What is required to run a set of lowering springs for a 05-10 model on a 13 model?

Thanks

The springs are the same. The strut mounts are different and have to match the style strut you are using. Depending on how much you are lowering you may need camber plates.

Cavero

Don't forget the adjustable panhard rod to recenter the rear axle (not always required)

Edit: Er... I'm guilty of not reading the OP close enough while I was on my phone. So yeah... it's like everyone else says. They changed the strut mounts in '11 IIRC. I learned that when I upgraded from Steeda HD upper strut mounts to Maximum Motorsports caster/camber plates and they accidentally sent me the '11+ ones. I can't remember what they changed about the struts for the GT in '11, they apparently left the GT500 mounts the same because the '05-'10 ones are for all S197 GT500's too.

If you're going w/ aftermarket lowering springs, you may want to consider getting HD strut mounts or camber/caster plates. The factory plastic strut mounts are notoriously weak and'll start popping when you go over bumps.


Out of curiosity -- why specifically '05-'10 springs?

If you don't want to upgrade your shocks and struts just buy the 11-13 springs. If you are planning on doing the shocks and struts and want to use the 05-10 you either need camber plates or the GT500 mounts as well.

Although I know the SR springs are 05-14 and will work with the stock struts and mounts. That's what I have on my car. But don't buy those prints. Not the best. Spend a little more for the eibachs
