SR springs - anyone using on GT w/track pack? Also, on sale $99/set 11/12/13
Just cruising around americanmuscle and noticed the SR springs (set of 4) on sale for $99. I had been planning to do p-springs, but for this price, I'll give these a shot I think
Anyone else with a Track Pack GT try these? I do plan to upgrade to adjustable struts/shocks, but interested to know what the actual drop is and if anyone with track pack struts/shocks have used just the springs?
Thanks

There's a ton of members on this forum running the SR springs with the stock struts/shocks actually. Hopefully some will chime in with their experience shortly.
You'll find the SR springs work nicely with the stock dampeners. With a complete drop of 1.5" around and progressive rate springs, they're one of the smoothest riding lowering springs with stock dampeners that I've experienced.
I do recommend using an adj panhard bar to recenter the rear axle under the body after the drop, though. When lowering an 05+ Mustang this much, an adj panhard bar is very necessary. Secondly, it's wise to use adj LCA's and UCA to regain the factory suspension geometry. The adj UCA is less "required" than adj LCA's, but it's best to use both.
There's a lot of factors when modifying any suspension properly. If you have more questions, feel free to ask. I'm here to help!

Shane thanks for the input. Money saved on springs goes to adjustable panhard bar. Other supporting suspension upgrades are in the plans too. Plan to track the car so adjustable struts/shocks are coming this summer probably, but will get a couple thousand miles with new springs and stock struts

Wow shortest sale I've seen in a while!! Back up to $180 already!! For once I got lucky with timing and got them at the low price!
I will get these installed in January most likely and I'm sure I will provide a write up initially and again once the warmer weather rolls around and I get the car out with sticky tires again

The SR spring do work well with the stock dampeners, but you're gonna love a new set of struts/shocks. They really help improve the handling!

Something tells me you may want to hold out a few weeks until Black Friday or Cyber Monday, before ordering new springs though...hint hint, cough cough. lol

Good stuff! The panhard bar is not something to skip over. Glad you've decided to invest in one.

Sorry about the quick sale! The SR springs weren't actually supposed to be on sale the other day. There was a glitch in our system that we corrected.

1.5 is the advertised drop but the photo is right after install so the springs haven't had a chance to settle yet. Its dropped a little over 1" all around so far. I will get better pics and a review up soon.

Please post a couple better lit pictures if you get a chance. Just over 1" drop is what I am going for. With my 18" track wheels I have a massive gap now. Have been happy with my suspension overall so far but the amount of dive under hard braking is a bit ridiculous and it will be very nice to get adjustable dampers in a bit to better interact wh head springs.

Looks good and now I feel better about the 1.5" drop. Was going to go with 1-1.25" but now with a 35 sidewall my fender gaps look huge.

OP, see if you can get the spring rates, and see if it's alright with AM to post them. It would be interesting to see if these are as good or better then the K springs rates.

I replaced them with Koni STR.t shocks & struts along with the GT500 strut mounts. Night and day difference.
Launched with better times and diminished the dip and dive.
The mounts brought the front down a little more and she is sitting good now.
It was sitting almost level with just the springs, the GT500 mounts made a difference in ride, noise, and stance, I recommend them.
I also have more suspension parts listed in my sig.
Here is shot of the ride height compared to the '14 5.0L trackpack
