WTB: Boss 302 lowering parts

This site may earn a commission from merchant affiliate links, including eBay, Amazon, and others.

Hello all,

Looking to lower my stock 2012 boss 302 here soon, and was wondering if anyone had the following parts for sale:

1. Ford performance Boss 302 "T" springs. Link: https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-5300-T
2. Maximum motorsports aluminum rear lower control arms. Would also consider the extreme duty ones. Link: https://www.maximummotorsports.com/MM-Aluminum-Rear-Control-Arms-2005-2014-Mustang-P1193.aspx
3. Maximum motorsports rear lower control arm relocation brackets. Link: https://www.maximummotorsports.com/Relocation-Brackets-for-RLCA-2005-2014-P1479.aspx
4. Maximum motorsports adjustable panhard rod for S197 chassis. Link: https://www.maximummotorsports.com/...pherical-rod-ends-2005-2014-Mustang-P988.aspx
5. Maximum motorsports caster/camber plates for S197 mustang with stock upper mounts and stock shocks: https://www.maximummotorsports.com/Mustang-Caster-Camber-Plates-2011-2014-P1400.aspx

I am also open to other brands/setups, I have just had good luck with Maximum in the past. My car is primarily street driven, so I'm looking to maintain most of the street-ability.

Thanks!

I have a set of Steeda Boss 302 specific springs that worked out well for me street and track. They level the car out very nice. I thought the spring rate was damn near perfect. I used them with the MM CC plates you are getting with good results. Ill let them go for $140 plus actual shipping charges. I sold my Boss 302 in stock condition as to why there available.

steeda5, thanks for the offer on the springs. Unfortunately with some research, it looks like running those particular springs with the Maximum Motorsports caster/camber plates can lead to some binding if you try and get more than about 2 degrees of camber. Did you have any issues like this on your car?

In response to this, I currently run -2.2 with no binding on my boss with the Steeda springs. Has worked well for a street / track toy.

I have a set of MM CC plates. Will sell for $170+ ship. 2 years and 12k miles on them.

No I didn't. Like Spencer Terry, I didn't have any binding issues at all with these springs and MM CC plates. Running around the same camber specs as you said. The front Boss 302 Steeda springs only lower the front .25 to .5 inch if that. Its so slight, it doesn't change the front end specs much at all. You will get more NVH when you switch to a CC plate. There is no getting around that. Still very street able though. These Steeda springs level the car out very nice. They get rid of that rear 4x4 look. They perform hell of lot better than the factory springs on the track.
Steeda like Roush,Saleen,Shelby are all part of Ford's technology transfer program. So the parts they produce are held to a higher standard than a lot of other aftermarket companies. I hope this helps.
 
Have made some progress on accumulating parts. Still hunting for a set of lower control arm relocation brackets and the Ford Performance T springs. Let me know if anyone has either of these! Also looking for a good set of 19x10 square wheels!

There’s a nice set of Apex EC7’s on eBay that are 19x10 with Michelin’s.

I’m looking for 19x11’s for the rear or I’d be all over these.
 
Still on the hunt for lower control arm relocation brackets (preferably FP or maximum motorsports) as well as FP Boss specific "T" lowering springs! Also still on the hunt for a set of 19x10's. Also thinking about buying another set of stock boss rims and running the rears on the front for a square setup, so if you have a set of stock wheels let me know!

I have a FP M-FR3A-MGTA handling pack that was on my 2012 GT for awhile. I believe it's the springs you're looking for. I think I have MM camber plates too. FP rear LCA's. The stuff's been in storage for a few years. Let me know if you're interested and willing to pay shipping, and I'll dig them out and come up with a fair price!

Hey, thanks for the info. I actually wound up finding just about everything I needed, so I'm all set minus a set of 19x10 wheels. Have a friend that runs that suspension setup though, and it is a good kit! I'm sure you wont have too many problems selling it.
