Got the Steeda Light springs installed today... !!...Awesome~!
They are exactly waht I was hoping for... A drop of one inch, and a little firmer ride.
The car lowered 7/8" in front and 1" in back. The car looks proper now, and has much less brake dive and launch jump.

To put a number on it, I would say the car seems 20-25% firmer now. Nothing to make driving uncomportable, just enough to let you know that you are in a proper sports car...
The shop that installed them said that it aligned easily, and they didn't think I would have any suspension issues without installing any other parts... we'll see.

I've attach a morf photo with the before and after image to aid your assesment.

Go Steeda!

my wife noticed as she was driving the 'stang the other day, that at low speeds where she wasnt accelerating, around 28-31 mph, that there was a low droning noise. i said cant be, we've had the car a week. so i took it out with her, and sure enough, my 06 GT w/ auto tranny (for the wife) has a low droning noise. is this the 05-8-6 TSB for exhaust humming that you referred to in this post? and for 06-4-01, rattling noise, she swears she heard that one two a few times. but im yet to experience that. didnt know if taking it to the dealership would solve the problems or not.

Hey wizard, i got a quick question for ya.... trying to get those TSB's, but the only places i can find them, you need a subsciption. any way to get around that? fords site only gives you info on recalls, and only dealing to engine/emissions. but that low vibrating noise on the dash and exhaust is about to drive my through a wall. can the dealerships fix it? cant find the solution without being able to read the TSB's. thanks.

Andy...

You can either print / write the TSB number your curious about and ask your ford dealership to look it up, or try going to Blueovel.com and posting an inquiry. There are several Ford Mechancs on there that will look it up for you.

alright, that worked. thanks. now do i need to take in that number to the dealership when i tell them about my exhaust rattle? or should they just know that its in the system, and i want it fixed. today. cause its annoying and my wife makes fun of me for buying a new car that rattles. (she likes honda, but hahaha, mine is faster). or can they do anything about the rattle at all? should just go buy some SLP's. ole boy here has em, and man are they loud.

would there happen to be an easier diagram for installing new springs, the only diagram I saw showed the struts and I am sure there has to be an easier way then removing the entire front esembly. Thanks
By the way awesome information! thanks!

The front struts are very easy to remove. Simply unbolt the lower two mounting bolts the sway bar end link and then the 4 bolts up top and the strut will practically fall out. Be sure and support the brake rotor hub Assembly as it will try to fall out of place and you may damage the lower ball joint if you let it .
