Yes, yes, I knew that going lower... Just wanted to voice a statement to those who are curious. :thumb:

Edit: I just realized this was a 2011 thread... -___-' But... Eh, same chassis?

I'm following this thread closely as suspension mods are next on my list.I go back and forth daily on weather or not I want to lower my car.

I dont care about the 4x4 look as much as the ride quality or lack of.

I was in the same boat as you. I asked around and these where my main criteria:

1. Lower the car of course.
2. MUST NOT RIDE HARSHLY!
3. Improve the squat (hard launches) and improve the nose dive (hard braking). 90% of those I talked too said to get the Steeda Ultralights. They were correct too!

I am so impressed with these springs that Steeda now has a customer for life. I've tried other springs on other cars, and Steeda was more expensive for those cars so I never went with them. But now I wish I would have. Could have save me a lot of trouble.

I need to take new pictures. That was right after I rolled it out of the garage. It has now settled and is lower than that last pic shows.

I have the BMR lowering springs in my 2011, rides just as good as stock. Went from sportlines to the BMR's and I love the BMR's. Plus they work good at the track.

What model number are you guys with '11s? From what I've seen the 2010 (35101.140) and 2011 (35125.140) model years have different part numbers for the Pro-Kit.

Some are saying the '10 are a lower drop and ride better, while other's say that you have to run the '11.

I've got the 35125.140's (marked for the 2011) sitting in my garage right now, but wondering if maybe I should have ordered the 35101.140 version instead...

For some reason, people are failing to see the pattern with our S197 springs.

They truly do, as you stated....have the best ride of ANY lowering spring.

And they also work all around, not just cornering. Thanks for continuing to compliment our springs, I truly appreciate it.

Whenever you need anymore suspension parts, let me know. I'll take care of you.

Please do...I'm going back and forth between the FRPP "P" springs and the Steeda Ultralites.

Have you considered the K springs instead? The thing with a 1" drop is, it doesn't look lowered unless you know how high the stang was stock. Ford cars have huge wheel gap compared to foreign sports cars.

I had the BMR springs on my 2006 GT without shocks/struts and it retained the factory ride which i was very happy with. As for the 2011 i just got (traded in the 06) i was wanting to go with something lower since BMR is only good for 1-1/2 drop.

Anyone tried out the H & R springs that drop 2-2.5 inches? I will be eventually going with 20's so im wondering if anyone is having problems with rubbing or what not. I know if i go this low i will definately do shocks/struts/caster camber plates/Adj Pan but yeah rubbing is my concern.

depends on your tire size, offset, rim width.

I did. I don't want to lower it that much.

I think it looks good with a drop of 1-1.25"
