And a side view...yeah, I need some tire shine. This is right after I got the wheels installed.
Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it! What size tires did you go with front and rear? I was really wanting to go with a square setup but I'm really liking the AMRs more and more. I'm afraid to go with 10" wide up front and yours looks great too so I might have to go staggered.

Also stock I'm at 28.5" front and 29.25" rear so it looks like P springs are about a half inch drop all around. Of course now that I say that, your tire size may have effected that too.

No problem. I'm running 245/45/19 front, 275/40/19 rear. I had to go thicker because I DD this car all year in all weather. (Pot holes) Down the road I'll put summer on with a lower profile and get some snow tires for my stock wheels. These springs are about 3 weeks old, so they will probably settle more. I was ok with the k springs when I first got them. A year later, not so much.

A few questions: What exactly are "P" and "K" springs? Are these Ford Racing Product springs? And for those who dropped 1" or more, did you also change the panhard bar?

Thanks, Jim

Yes, the P/K is the last letter in the part number for Ford Racing springs.

For example, my girlfriend's car has Ford "L" springs in the rear, the full part number being M-5300-L

And yes, an adjustable panhard bar is highly recommended when lowering, to center the rear axle
