Recommended Posts

some of you guys looked at my thread before "new picture of my shelby" and asked about the springs

 

they are h+r springs part #51655 sports springs

 

 

 

there are options:

 

 

51655 Sport Springs. Great street ride with a nice addition of lowering and performance

 

51655-77 Super Sport. Aggressive lowering

 

51655-88 Race Springs. Aggressive spring rates

 

 

 

the 51655 makes the car sit and ride absolutely perfect for the street

So as I replied, yours should be a 1 inch front drop and .75 inch rear..............nice but really doesn't seem right as stock rear has a fairly big gap and yours looks more than a 3/4 inch drop in the rear, and the front seems lower than a 1 inch drop. Sorry to doubt you but are you sure of this part number vs. the more agreesive one?? Thanks for posting. I will measure my stock height and decide yours or Eibach

I just did some more research. H&R part number 51655 is the same part # for the Mustang GT as our Shelbys, whereby Eibachs is a completely different and 'new' to be released. This is due to our GT500 's motor is heavier and therefore should have a different rate spring, not the same as the GT's 4.6. H&R also have a footnote # 22 . 22 says that the 1" drop varies and depends on options and 'motor', so...........I'm convinced, due to the extra weight, your front end is def'ly lower than the 'claimed' 1 inch.

 

Sorry, I just want to be certain before I do my drop.
