PS.... I'll try and post some better pictures of the before and after later in the week..... Things have been hectic around here lately !!

Looks great! What'd they charge you OTD?

Thank you, $569.72 OTD (installation including alignment).... RareFab in Boynton Beach, FL was charging less but I decided to pay a little more and work directly w/ Steeda after hearing about several members alignment issues w/ the H&R lowering springs.

Some better before & after pics....

Looks awesome! What was there fix for the rear camber? Did the say?

According to them (Steeda) the only thing done was a direct swap of the lowering springs and your typical/standard alignment angle adjustments. No troubleshooting or additional alignment steps were taken.

Some of y’all are taking this rear camber thing WAY too far. As far as I can tell I’m the only one that had an issue...everyone else aligned within factory spec. Don’t be scared...drop em.

I'm trying to link up with someone local that's got the H&R spring setup to compare the ride quality between the two and get a side by side comparison pic. I'll probably end up throwing some Vossen HF-5's (22"/10.5"/+30) on in the fall. How's your ST ride comfort with the H&R springs, larger rims and tires compared to the stock? I made the mistake of getting the dealer optional tire & rim protection package (just incase the wifey curbed them).... So I WAS going to just wait until I needed new tires to swap them out but after seeing your (@UNBROKEN) build and @mruff1975 I may throw them on sooner. I also think @Nbk4t5e is looking at the same set of Vossen Rims so I'm kinda waiting to see what his shoes look on his ride first....

I did the H&Rs and am just barely out of specs in the rear.. It’s not a big deal to me but just wondered if people able to get closer and how they did it.

Honestly the intent of my post wasn't to say Steeda is better than H&R or vice versa. I encourage everyone to do their own research and go w/ whichever option suits both their cosmetic and financial preferences.... At the end of the day both aftermarket lowering spring options provide a better ride quality than the stock springs.

Nice, looking forward to seeing them.....

I love the ride...a touch firmer than oem but not harsh at all. Did a 700+ mile road trip last weekend and not a single complaint. The wider track with the wheels and lower profile tires make it a blast around curves now...it stays planted and feels stable. You won’t be disappointed if you go with the 10.5’s.

That's what I was hoping to hear.... new rim's & tires are slowly becoming a priority for me. Glad you're enjoying your ST, the builds coming out nice man....

mruff1975 · Jul 14, 2020

I had my springs installed by the dealer last week. No issues here. Ride is great... like unbroken said ... it’s just a touch firmer then stock. I think when steeda releases the rear sway bar I will order that I find it a bit soft on high speed sweeping turns (160kms/100mph) lol

I’m hoping front and rear bars from them. Hell wigs are always one of my first mods on truck builds but they don’t have anything for these.

Cdubya · Aug 13, 2020

GDubzFL, can you comment on how the Steeda springs ride compared to stock?

GDubzFL · Aug 13, 2020

Cdubya said:

Apart from the functional drop for looks & stance (not too low) it's a lot more comfortable.The ride feels firm but not jarringly stiff and it notably handles better stabilizing, cornering & braking at high speeds. Zero complaints on my end. If you're trying to decide between Steeda vs H&R I'd say go with whichever drop you prefer. The H&R's lower the vehicle a extra inch. I posted a review on Steeda's website as well but thats the gist of it.... Hope its helpful!

Spent the day sliding around in the rain. As predicted by others, middle setting on the sway bar is best. Paired with Steeda springs, even in the softest setting, the truck immediately felt flatter going around any corner, body roll was essentially gone. Middle setting makes it behave very neutral. Hard setting is for if you like to track the truck. will oversteer READILY but doesn't feel like its going to spin you around. backed off back to middle because 99% of the time i want traction control and AWD to save my butt and not depend on my own driving skills.

Add this to the list of must-haves ya'll, its a good one.
