Fox Suspension
Ok, how can 2 Mustangs, almost identical sit differantely? What I mean is one sits higher than the other. Is it the shocks on each or the suspension?

shock absorbers should only control the rate at which the springs "bounce". So, assuming nothing else has changed on the car, that leaves the springs.

the spring isolators could be worn out, mine were flattened into oblivion and the front did seem to sit a little lower

Just curious; how much height did you lose with a worn isolator? 1/2 inch?

I never measured it but I would guess it was no more than 1/2 inch
