H&R SS lowering springs and tire setup

[Nelson Valdes]

Hi!
Anyone have any experience with the H&R SS lowering springs. These will drop the car 1" in the front and 2.3" at the rear. I have a 2010 Mustang GT and the wheel gap in the back is ridiculous at approx. 3 1/4" from fender to top of tire while the front is 1 1/4" from fender to tire. I have 18x8 OEM bullet style rims with stock sized 235/50 on the front and 255/45 on the rear. I was planning in the future to upgrade to bigger rims and tires. I was thinking maybe 255 tires for the front and maybe 275 or 285 for the rear on 19" rims. 20" rims sound big, I don't know. I understand that I will have to replace the pan hard rod, struts and shocks for this setup. Also I don't know if I would need CC plates or maybe the GT500 strut mounts. Any opinions on the springs and tire set up would be greatly appreciated.

That's what I'm running on mine. 19x10 with 255s up front and 285s out back. I just rotated the front struts 180* and used camber bolts. I didn't replace the shocks either.

Nice ass Stang bujeezus! Thks for the input! I attached a shot of mine. I definitely need to upgrade to the bigger tires and lower it. I think I'm gonna go with the H&R SS springs although the front could be lowered a little more than an 1". I don't think lowering the rear 1.5" will be enough. I just got a CDC front chin spoiler that I need to put on it. Any other thoughts would be welcome! Thx again!
