Any possible way to lower front by 3/4" without replacing springs?

[SuperPete]

Hey yo all,
Did lots and lots of reading here on forum,
I have 2014 SHO, love the ride in the process of tunner and engine mods, daily driver,
Hate stock hight, same time not too comfy with H&R drop as well.
I know rear springs can be cut to what ever hight you with to without any consequences.
Now ANY WAY to lower front by like 1/2-3/4" at all? Any possible way? Anything, anyone?

Thank you all

Pull the trigger on H&R’s. Stiffer ride? Yes, but the handling improvement alone and of course the overall look, which apparently you want, far outweighs a more bumpy ride.
...in my opinion

I know, that's the thing. Daily driver, family of 4, I don't need to rattle my old bones
Also with H&R drop I don't like how wheels are soo inside, almost asking for 10-15MM wheel spacers right? Maybe that will make it not so much gaingster
Thanks for reply!

Perhaps cutting the rear springs and leveling the car would make you happy. It made a world of difference on my car when I did it. Below are a couple of pics for reference. I believe my car rode the best when it was level.

I too have a family of 4 (2 car seats) and I prefer my lowered Sho to my wife’s 2014 forester on road trips. The ride is like night and day compared to my old worn out suspension.

get shorter tires?

 

[Jeff2017]

Reduce tire pressure.

I like the level look as a first step before springs, how much did you cut?
I suppose every car will be a little different based on age/wear and rear?

Depends on if the car is a PP or not.

Looks good! What is the lower front spoiler on your car?

When I did my H&R’s my factory springs had a tag that said SHO and PP. Which makes me assume they are the same.

Are you sure you dont have a PP?

I’ve been confused for a long time. My car is strange with things I have and don’t have.
I have:
Flower wheels
PP brakes
Trans cooler

I don’t have:
Tire inflator
Steering wheel
Traction control button
Or correct axle code.

The axle code and TC button is what cemented it for me. I never ran the oasis report but that’s one thing I’m sure I’d have if it was a PP.

Interesting. You had pp springs as well. Intersting.

How about taking the rubber isolaters off the springs? Taking out the isolaters (or running thicker polyurethane ones) are common ways to get more or less drop on Mustangs.

Now we are talking, is it possible?
Anyone?

Mine is the same way and it's a 2015 non PP. I think they just used the parts bin and some cars got lucky I guess?
Who knows lol
