I like the gold on there. I think doing the side cobra emblems gold will fit right in. It could go a little lower, but not excessively.
Great looking ride man.

Oh yea, so much better. 1.5" to 1.75" drop will knock it out of the park.
Just ordered H&R Super Sports with isos and max motorsports cc plates
Update-
Springs, plates and isos arrived early last Friday and in a mad dash to get the car done before I go to work that way the next morning I could drive the car to the Woodward Dream Cruise with a few other SN95 buddies. Ill post pics later but I struggled getting the bolts out of the rear control arms for about 45 minutes each with a pry bar and impact before getting them out of the car. Having the rears completely done and installed, I made the decision to not install the fronts right away because there would be no way Id make it to the dream cruise. (Woodward Dream Cruise was a really good time, even though one of my SN95 buddies got a ticket for "Improper start" aka spinning the tires). After I returned from the cruise I decided to jack the car up and get ready for the next day and I would install the plates and springs, and really lost motivation and let it sit since Saturday night. I really hope to have them finished by tomorrow afternoon.
Btw, Is it possible for me to adjust the caster/camber myself or should I just save myself the time and take it to a tire shop?

Don't drop it more than half the distance to the wheels from where you're at now. Would hate for it to look like a wheel borrow. Headlight corner change would look killer too, either clear or smoked. Needs some horizontal tails though!!
Don't think I quite understand what you're saying, but as of this morning it has H&R Supersports with isos at all 4 corners

I don't know where that will put the car, but i'm just saying they call it wheel gap for a reason lol.
With the isos it looks like how it should of came out of the factory. Lower but not too low.

I googled some pics, looks good to me. Hate when they go for "stance" when it really should be called "sitting" on the ground, lol.
Function was a huge factor in my springs as well as make it look like I'm not 4x4 ready, and I got rid of my front end rattle due to both of the springs having about 1.5 coils rusted completely off
Picture Update
Decided to get the cobra out and finish everything with the suspension and get an alignment. Turned out pretty well I think.
But after doing some back road testing with the new setup I knew I was rubbing when I cornered hard.
Both rears were rubbing on the inside wheel well right above the exhaust, so I promptly grabbed a hammer and bent a 6 inch long area up 2 inches on both sides. After another test, my hammer modifications seemed to do the trick.

You might want to check the rear upper and lower control arm bushings. Mine were destroyed and allowed the rear to move from side to side causing my 315's to come into contact with the inner fender under hard cornering.
Thats what it is, but I'm not going to pull it back apart yet because in a few weeks I plan on ordering MM Lower Control and maybe upper too if they sell them. For now my hammer procedure seems to have done the trick, the only thing that really irritates me now is this play in my steering wheel, already ordered a MM Solid Steering Shaft (http://www.maximummotorsports.com/S...Power-Steering-Rack-1994-04-Mustang-P460.aspx) Hopefully that does the trick, if not I might find myself a 03-04 cobra rack and slam it in.
It was cooler today so I decided to take a trip to the drag strip, (Milan Dragway) car was a hand full to say the least, first run, which was my best of the night was a 14.3 @99, I launched near perfectly and treed a 10 second Porsche and missed 3rd. After that run the clutch gave me so many issues that I couldn't even get a respectable pass down the track, I have vids of all my runs and I may post them up if someone wants to see my struggle.
Thanks!
Post 'em up man. I'd like to see them
