Can't do steeda so what now?

Hey fellow V6 owners I have a delimea and need your help. I'm trying to get my suspension set-up before winter hits and I have to put my lady away. The problem is I've been going back and fourth trying to see if Steeda springs will work even tho they are not recommending them for V6 owners because they don't give the advertised drop. Well I figured that it would get close to it but to make a long story short it would make the rear sit lower than the front with any of there springs. So I'm wondering if anyone knows of a spring that will give 1" front & 1.5 rear drop for a V6? I haven't found any. Eibach is close but I had there pro-kit on my '12 and it wasn't low enough and the sportlines are to low. Steeda is in the process of making a new spring specific to the V6 but I'm to impatient, lol.

I want to hit a couple track days before winter but if I don't get springs I probably won't. Not to mention I'm impatient and not willing to wait unless I have no other choice.

I believe H&R Race springs might work, also the lower Ford Racing springs (forget the letter) might work....

Vogtland has a .8/1.2 drop and a 1.2/1.2 drop for the V6 http://www.hotpart.com/2005-2011-for...t-your-option/
This is the .8/1.2 on my 2010 V6

Thanks but H&R race springs lower to mich in the front and none of the Ford racing springs work with what I'm trying to achieve.

This is the .8/1.2 on my 2010 V6
Not bad but the eibachs I had on my '12 had the same drop and I wasn't completely happy with the drop. I'm looking into BMR. It seems like they make a spring that will get me close. Thanks for the inputs guys!!

Sandbags in the trunk on prokits FTW. Seriously though, I think it's difficult to find something inbetween the Sportlines and prokit.

Sounds like you're pretty picky, if so I would just wait to get exactly what you want. It doesn't sound like you're going to be happy with anything besides the Steeda to me.

That being said, you have to realize that these drops are going to change over time. My last car had progressive rate springs, and after 20k-ish miles the springs settled another 0.2-0.4in. lower. I would check with people and see if their springs did the same before deciding on a drop.

No not picky just looking to see if I could find a spring set wth that drop. I decided to go with Eibach sportlines afterall. I think they will work great for me coupled with Steeda pro-action shocks, panhard bar and HD strut mount. Doesn't matter much tho because I'm out of the country for work and won't be back for at least month :/ so I won't be able to drive her for awhile. Thanks for the inputs guys.
