You can use a scissor jack to get the car up enough to get under it if you're worried about that. It'd be worth it :)

Ya, I have some little blocks to drive up on that get it up enough. I had to use them on my 99 Cougar that was lowered. I do like the look of the chin spoiler.

H&R no iso's. Just a little lower than I expected (although I think it looks bad ass with this stance, LOL)...Ride is more firm than stock, but I also replaced some pretty soft rear shocks, so I'm sure that made a lot of difference too. Don't know how much drop I achieved as I didn't measure before. I think the convertible is a little heavier so that may make a little difference...it's less than 2 fingers all the way around if that helps, LOL!

especially on a gloss black car. the flat black is a nice little touch

What size spacers are those?

1.25"...I had to take the grinder and a cutoff wheel and take less than 1/4" off the studs on the car to get them to fit. 1.5" would go on without having to trim the studs, but I think the extra 1/4" might bring the tires out too far...I think they are about perfect they way they are...at least perfect with these wheels and tires...I have 275/40 on the back.

Agreed they do look really good on a black car.
