2014 track pack lowering springs!
Iam trying to find the best ridding lowering springs for my car.
2014 mustang gt 300a, with track pack and recaro seats!
I'm looking for about a 1" lowering spring that has as close to the stock ride as the track pack springs? I was looking at the Steeda Sport Springs. I like the 1" front 1 1/4" drop!
I also plan on doing an adjustable panhard bar!
So many choices out there, please send some advice!
My car will be a daily driver with about 6 track days a year!

The Steeda Sport Springs are top notch and you're spot on with the adjustable panhard bar which will help correct suspension geometry - would also consider a bumpsteer kit and caster/camber plates from Steeda as well.

With a 1" drop a bumpsteer kit is not a top priority - maybe down the road if you swap other suspension components.
Caster/camber plates may be needed if you can't get the front end aligned within OEM spec (you should always do a front end alignment after lowering). Also, it'll give you the ability to do some small adjustments for those track days as well.

The Steeda Sport is a good choice. The Steeda HD struts are camber adj and would be a good addition. Though with the one inch drop you may find that you don't need to adjust camber and will be within the wide Ford specs range. Ask Steeda before you buy the HD mount. Also a great idea to pick up the phone and call Sam Strano at stranoparts with your questions. I would spend the extra 400 bucks or so for Koni SR.T dampers while you are at it. The annual Koni sale is about to start or has started for 15% extra off. The stock dampers are not good and the firmer springs will ask a lot of them.
My advise..Skip the APB and just get springs and dampers (and maybe Steeda HD mounts. You don't need bump steer correction nor do you need to touch the stock bump stops.

I agree with Tod^^^^
If your doing springs then you should do shocks/struts as well. The stock dampers aren't very good even with the factory spring rates. Add a stiffer spring and less travel and they will be taxed heavily. You already have to remove the front strut assembly to swap springs, why do it twice ? This and never underestimate what a set of quality performance dampers can do for these cars.
As far as a panhard bar I would get one. My Brembo GT has a 1/4" left side bias at stock ride height and lowering the car will only make it worse.

You may not need an adjustable panhard bar. Wait till the suspension is installed then check the axle centering. You may find the axle centering ends up fine.
