Let's see those lowered 05's

Nick,
With any drop, if you are conservative, you have the potential for less clearance issues if you switch to a taller wheel and tire combination. Also, if you install a body kit or front spoiler of some kind, you will be glad you did not go too low.
As was pointed out in a post elsewhere by Dario Orlando from Steeda, that the lower you go on a S197, you will need to make some corrections by way of installing adjustable panhard bar, camber kits, etc.
Consider the Vogtland springs with the 1.5 inch drop.
I hope this helps.

THANKS!
It dropped the rear just a bit over an inch. The rear is about 3/4 inch higher than the front still. The distance from the front fender to the ground is 27.75", and rear is just a hair under 28".
I need to measure again to see if it has settled any.

I don't have anything to contribute, but I will support this thread as the TMS VBulletin resurrection of my old lowered 'stang thread. (Hey moderators - make this one a sticky!)
I will eventually get H & R Sport springs on mine, someday...

Like mentioned above. If your planning on a getting a kit or chin spoiler I wouldn't do more that 1.5" drop. Here is a before and after of the eibach pro-kit. I will admit though, I do like the way the sportline kit looks, i'm just not sure if i'd like to drive it (daily atleast)

I have to say that after lowering my previous car with a set of eibach coilovers and having problems with the height no matter where I went I am extremely pleased with not only the drivability of the STEEDA springs but also the look!
