Looks like it might have been just bolted up. The proper way would be with an aluminum rod underneath for support. The GT500 uses more mounting points so it doesnt get all floppy. Looks awesome new, but after awhile it starts to droop.

The Griggs rear coilover kit has you add a support bracket for that very reason.

So, $79 bucks gets you in the door for a better coil-over set up than the spring over axle perch system?

I'll get some better pics when she's all cleaned up. Not slammed but on FRPP K springs.

this is just a quick shot, finally pulled the car outta storage and put the D2 coils back in(had them out so it could make it on the lift at Ford for Warranty work on the Tranny)

anyways also took the spoiler off, just a quick shot, stock 17s, my other wheels should show up in about 2 weeks.

hard to tell but my exhaust is causing most my issues right now with scraping, but i dont care.

rear is just springs and no perches, front is as low as I can go and still turn full lock without hitting fender, but compressed and full lock she hits.

More pics to come soon! getting rid of the hood with scoop for one without!

Is your lip spoiler hanging slightly lower in the front than it should?? It looks good but cant tell bc of the angle of the pics

Yeah, thanks to idiots at a shop..

Looks like it might have been just bolted up. The proper way would be with an aluminum rod underneath for support. The GT500 uses more mounting points so it doesnt get all floppy. Looks awesome new, but after awhile it starts to droop.

I acutally use more mounting points than normal, I made my own. But a shop tried to pull my car up a ramp I clearly couldnt clear, with wood and it fell from under my car and demolished it.

Lookin good. What blinker bulbs are those, and hid color?

HID Guy Switchback LEDs. And I think 10k hids

I'm not following you guys. Isn't the adjustable panhard bar for centering the rear end when lowered? Did you add a spacer to one side to push it out to make it even?

I have Roush springs, which is a mild 1" drop. I measured my axle and it isn't off center so I didn't do a panhard bar. Unless there is some other reason I need it? Been using this set-up for 5 years with no issues although I want to upgrade my OEM shocks. (I think in this pic I had 100 pounds of sand in the back so it is usually a bit higher)

You're just fine, I only added the 20mm for stance.
