Well, lowering springs are finally here, showed up yesterday, probably schedule the install for next week, after I throw a couple of coats of wax on them prior to installation. lol
The more I look at the gap between the fender and the tire, the more I think this will be a good idea...stay tuned.

No additional adjustments required, apparently the Ford Performance gear is engineered to fit right in with the stock suspension, Magnaride system etc, and Tlavalle is correct with the IRS, so no rear pan hard bar.
Fit, finish and everything working together is another reason I'll buy Ford Performance over most other choices every time.

It still seems weird to me that we've got IRS and I tend to forget. Has anyone on here with the IRS had issues with rear tire wear?

I'm showing excessive rear tire wear and smoke from the rear tires as I leave stoplights and stop signs, not sure whats going on, probably Fords fault.
Going to have the dealer take a look when its in for the spring installation, maybe its a warranty issue.

Surprisingly enough there has been many complaints. There has also been many of those people expecting warranty.

So, heres a question for the audience....what to do with the OEM GT350 springs once I get the swap completed ?
They should work for the S550 platform, but not 100% what the benefit would be over say GT springs as far as height or spring rate. Thoughts?
