I'm glad I ordered and am getting the 1" drop.
Sorry but to me it looks like you have two fat-asses sitting in the back seat along with a trunk full of groceries. A bit too low for my tastes.

Probably. The after-market front struts require the use of the 2010 or earlier mounts as Ford made a change on the new models and the after-market people haven't caught up yet.
I am happy with my 1' drop also, but this poster's stance looks perfect to me. Maybe 1/4" spacers might set it off nicely.
I think we are all interested in whether you needed an adjustable panhard rod after the drop. Let us know as there is a lot of discussion on this.
Enjoy your ride. Looks great.
Cheers.

Thanks Nemo, I will surely let you all know if I needed the adjustable panhard bar.
I will ask the installers how far out (if any) the rear end was after the drop.
The bummer is the springs and bar won't come in until the week of Sept 13th and the earliest I can have them installed is Sept 18th. But now I may have to work that Saturday, which means the following Saturday before install. Wish the shop had the springs and panhard bar in stock otherwise it would be done right now.

Why do so many people feel compelled to go with something like, "Sorry but to me it looks like you have two fat-asses sitting in the back...." If you were really sorry, you could have left that out.
This is a mans car. It's a great looking car. One that he is brining to the source to share with his online compadres. Give an honest opinion, but be kind. Saying, "I'm sorry but," doesn't mitigate the slam.
On American Idol, Simon used to start with, "Not to be rude...." Then he would proceed to be astoundingly rude. It's like, "Nothing personal but, you're mother is a *****." Sure, why would anyone think that's personal?
Sorry rant over.
Nice looking drop, it is a little low for my tastes, but I'm sure you're enjoying the hell out of it! Come to think of it, mine being stock, is likely a little high for your tastes.

Driver72, I'm sure you're a great guy but, I really don't get why people have to make things so derogatory. You finish it perfectly with, "A bit too low for my tastes." Done, well expressed and with good taste!

That just lets someone know you aren't being rude just politely disagreeing.
The two fat-asses and trunk full of groceries is the explanation as to why I disagreed.
My opinion and response was kind. And for it to be honest, one needs to be honest. Being "polite" just means, "I'm going to censor my views and speech so I don't hurt any fragile mentalities.
As you said, this is a "man's car". So I'm sure he and anybody else can take a man's opinion and point of view like a man.
If he was a 16 year old girl, then I could understand a fragility and I would of been a bit more censored in my point of view.
It was also an analogy used with a bit of humor to get the point specifically across.
If people always want 100% approval and your back slapped all the time, you ask the opinion of your mama and grandmama.
A differing point of view with an exact truthful response is lacking in this overly PC country.
It's always refreshing when someone is a straight shooter. It's downright foolish to ask others points of view, only to not like it when it's not exactly what you wanted or differs from what you had hoped. If you don't want differing opinions, don't ask or post pics, or again, just ask your mama and grandmama, they'll most certainly always give you the answers you desire to hear.

Personnaly, i think it is a little low with those size tires. You need some meat out back for sure, then it will look 100 times better. With the crappy roads we have over here, no way in the world could i even think going with a 1.5" drop.

There is a difference in saying, "not to be rude" and then going ahead and being rude and saying "sorry" and then disagreeing.
