Question Looking for good pic S197 w/FRPP Struts/Springs

I'm looking for a good side shot of a S197, preferably black, with the FRPP struts/shocks/springs. I got a set off of ebay, and want to know what my final stance should look like.

thanks

Yes, I'd like more pics please. I'm pretty sure this is gonna look 'sick' on my car when I have all my mods complete, but I just wanna be sure it's not too low a drop.

thx

Usually you do this type of research BEFORE you buy the parts

I have this exact setup now, and my car is black. I've not gotten around to taking new pictures of my car since I installed them, and my car needs a wash. I'll get it done tomorrow and send you pics / post them here. It will be late afternoon / early evening. Thanks alot man, there goes 4 hours of my day tomorrow.

Don't worry about a thing, the stance is perfect. I was walking out of the bank just today and thought to myself "Man, the stance with this FRPP equipment is PERFECT!"

Excellent! I can't wait to see them... if you could be sure to get a door high level shot that shows ground clearance with decent light it'd be great. I've found a lot of Shelby GT pics, but they don't show a door level side shot. I also am wondering how slammed it is in the front wheel. The Shelbys seem pretty slammed.

thx

I think I have a couple close to what you're looking for. As far as stance, I couldn't be happier. azoufan is right, it is perfect !!







Before the spoilers and stripes



the street I'm on in these pics is slightly downhill I gotta see if I have a level ground pic

Great, ground level shots. Now you'll get to see where I...let's just say with this setup, I don't have the nuts to install a chin spoiler. Walgreens parking stops / curbs are MEAN!

Oh man about a week after I got the spoiler painted and installed (after the FRPP) .... I parked too close to a concrete parking spot bumper or whatever it's called, and scratched perfectly in the center of the chin. Figures. Naturally it stands out with the stripes.

The underneath of the chin isn't pretty I can tell you that. Luckily no one but me every looks really.

Those pics are perfect, and I now agree.... IT'S PERFECT! I think with my new CS6 front fascia it's gonna be a magnet for curbs as well, but since it's no longer a daily driver I'm not over concerned... my biggest concern is if I'll be able to make it down my driveway with out scraping :-)

Thanks everyone!

Wow awesome shots. I'm a little worried with the aggressive front spoiler but can't wait to put these on my car.

If the driveway doesnt agree with the Stang, change the driveway

Well I didn't get it washed, so pardon the dirty car. And I'm no professional photographer, so pardon the shots. Man, I'm full of excuses aren't I?
