I Have them on my Car with a set of Koni STR.T shock & struts .I like this set-up better than my steeda sport springs i ran on my car for a about year. Using the stock Brembo front springs with the 55D spring in the back keeps the the steering the same as stock .The steeda spring will make car under steer more compair to the stock springs and will needs a sway bar change to get it to work the same as stock. The 55D spring fells like it dose a better job at taking big bump at high speed to me . The car looks better with the steeda spring sport than the 55D spring but i like the way the 55D spring works over all on the car better.

As a side note we now have several SN10s Mustangs (v6, 4.6 & 5.0) that are not Brembo stangs, that are now using our the 55D Spring Kit as well.
Their response has been the same... gets rid of the terrible 4x4 rear gap look, while keeping the ride nice and tight.
Sure there are other LOWERING spring kits out there to make the car look sexy, but that's not always the smart choice. Sometime, it opens up pandora's box of needing to spend more money for new camber/caster plates, adjustable panhard bar, needing a realignment , and in most cases, depending on which spring kit you buy, new shocks to dampen the sky high spring rates that your butt will feel.
The 55D Spring Kit offers a solution to those who want to improve the look of their car without all the added cost and loss of comfort on everyday roads. It's a simple and effective overall choice that works!

Hi jasongt06. Thanks for the pic. Would you happen to have an close up before and after pics? Also, any installation issues? How is the ride, and different? My goal is to "level" the rear to be more in line with the front without really changing the stock ride too much.

If you think about it -- a spring with a lower drop would change the weight distribution, making additional changes required. So his formula was to go as low as possible without requiring additional component changes.
I have Eibach sport lines on my fox body, but I knew I would need to change shocks, bushings and control arms and camber/caster plates to make it all work right. So the spring were inexpensive, but the added parts to bring the car to working spec cost much more than the springs themselves.
he wasnt trying to sell me... but the logic was undeniable.
here is a rear facing shot of his car -- I met him at the Fabulous Ford Forever Meet in Calif.
