US-1....

I've got an 11 GT. Granted, I'm not much of a 1/4 mile guy, but since I changed over to the Steeda Ultralights, my ride got smoother, tighter in the corners, almost zero nose dive and, squat on hard launches was greatly reduced without added wheel spin. My stock LCA's are *almost* level. About 1° angled from front to rear. Typically in the past, once I lowered my car I had to use relocation brackets and or better LCA's or I got horrible wheel spin and hop. That hasn't happened this time though.

Having said that, I still plan on upgrading the rear shocks first, then the front struts. I'll also do LCA's at some point, but right now, it isn't required. The ride really is much better than stock with just the springs. You can feel a little bit more of what the wheels are doing which in my opinion, isn't a bad thing since when stock, the car feels just a bit disconnected from the road with EPAS.

Stock struts and shocks will work for a little while. But I do plan on upgrading after the first of the year.

Where are you living...I'm leaving Ala headed to Danville. Will be there tomm nite. Could meet you near VIR and let you judge for yourself how well the KR500 work...


I'm actually a couple of hours from there. I appreciate the offer, but I doubt I'd have time to meet up this weekend.

Do you have the GT500 setup or the D specs??? I'm confused, lol
