Steeda makes some nice stuff! Those parts are gonna make a big difference:tup
On a side note I installed the rest of my suspension yesterday, it all went well, the Shelby is dropped considerably, I set the D-Specs at 3 turns out to begin with, next up an alignment. I will try to take a few pictures today in the driveway weather permitting, gonna be hard not to resist a quick run around the block :banghead:

that would be great re pics

Yeah some pictures would be great. Measure the height at the wheel - fender lip, to see how much it dropped.
Lowering is likely my next project too.

Unfortunately the install pictures got deleted for spouses Xmas decorating pictures :banghead:However I took a little spin and got a few snaps,You'll notice I will need a wheel alignment as expected.The Good news, the D-Spec's ride like stock on 5 turns out so there is quite a bit of tweaking for firmness! I'm thinking AutoX next year :chacha: Quite cold today so no spirited driving to test out the LCA's, I didn't notice any extra vehicle noise and everything felt a little tighter! Come on Spring!!

Nice shots, car looks great that low. Do you figure the springs dropped it by more than an inch. It looks like more than that. I expect you will notice a huge difference for the better.
BTW did you change the front marker lights from orange to white?

Yes, changed out the front signals to the clear ones. I think they look good with the Vapor colour. as for the springs, they are the ford racing K springs 1.5" drop my front measured 28" from the floor to the fender before, 26 1/2" after they settle.
