Got a LS suspension for my Brembo GT

So someone was selling their 2013 Boss LS suspension with 6 miles on it... I couldn't resist, even though I don't know if all of the parts are usable on my 2011 GT.

It includes:

Front Springs & Shocks
Rear Springs & Struts
Front & Rear Sway Bar
2 Lower Control Arms
Panhard Rod
2 Strut mounts

I don't know if all of these parts upgraded from the 2011 suspension?

My second question is if it's safe to use aftermarket lowering springs with the BOSS LS Dampers. I wanted the car lower than the Boss springs provide, but don't want to ruin the setup or affect the longevity of the shocks/struts.

I appreciate any input!

Thanks

I don't believe the Panhard is any different, and the rear sway bar was designed for the Torsen differential, but everything else should swap over fine. You should be fine using other lowering springs too. Hopefully you got it for a good deal. If the price is right you could have a steal of a car.

I saw those posted. It was a good deal!

If it was under $1500, then it was cheaper than the FR3 adjustable package for our cars. I'd say it was worth it at that point.

I also read that a staggered setup is best with the stiffer rear sway bar on the LS?
