And I love it!

The car sits perfect. It rides very good for a lowered vehicle. I want to say better than stock but that is my opinion. The ride is more firm but not as harsh. It absorbs bumps/rough road very well. I didn't get a chance to push it hard through any corners or get some pics because it was dark when we finished the install.

I highly recommend this setup.



Thanks Jay and the Hypermotive team for your input and great customer service. And thanks everyone on here as well. I can't wait for the sun to come out so I can really see what it's all about!

 

NICE! I knew you would. It's a great combo for anyone who DDs there 'stang and is looking for better handling, a lower stance and a good ride!

 

Anthony..thanks for your words of wisdom!

Now I'm at a crossroads. I am getting the windows tinted next week, but do I hold off on mods for a while or do I order up the catless h pipe that I've been on the fence about? If I do the catless H pipe then the next logical mod is porting/polishing intakes.

I think I'll end up holding off on performance mods for a month or two. That will give me time to run it down the drag strip and see where it's at so I have some room to improve with more mods.

It's just so hard to keep it stock.

 

Any photos of the car after the drop? Did you just get 13/14 koni strt's and reuse factory mounts?

 

No photos yet, it's been cloudy and rainy here the past couple of days. The weather should be nicer to tomorrow afternoon I can post some.

I used 05-09 struts with GT500 mounts. I thought about using 13-14 struts and re-using the mounts but I didn't want to run the risk of the mounts coming apart during the process and then having to put them back together knowing they'll make noise.

 

And here is one stock to compare...

 

Looks great!

 

Thanks! I love it.

 

Looks great. Did you get a alignment the install? Did you use camber bolts?

 

Can you see the orange color of the shocks and struts poking out at all?

 

Looks good lowered! Might be a optical illusion, but in the picture, it looks lower in the back than front.

 

How much did they lower it front and rear?

 

****! You just reminded me to get an alignment, I've been crazy busy at work. The steering wheel is straight and the car drives straight as an arrow, but there is a bit more negative camber. I will get the alignment checked this weekend, I'm assuming I'll need camber bolts.

Yes, you can see a bit of the orange on the struts when looking through the front wheels, and you can see a lot of the orange shocks and partial red springs when looking through the rear wheels. It doesn't stand out, but if you're looking closely, you'll see it. I love it.

The BMR springs are V6/GT universal and provide a 1 inch drop in front and 1.25 inch drop in rear. The drop on a GT will lower the front slightly more due to heavier engine. The pictures were taken within a few days of install, since then the springs have settled have settled and the car sits level. I also have about 100lbs of work related BS in my trunk.

1 inch in front and 1.25 inch in rear. Those are the spring specs, I haven't actually measured.
