New Boss 302 Spring Option From Steeda!
I have a Boss but I'm still not sure if it will be worth swapping out the Steeda Sport springs I have already. What will the difference be height wise and performance wise when compared to the Sport springs?
Reduced body roll, less pitch under braking, better weight distribution without affecting the front roll center and near factory like ride quality with the Boss original shocks and struts.

I'm tempted as well. I like the Steeda Sport springs I have right now so I'm wondering if its worth doing another swap. I have a track day next weekend so I wouldnt mind doing one track day with the sports and the next one with these for comparison.
I probably wont notice the 1/2" in ride height so thats not an issue. I just didnt want the rake look so I opted for the Sports.

Mine arrived in the mail yesterday. Stupid FedEx, I parked my a$$ on the couch as soon as I got home, FedEx came and pasted a sticker on my door without knocking...
Anyways, hope to install them in the next few days, then I'll try to snap a few comparison pics with Mustangfreak's stock BOSS, for those interested in the visuals.

Initial impressions are a lot better than I expected. I can't believe how much flatter the LS corners now and nose dive during hard braking is considerably reduced.
Gus, please let everyone involved with development know they did a tremendous job!

How's the ride compared to stock?
I left the struts/shocks on "5" like I always do. The ride was very stiff but well within the limits of control. I mean that I could feel every grove and rock in the road, but the wheels never left the pavement - solid feel with solid traction. I can't wait to take it to the track.
I won't be putting these on my daily driven Boss even though I could adjust the setting lower.

Having ridden in a 302S around VIR, would say almost half way there - so just under 2.5. Remember, the LS struts and shocks are a tad stiffer than the "street" Boss (I keep both Boss's dialed up at 5 all the time).
No, not at all. I would recommend these springs for that kind of car.

I forgot to say that I didn't experience any loss of the Boss's neutral handling. It's seems even a little bit more enhanced.
