If this is your DD, I wouldn't bother lowering the car. Some speed bumps are so high that my 13 GT keeps rubbing the bottom already, and it ain't even lowered!!
Last1, I noticed you said you drive it all year and lowered it.
Do you get much snow accumulation where you live? Did lowering your Mustang cause any issues driving in the winter?
I drive my 2013 all year but we can have a couple of inches of snow on the ground and I need to be able to drive through it. Last winter we broke a record with about 20" of snow in one day and the plows couldn't keep up with it but my Mustang made it home without any issues.
I've thought about lowering mine but with the snow in the winter and potholes in the spring I'm hesistant.

Thanks for the reply. That is about the amount I've been thinking about, but still not sure if I'll be doing it or not.

I understand the 'Stang for SUV trade completely.
A few years ago I traded my '06 BMW Z4M for a Nissan Xterra 4WD. At the time my interests were tending toward back country exploring, hunting, etc It was a good trade for me at the time as the Z4 was limiting my fun.
I drove that Nissan for 8 years, sold it and bought a cherry '06 Mustang GT. It's great to have a drivers car again. I wonder if I'll cycle back to a truck at some point in the future?.....If I do the Mustang will stay here.
