Installed my Steeda Springs today

Installed my Steeda springs today. These springs are made for the V6 and not a one size fits all. Over 80 degrees of warm weather and everything went smooth. Took it for a test drive to check for strange sounds, nice and quiet. I turned the arrows on my GT500 strut mounts pointing toward the engine. My Mustang tracks nice and straight. [IMG][IMG]

How do you like the ride and the stiffness of the springs?

Thank you for your feedback & review of the Steeda springs ... your support is truly appreciated!

5 Montster ... you will be very happy with the ride quality ... but I will let David provide his feedback.

Best Regards,

TJ

wow, you have a Watts link? How much did it improve the handling? Have you ever ran your car on the drag strip?

I bought these made for the v6 http://www.steeda.com/steeda-sport-v...ings-555-8207/. I didn't measure before and after, front is 1 inch and the rear was 1 1/4 drop.

They feel almost like the factory springs, as far as stiffness goes, but lower

Looks good - you're using OEM struts I assume? Hope you enjoy the ride. Get that car out to a track and take advantage of the handling!!!

Nope, i have the orange Koni's. Might be raining soon

. I have several nice curvy roads near me. I'm going to see how the handling has improved in the next day or two

Just came back from a drive. Not going to rain until tomorrow. The ride is more firm but not harsh. No bouncing over bad roads at all. I'm very happy with these springs

Here is a picture of the factory and Steeda front spring. Did anyone else notice 'better traction' from a dead stop after lowering? I 'think' i have better traction from a dead stop.

I noticed that AND a lot less wheel hop. About 90% less wheel hop.
