2007 GT500 Lowering the car

[BillyRay]

Boys,
I have finally decided to start driving my 500. So one of the things I wanted to do is lower the car one to two inches.
The ass end looks way to high so I,am looking to lower that and I,am riding with 20" Shelby Razors currently.


Question you may have:

I will use the car for sport driving only, no strip or track running.
Just driving around town or a trip or to.
Thanks for any suggestions,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Billy

Billy,

Ford Racing makes an entire well-balanced performance suspension kit that lowers the car 1 1/2 inches in the rear and 1 inch in the front. It includes new front and rear springs, new front and rear shocks/struts, a more rigid strut tower brace, and new front and rear stabilizer bars and bushings. The car looks a ton better, front end dive is reduced considerably, and your GT500 will handle noticeably better. A couple of our sponsoring vendors can get you a great deal on this set up.

Billy-

I had McCoy Ford install all of the FRPP suspension upgrades. The overall handling is vastly improved but...I think that the rear is still 1 inch too high and the rear wheel hop is still a problem. I hope this helps.

BR,
I also have a 2007 GT500 as seen in my avitar, and I made the same kind of suspension changes you talk about with Steeda products, pretty much along the line that Chip layed out.
Easy mods, and a HUGE improvement in handling.:thumbsup
