I have read that you supposedly can lower front/rear the SHO by loosing the strut clap and sliding the strut up or down. (approx drop ht is 3/4-1 in). I really havent pursued this, so I am really not sure how to do it. Check V8SHO.com to see if there a faq there on this.

Lowering the SHO....would you really want to? For driving around where i live it is already too low....how about raising it up in the air

I've already had a couple areas where i scraped moving at the speed of my grandma.

The SHOShop makes lowering springs for the Gen 3. Check out the suspension part of the 96-99 area.

On the bottom it says "lowering springs". I'm sure if you called them...you could order a separate set.

One gent who lived in Colorado put them in his SHO last year...but then had to sell it.

Actually their Gen III springs aren't available anymore. They just never took them off the package list

Thanks for the info on the springs. I ordered a set today and they were on special for $120.00 for the set plus $7.00 shipping. That is a good deal if they work and are stiffer. I will let everone know as soon as i get them and get them installed.

I thought they didn't fit the Gen 3 for some reason?? If they do, I'm ordering mine RIGHT NOW!

I ordered a set of the Roush Springs for my 99 Taurus SE (I know, it's not an SHO but I love it anyway). They drop it 1.5". It has stiffened up the ride considerably...it handles much better now. I don't know how to post pix but I'll e-mail pix to anyone who's interested. Let me know at [email protected]

 

[98BigSHO]

Let me know if they work.... hope they have a money back guarantee.
I am interested sort of, but I read you can lower the SHO using the clamps that hold the struts.
