Pics of 1" lowered GT's

I've been trying to decide if I should lower my GT or not. I don't want it slammed to the ground, but sometimes I think it sits up slightly too high. Just looking for some pics to help me decide.

Also, is it just my imagination or do the 05-09 V6 Pony Package Mustangs and also the 2010-2012 GT's sit lower than a stock 05-09 GT?

Beautiful car! Two questions for you, on the dark blue LEDs on the interior, how did you change all the LEDs? Conversion kit? And I see you have illuminated door sills, what brand are those? Thanks!

IIRC the FRPP handling pack that was on my SGT is supposed to be approx. 1" drop.

Thanks!

A guy on S197forums (Mustang30212) will convert them all to what ever color you want. You can either send him all your switch gear, wait a week or so to convert them / ship them back, and you just put everything back in. This works well if you want your exact switch gear back, but you'll have a week or two of down time. ..or, if he has the cores in stock, you can use his cores and just send your stuff back after you finish the install. Really nice guy and he's done alot of conversion for people over there.

The illuminated sills are the OEM Ford ones available on the 2010+ Mustangs. I picked them up from a guy that converted his to custom illuminated ones for $100. I believe NewTakeOff sells those now and I've seen them pop up on Ebay a few times.

I always thought they used k springs instead of p springs. The sgts look so low.

I know I've said it a ton of times, but great car!

I really don't know for sure, I just thought it was the regular FRPP M-FR3-MGTA handling pack. I know it looks really low in the second pic because of the thick grass it was parked in. If you look at the grass, it comes all the way up to the edge of the wheels, which makes the bottom of the car look closer to the ground than it really is.

Which springs are those? I haven't found a kit that offers 1/1.25 as I'd like. Ford K in the front? Thanks!
