i've got more but fuuk it. my god man why is it looking like a lift kit with lowering springs?


this was all part of my plan to build this thing to perform better. but i feel like i'm in a monster truck.

i have to say though it rides amazing. just looks horrible to me. who thinks i should just fn bag it and call it a day?

Tony, like I said in your other thread, you are just not used to seeing any space between the tire and the wheel well. It looks perfect in my opinion. Not 4x4 looking.....Has it been that long since you had the stock springs in the car? Ford made it look like a 4x4 from the factory, you made it look like a Mustang should with your first setup as well as this one.

thanks dude, i appreciate that. i changed the suspension a few times but this is just about as stock height as it's been since i first dropped it. i know i'm just a goofball to ya'll but i get down and dirty with suspensions and this fn thing drives me crazy, lol. just cant get it perfect in my eyes for nothing...c/o's eehhh, just end up with the same issue...lower i go..pins & needles...bags, ehhh. too minitruckish..haha.

no but it's fine. i may throw some bags in it this winter.

steedas b/j's raise your spindle further above you control aarms...gives ya a little more drop but same suspension travel.

To me it just looks like the front has a bit more fender gap than the rear.. all of the mustang lowering springs seem to do that, and I HATE IT. Rake is not supposed to backwards. Yours is barely that way in my eyes, but that's why I think the front needs dropped just a tiny bit. Otherwise I actually like it better than before, it looks more.. purposeful.

aw tell me about it. i had eibach springs in it a long time ago and it did the same thing.

nightmare just made my day. i forgot bout the steeda ball joints, lol. if i get my spindle up bout .5" than i can still have some travel and less body roll. i might try that.

Sweet, you answered my question about them. I am going to be going with them as well as the tie rod ends since I will have to replace the rack in spring anyhow (minor leak on both sides)
