Tommy Hodge Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 I am looking to lower my 2008 GT500. Is there a setup or is widely recommended? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperNC Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 I went with the Ford Racing Springs along with other items later to improve suspension overall. Not too low and looks aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsybtch Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Depends on what you're looking for I have the FRPP springs also, and I love them, but they don't even the car front to rear like some other spring packages meaning that they retain a little bit of rake, as they lower the car the same amount at all 4 corners so the rear stays a little higher then the front. Eibach, I believe, makes a good spring set that will lower the rear more then the front so the car ends up even. After that you'll want to at least center your rear axle with an adjustable panhard bar and check your front camber settings and adjust if necessary with either camber bolts or camber/caster plates. Here's a side pic of my 08 sitting on the FRPP springs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasShelby Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 FRPP has been probably the most popular. I went with Steeda because they were spring specific for my vert. No problems, great service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tommy My name is Rob Hodge from the UK I had the Eibach set up with my SS upgrade love the springs, you can adjust them to what suits you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavisky Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 If you're looking to do it on a budget you can't go wrong with the GT500 KR spring/shock setup from Ford Racing. Picked mine up for $189 + shipping for springs, shocks, and new hardware to bolt it all in. Like many of the Ford setups though it does leave you with some rake front to rear, but reduces it from the factory amount to some degree. On factory wheels my rear axle is a hair off center, but it doesn't lower it enough to cause rubbing issues. Depending on your wheel/tire setup though this may be more of an issue. First pic after install and a couple weeks driving. Springs may have settled a bit more since this photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
