Lowering a mostly street Boss 302.

[Randy M]

I'll be using my B302 for 95% street. I'd like to get rid of the rake and lower my car ever so slightly but keep the stock Tokicos. Not looking for a track only stiff ride, rather a ride similar to stock. Perhaps a bit more firm would be ok. How does this look to you guys? Is this how you would do it if you shared my intentions? I want do it correctly, the axle centered and all the geometry where it should be. It all adds up to $1023.90 but am sure I could get it for less elsewhere.

Ok here's what I got. :

2012-2013 BOSS 302 LOWERING SPRINGS M-5300-T

2005-2014 MUSTANG ADJUSTABLE PANHARD BAR M-4264-A

2005-2014 MUSTANG TUBULAR REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM KIT - URETHANE BUSHINGS M-5649-R1

2005-2014 MUSTANG LOWER CONTROL ARM RELOCATION BRACKETM-5650-A

I have the P springs but all the other items you've listed and they all work well together. The ride should be a bit stiffer than stock but not by much.

That's what I would recommend.

Looks like good choices. I have K springs on and I think they ride great. Think the T kit from Ford is Ps in front and Ks in back. Only thing I would add is some camber plates.
Good pricing on Ford racing parts,

You can save a bunch of money and get BMR suspension parts. I am running the t springs steeda upper adjustable, bbr billet lowers, BMR relocation brackets and BMR adjustable pan hard. Works great for me. And the car was my daily driver up until a few weeks ago. I have about 20k on the above set up

[302 Hi Pro]

I have come to really like the FRPP mod parts for quality and fit. You can't go wrong with Ford parts for your Boss.

My Boss has the FRPP T springs installed and I really like the ride and the look. They only lowered the front by .48 inches and less than 1.5" in the rear, (on my Boss, full tank of gas and settled), so it has 1/8" to 1/4" rake, (full or empty tank of gas).

With the front lowered by less than .5", the front end geometry is pretty much intact and no bump steer kits are required.

Tip on the rear spring install. The placement of the bottom cut end of the spring is important. Look at the service manual, which talks about placing the paper tag towards the axle, but my T springs did not have any paper tags affixed to the springs so I found that placing the bottom cut end of the spring pointing towards the center of the differential or positioned on the back side of the bottom spring perch gave the best ride. (For my Boss)

Good luck with your install and post up some pics of your install.

Love my BMR parts with my T-springs. Great ride for street or track.

You might check out the Steeda Boss 302 springs too. I had them installed on all four corners and the ride is great without a whole ton of stiffness. After they settled, I am at 28" on all corners. The rear dropped almost an inch and the front stayed almost the same. I also put on BMR LCA's but didn't need the adjustable mounts as the drop was not huge. I also put on the Steeda adjustable 3rd link w/mount and adjustable panhard bar.

All in all, I really like the look and because I won't be tracking it much (if at all) I didn't want it to be too stiff or low for daily driving and road trips. I really like the look and feel. And, all the wheel hop is totally gone too!

There are several options out there, so have fun picking and choosing!
