I need to get new suspension for my 2000 v8 sport pkg. Should I stick with motorcraft or has anyone used anything else that will do just as good if not better? I'm not changing the springs just the shocks. The rear are squeaking cause one is leaking so I figure I'll change them all. Just to make sure are they shocks or does my suspension have struts? I keep my car as original as possible on exterior<she's pretty> but inside I would like to change somewhat. So what should I order and from where? :dancefool
 
Uh...I'm not sure...you may run into problems. Shoot...how much wheel well could you possibly be showing on 20's?
 
That's true...

I'll be able to judge it better when I get them put on, along with the new body kit. The only reason I would lower it is to rid the car of "the fender gap."

What are you looking to get out of it, cornering, more comfortable ride?
 
i believe kandy02 has his on 20'S lowered 1.75" and says he has no rubbing issues but i think his wheel or offset width might be smaller not sure.

DEFINITLY Cornering. It already has the sport suspension so I don't want it for comfortable than what it was. It was just fine. :Beer
