Springs

thanks for the follow up, 300AGT do you have these in your car now? Or were you just aware of them and was letting us know.

I would be interested in if the 55D spring is better at drag racing than the stock boss spring. As was said they take like 30 mins to swap.

Yes I am using the 55D springs on my Brembo GT at this time . Then I first got my 2011 GT I put a set of Steeda sport
spring on my car there a Great set of spring but my car a DD car . I use these for about year and when i heard about the 55D spring coming out i wanted to give them a try . There some bad bumps on the freeway I have to drive to work every day and they were beating me up a bit ( 55 years old now back not so good ) so i made the change to 55D spring . The 55D spring let me hit the big bumps at 80 miles per hours with out bottoming rear end housing out on the bounce stops. Now to be fair to the steeda sport springs maybe i did not cut the bounce stop enough for the rear end housing to have enough travel . When 55D spring came available i got a set . I when back to my stock front spring with the 55D in the back it fix the problems with the big bumps on the freeway I now have 41,000 miles on the car . For me this made a great all around set up for my DD . It lower the back of the car just enough so when i walk out to the car its not saying to me my ass end is to high in the air why keeping a great ride and handling .

Now you guys got Boss 302 with a driff. spring set up so how well it going to work for you i don't know but the rears are easy to change and if you trying to lower just the back of the car a little (1/2 inch) it may be just what you are looking for .

Thanks for the feedback, I just talked to Andy and am going to give these a try. I'll let you guys know how they turn out.

I put the P springs in mine and love them. I had the rears in for a couple days before I had the fronts put in. It felt pretty good but still had alot of brake dive. After I put the fronts in - no more brake dive. It didnt lower it that much, I think its way better looking and handling then stock.

Great post and Info guys, question I have on lowering the rear with the "P springs", Steeda or the 55D do you have to make an adjustment to the panhard bar, or will the factory bar and setting be ok?

The question about the need for an adjustable panhard bar is not relevant to the manufacturer, it's relevant to the drop. It's simple geometry. The bar attaches to the frame on the passenger side and the axle on the driver's side. If you lower the car, the panhard bar naturally pushes the axle to the left (driver side). The more you lower it the further it pushes it over. Now you don't NEED an adjustable panhard bar with lowering springs, but your axle will be shifted to the left and IMO look funny without it.

just watch a nascar race, and you will know what a shifted axle looks like. ;D
