Btw, that pic is one of my faves. I call it, "The Lion sleeps tonight..." ready to hunt Chevy's in the morning... hehe

Wondering what the experience has been of others who did this.
Hey oldnjguy...whereabouts in Jersey are you from?

They'll work. All that's left is the extinguisher for the interior and then I'll have the watts link and 3.08 gears installed next week. Final step is balancing wheels/tires after suspension setup and then doing final inspection front to back before the speed run in October.

My suspension is done and in a word 'phenominal'.
Launch is way more positive, while the drive is comfy but very planted. No more lazy boy recliner sensations. I love it.

That's the exact set up I was almost gonna get. I'm glad you love the handling. Night and day huh? Mine was that way too.

It was already lowered about 1" front and 1.25 in the rear. this time around the new springs and height adjustments were set to 1/8" lower in front and up a tad in rear for more rake. I haven't had a chance to take any photos yet. Been raining.

What's the total height adjustment for those? I've been wanting to lower mine, but really prefer to be able to raise it come winter...so coilovers have been on my mind. Easy to adjust? I really want something with good street manners and I've seen a lot of coilover setups that DON'T offer that. This looks nice...

I'm not too sure the total height adjustability, but i am close to the top of the fronts as it is. I deal with speed bumps daily so I don't want it slammed. There is plenty of room to drop it more. Weather permitting i'll take some pics tomorrow and some measurements.

I took the mustang out on errands around town. Got home and washed it up nice and clean just before it started to rain here. It's nice and shinny for the sunny days ahead.
