im on the hunt for some nice springs as well. I dont want a reversed rake which some springs will give you. I agree the 2010 does need to drop a tad but not much though.

 

The lower you go, typically the higher the spring rate will go which will increase the need for shocks/struts.
The regular Roush springs are designed to work with the stock dampers and a bit less of a drop (and probably what Branman is looking for), but the extremes are meant to go lower.

To really get a "factory soft" but lowered ride, I really would look at a street coilover. It is harder to make it low and soft since suspension travel is reduced (necessitating a higher spring rate to keep off the bump-stops). Many coilovers will have shorter shock/strut bodies or other features to keep the travel pretty much the same, which usually means they can run softer springs, which usually equates to softer ride. Plus, the better (and matched) dampers control the springs a bit better, making for a bit smoother ride.

Now, if you don't run it very hard, and don't have sticky tires, you could probably get away with the Roush extreme springs and keep the stock dampers for awhile (maybe a long while) and then upgrade the shocks later if you wish (or need to). However, I personally have not done that.

 

I put FRPP Springs on my GT500 1.25 inch drop front and back.

 

Did you have to make any other mods to the suspension? How's the ride? Looks great BTW!

 

Here are some pics of my Eibach sportline lowered suspension, currently the lowest drop of all kits....

I went with the FRPP M-5300-K springs...

Just an adjustable panhard rod and alignment. It rides no different then stock. Love it!

 

looks bad ***! what is the part number of your springs?

 

i got sportlines on my 08 and i love them..... you car is sittin so low and nice...... hot car man, hot car

 

GREAT stance

 

Installed just the rear roush muustang extreme lowering springs,waiting for assistance fron a friend to do the fronts. Levelled the car and firmed up the ride ,still very acceptable ride.The first pic is after and the other is before.

 

Looks great! Any alignment issues to worry about after you do the fronts?

 

M-5300-L

They say they are for 07-09 but they work for the 2010 GT500. I don't think they'll work on a GT though.

 

The GT uses the M-5300-K which is the 1.5" lowering springs. In addition they have a new spring kit that lowers 1.0"....

 

oh i forgot to mention that i also have the Eibach front and rear sway bars with the kit and i added QA1 12 way adjustable shocks to the rear, not only is the car fast it really feels fast with this setup.

 

Got the whole Roush Mustang extreme lowering kit installed now. It is made to work with the stock dampers and really does a great job. The stance is better, the ride is firmer but still very comfortable, and the car handles much better . There were no alignment issues front or rear. I'd rate them as 3 stars out of 3 !

 

looks awesome

 

The more I drive it the more I like it ! When I did Steeda Ultra Lites on my 05 the look was great but the ride was harsh.I don't think I have lost any of Ford's improvements with the Roush springs.

 

anymore pics?
