Dropped Mustangs Lets see them

Taking an unofficial poll to see who has dropped Mustans, how far they dropped them and what kind of springs you got and did you do it youself or have someone do it. How has you handeling improved?

Not sure of the drop numbers... 1" out back, 1.5" up front? Eibach Pro Kit installed at a performance shop in Santa Clara, Calif., Apex Motorsports.

Steeda Ultralites (1" in the front & 1 1/4" in the rear) - Did them myself under the watchfull eye of TacoBill. Check out his how-to if your considering doing it yourself. The car keeps the raked look which I happen to like. FYI- Steeda Ultralites are the mildest drop in the market.

Roush struts, shocks and springs. 3/4 in front and 1 inch rear. I had a shop do it. The rear would be easy but the front not so easy.

Here is my Steeda Torch Red Q335. All STEEDA Suspension sits low enough for me. 19X9.5" Hallett wheels with 275/40ZR19 Goodyear GS-D3's.

I probably have the most dropped stang.. as I went with the KW Var 3 coil over kit.. You should see it when I have it to the point that the wheels would almost rub...

I don't run it to low as I have a GT/CS and the front which has the chin spoiler and with tampa roads I don't want to rip it off

Yeah I'm a dumb ***. I see now. Still way too much fender gap. But I guess it rides better than the pro-kit or sportlines.

Dropped mine about 1.25 Front and 1.5 Rear. Went with Ford Racing springs.A buddy tested the spring rates of a couple different types and the Fords are real close to stock.(Duh!) That way the car is lower and the ride did not sufer that much. Also went with an adj.panhard bar.As always did all the work myself. Got to use the garage I built for something.

Before Steeda Ultralites:


(Not long) After:


Not the most aggressive drop, but I think it looks way better than stock. It has settled another 1/4" or so in the last 5k miles. Doesn't feel any more or less harsh on the street. Paid someone else to do it.
