Looking at a couple different options to lower the rear end a bit. 1st option is something like this.

http://www.uprproducts.com/mustang-adjustable-spring-mount-springs.html

Other option is a full Coilover setup like this:

Yet another option would be adjustable-perch lower control arms like this:

Sharad at UPR said he liked the first one but I really havent found any reviews on them so I figured I'd ask the suspension gurus here.

Not necessarily looking at UPR but they were just the first ones I found.

I would personally recommend the MM RLCA's because:

1) You get the added bonus of beefing up the RCLA's, which is essentially what pushes your car forward when you step on the gas. This is a win
2) It will also let you remove your quad-shocks if you are still running them
3) You get to keep your current springs/shocks (assuming you like them)
4) You don't have to weld anything
5) I really like MM parts

my rear springs suck (Ebay springs) and my shocks need replaced anyway so that's why I was initially looking at coil-overs, BUT I do like MM parts and I need LCAs anyway. Maybe I'll see if I can find someone who just used the front springs of a good kit and is selling the rears.

I run J&M street rear lca's, I love them. Also run the uppers, no quad shocks.. I know it wasn't really what you were asking about, but I figured I'd give my .02 on my rear lca's.

I have the J&M street/race weight jackers lowers on my car. They are very well made with great quality welds. You can get an extra inch lowering with them, or 2 inches raising them. If you check out the customer photo in the link, its a pic I took of them installed on my car. I think I got like a 15 percent discount off my next purchase just for submitting that photo. http://www.americanmuscle.com/jm-jacker-lca-7998-race.html

I think an extra inch is all I'd need since I'm already at 2.5" lol. I can at least get the stance and get rid of the quad shocks at the same time. I wasn't set on the MM, I just happened to be on their website and saw them.
Thanks guys

I also have the J&M LCA's. Love em. Stance is on point with the perches set exactly in the middle.
