trevor1030 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Hey there, recently picked up a Gt350 and was curious about a set of lowering springs. The car itself is rather low, but i was curious if anyone had any pictures of ones lowered? Google only seems to give me 5.0s or GT350 "Look Alikes" Thanks again!

William Rodgers Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Wow I hope not, I am not sure why you would want to go lower. The wheel well is already filled out, the handling is exceptional, why mess it up. Just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheel well is already filled out, the handling is exceptional, why mess it up. Just my 2 cents I agree, bad idea. The GT350 is arguably the very best looking Mustang of all time. Why mess with that. Lowered late model cars always remind me of what some guys call a "lettuce picker special". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIKEBOY Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I have one..... I can't even imagine driving it around town with it ANY lower. Not to mention what's been posted above already...... the car was engineered SPOT ON! There'll be guys that eventually do it, just because. But if you take the car seriously as it was meant to be, it's wasteful IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 So much for not being negative to the new guys. No, Trevor, most of us haven't seen any lowered GT350's yet because we're a bunch of bench racer wanna be's. I saw one or two at last year's Mustang Week that I may have taken a picture of. The next time I jump on my computer I'll look for one and post it here. Welcome to Team Shelby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Johnston Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 As far as lowering and modifying the suspension, I would look at and follow what the engineers have done with the GT350RC racer. The only reason that I can see lowering the GT350 is for track use as most city streets and roads will cause a lot of expensive damage to rims, tires, suspension and lower body parts.

07gt500conv Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I have seen on FB some of the guys with Base Models who do not have the magnaride suspension add an airbag suspension to lower cars. Most of the GT350 who are tracking and driving them are not lowered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07gt500conv Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 A friend of mine in Cali, lowered it and added airbags among many other things. BUT, as stated above, he had a base model and wanted to improve on the suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoChris Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 +1 his car. Not to my taste and I don't recall him asking me for input pre or post modifications. As my coach once said, "I am prohibited by the conference to talk about the terrible officiating that took place in tonight's game." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Johnston Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Seen a number of new model GT350 toys arriving at the Indy track at SAAC42. None lowered that I have seen so far. A few going through tech inspection to it will be interesting to see how they handle on the road course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
