Installed the Steeda sport springs in the rear only and it leveled the car out pretty well. Also installed the BMR adjustable panhard rod and realigned the rear end.

 

One more!

 

intresting.... Does it handle any different?

 

Looks good Paul!

 

Looks like it might be a little too low in the back, for my taste anyway. Where you are going for that squat look? It does look kind of cool, though How much did the springs actually lower it?

 

I just got back from a long drive and the car handles great. The rear end pulls in very tight on the corners, much better than before. I thought I might get some front float but I didn't. Even though I will still have to remove the front to repair the popping noise, (parts obtained from 05stangkc), I am not going to install the new front springs now. Hope they make good conversation pieces!

 

Thanx!

 

I agree about the squat, but the body vs wheel space is almost perfect this way.
I was experimenting with 40's on the back end until I get my new wheels, then I'll go back to the standard height tires. I prolly should have explained the tire sizes up front.

I didn't check height before hand to see what the drop actually was, but I've seen several posts that the springs drop it about one to 1-1/8 inches.

 

It looks pretty even to me

You might be seeing an optical illusion, he has 50's up front and 40's in the rear.

Looking at the rocker panel, it appears parallel to the ground

 

Too funny

 

That is interesting. I was thinking about just lowering the rear also but wasn't sure how workable that would be. The car looks great!

 

I think when I get standard height tires on the back, the wheel wells will be pretty filled up, so I am a happy camper.

 

Ahhh, OK. I just made the pics brighter, and I can see how much smaller the rear tires are now. I can also see that the gaps are almost perfect. That is going to look great with your new wheels.

I just need to find some time to cut my rear springs now . . .

 

After install, the differential was moved over 1/2 inch from stock.

 

I just did my rear springs with the Eibach Pro kit and it looks good! I'm doing the front ones when the dealer performs the TSB on the front suspension.

 

I kind of like the throw-back sort of "jacked up" look of the stock ride height, but your car looks great. Are you going to throw on an adjustable panhard bar to fix the axle shift?

 

Where did you measure yours from? I measured mine with a straight edge from the lower fender to the tire and they were the same on each side. I did notice that it was off from the center bolt of the differential out to the shock mount.

 

I would say that this is going to make your handling worse. First, the spring rates aren't going to be right. Secondly, the weight distribution will be different .

 

Installed the adj panhard at the same time.

 

I measured the same way you did, but there was a 1/2" change noted.
