so, I bought my sho used from texas. the original owner had it lowered, but I don't know which springs he used. I don't see a tag, but they appear to be more blue than black, but not bright blue. any ideas.

Call the owner or have the dealership call them.
2013 SHO mineral gray,  airaid CAI, Corsa exhaust
Traded the 2014 Fusion Titanium for........
2012 Mustang GT sterling gray 5.0 6sp manual. Roush CAI, Noise delete kit, lower control arm brace.

They are most likely one of the 2 big players in the lowering spring game which are H&R and Eibach.  Is there a problem with them that you are trying to find a new spring or something?

H&R's are blue in color. More navy if you will, and IIRC, a slight metal flake.

Here's an image of mine when they were NIB:



I no longer have the H&R's though, as I opted to upgrade even further, by rock'n the Megan Racing Coil Overs.

And the part numbers are stamped right on there, hopefully not worn out on the ones cseverens has.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

H&R for sure. Mine are same dark blue color and lowered about the same as your car.

Bpd,
With your Megans, do you notice a bit of a rocking back and forth when you come to a stop? I recently put the Megans on my 2011 and when I stop it kind of rocks back and forth... Otherwise they're great!

Nope. No rocking. Strange.

Check your dampening settings. I suspect those are culprit.

I have the Eibach kit. The coil springs are black and the car sits higher than yours. So I would say you have H&R.

I believe there is only 1 option for the 2013's and newer at the moment. They have to be H&R's.
Megan's and Eibach's are only for 2010-12...

Eibachs work on 2013 as well, they're just discontinued.

With that said, that's definitely a H&R stance on the vehicle in question.

Really?! Do you know the specs  (lowering amount, part#)?

I want to lower mine but not sure if 1.5" would be too much (I love on long island in NY).

Maybe I can find a set somewhere.

Good luck finding a set, I held out almost a year before I caved in and got H&Rs. Every now and then a set will pop up though, so just be ready LOL.

The part # is 35124. They are 0.8" up front and 1.1" in the rear.

In comparison,  H&Rs are 1.4" up front and 1.5" in the rear.

Looking back I love how my car sits on the H&Rs, but it would be nice sometimes to have that extra bit of clearance  (pulling into steep driveways / parking lots).
