we mainly made them because the black mustang (pictured above) is getting a few suspension goodies (j&m cc plates, konis front and back, bmr panhard bar, h&r supersport springs and black gt500's staggered 18inch) and the jack would most likely not be able to be removed once lowered..

I always have to drive up on a piece of 2x4 before I can get my jack under my K member.. And I always forget to put them back under the tires before I drop the car... -_-

Can you feel a difference? I remember when one of those broke on my 94 it was like the car could hardly steer. It was insane how bad it felt without it.

Nice idea.
Ordered eibach sway bar kit. Next is subframe connectors, competition engineering rear coil overs, Koni single adjustable struts (eventually coil conversion). For now I want to get rid of that raked look, so I wanna cut my rear springs a tad bit. How much should I cut? I have isolators on the top of the springs, I wanna put the bottoms on too, so I wanna drop the rear an extra .5-1inch with both isolators included.

After my extended time with Konis, I would honestly say that if you aren't racing more than you're on the streets, you are better off with Bilsteins. Vastly better ride quality, even though they aren't adjustable.
Thanks for the advice man, i want to get the competition engineering rear coil over setup from american muscle (alot cheaper than buying the shocks and coil over kit) and use bilstein and mm coil over kit in the front. But i seriously need to get subframe connectors, Im just nervous cause they are weld in.
