Got the Rear Lowered Pictures!!! (1)

[discofan]

Guys,

Decided to get rid of that large gap between the rear tire and the fender well so I purchased the Ford Rosch Rear Springs (only) and an adjustable panhard brace...

Now the car is competely level and I still have the height in the front end to take driveways and other road hazards without bottoming out....

With the spoiler, every inch counts...

Handling better too...

Check my pictures...

GTs should have come with a chin spoiler straight from assymbly

 

[scro]

Awesome. Thanks for posting pics. I've been wanting to do the same thing.

Do you think those springs will settle any?

 

[discofan]

Dear Scro,

By the time these springs settle, I'll be a very old man...

They come from Ford Rosch so I'm sure they are a quality product...

In the words of Nike, "JUST DO IT"...

That looks nice. I'm definitely going to install my rears first, and see how she looks. I got H&R springs. How much did your rear drop? H&R says 3/4" for theirs.

does it change the ride for the better?

They come from Ford Rosch..........

Roush?

OK Guys,

Now here's the scoop!!!

Bought the rear springs from Ford Roush Accessories web site:

http://www.fordaccessories.com/catalog/fordaccessories/cars/mustang/roushaccessories.aspx

It's the only place I found that will sell (rear springs only)... Cost $103.45

Got an adjustable panhard brace off ebay for about $94.25 plus shipping...

The adjustable panhard brace is used to re-align the rear axle and differential after lowering springs are installed...

Had my friendly neighborhood muffler shop do the installation. These guys paid me just to have a chance to work on a perfect 2005 GT...

No front end alignment necessary!!!

Tail lights are outlined with 1/4" pinstriping tape in the same color as the car. Cost is $4.95 for 40 feet (and I have plenty left) Pretty slick, hah???

Easy to do, looks great, many compliments from others...

Now if I use larger (bigger diameter) tires someday, they will fill the wheel wells very nicely...

Dave

Looks very nice. Thanks for sharing your experiences and I like the painted mirrors too!!

Kudos!

This is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for ... I was hoping that someone would sell the rear spring set alone.... that's excellent!

& BTW, the car looks great!

 

[DarkFireGT]

Wow. Never paid enough attention to see the rear was higher than the front stock.. too busy to pay attention I guess. that looks great, and I totally dig the chin spoiler. It's kinda like the Mach 1 chin spoiler for '99 - '04, definitely should have came with the car... I think I like the painted ones for the '05 alot better though, 'cuz yours looks outstandingly clean.

 

[bigcat]

thats the way they should have come stock. makes the whole car look better!! you still have the ride height, but no more rake!!!! thats what i am gonna do!!!!

 

[biznazion]

I'm pretty sure that steeda's can be purchased in front or rear pairs also and the drop is apparently perfect to level the car out installing just the rears.

are you getting all of this?

FORD is so smart!!!

They made the 2005 Mustang GT with so many imperfections that guys like us spend thousand of dollars trying to correct the Ford's F***ked Up design shortcomings...

What a marketing plan...

If they made them the way they were supposed to make them, we would have nothing to talk about...

Thanks for all the great words...

"I love you guys"!!! Dave

ATTN: Jenn. are you getting all of this?

Where is the smiley that has the note pad? LOL...

 

[Stangnut]

Yes, Steeda will sell the rear springs by themselves. They lower the rear exactly 1".

A panhard bar is NOT needed because of lowering the car. The rear end is off center from the factory. It just becomes noticable once the car is lowered. (or wider wheels and tires are installed)

 

[discofan]

Dear Stangnut,

You must have a special deal with Steeda because all their sites advertise the Spring Sets (sold as four springs) and not just front or rear springs...

I wish I had your relationship with Steeda...

Now there are two choices for rear springs...

Thanks, Dave

 

[Stangnut]

Nothing special. They'll sell them to anyone. All you have to do is call. Ask for Gus. I got in touch with him through The Mustang Source forums.
They are $70 each. ($140 for a rear set)
