Actually, if you only have 2, the front seems like a good place for them. At least you can steer.

 

chains won't help you steer at all. that's why that pic is called "mustang_chains-doing-it-wrong-fail.jpg"
they go on the back, they're common here on police cars, garbage trucks, ambulances, snow plows.. etc

even in TX..

 

Show me a BMW capable of doing this!

j/k I'll stop thread-jacking now.

I dunno I kinda like the smooth factory springs I go on the freeway like sailing

 

IMO the car really needs a 1" drop from the stock height. The Boss is a little better, but overall, I think the FRPP springs are the right height. Like others have said, I really prefer the look of a uniform wheel/tire gap on the car. When you tuck, it just looks silly. Not to mention the challenges and stresses on the suspension.

 

How soon we forget what "almost was." The Probe was going to be the "new Mustang!" Supposedly, public outcry stopped this plan just in time.

I do take issue with calling this person an idiot. That pic has been circulating the internets for 5-6 years... I'm guessing they had chains on all four and the left rear chain fell off. It's just about inconcievable that someone would know enough to use/install chains yet get the drive wheels wrong.

 

that is definitely a possibiliy..

yes it was slated to go into production as an '89 mustang. it was so far along when they decided not to (thank goodness) they released it anyway as a probe.

unfortunately it did get the Cougar 9 years later

 

I would like my suspension a bit firmer but I don't want to lower the car any. I can live with the gap. I just don't want to scrape the underside of the car or break my front mask on something. I must use a different exit at work that sends me 15 min out of the way because of some tall speed bumps. Not to mention driveways and ramps at parking garages. Nevertheless I do love it lowered, I just can't do mine like that.

 

I am of the camp that thinks the coupe, especially one with Brembos, looks like it's ready to go off-road. Having owned an '11 GT vert prior to my '12 coupe I'd like to share these observations:

- The 'vert (I had the 19" nickels) didn't look as jacked up to me on the stock springs. I didn't feel compelled to lower it.

- The vert had a very smooth/comfortable ride, yet still good handling. Better ride than my previous car, a 2006 Accord V6, and better handling, even with TL-S sway bars I'd bolted onto my AV6. I hate FWD and the terminal understeer that comes with it, from a handling standpoint.

- The coupe (18" base wheels) felt MUCH stiffer than the 'vert, the stock ride was more "choppy" and it visually seemed to need lowering to me. I figured since the ride already felt like it had lowering springs I may as well add the Steeda Ultralites.

- The Ultralites seemed to chop the ride a slight additional amount (I ride on rough back-country roads). But with Koni STR-Ts the reflexes are MUCH more cat-like and the ride quality on decent roads is very nice for my nearly 50-year-old bottom. Still I wouldn't recommend these if you live where there are rough roads (New York). I drive my beater Toyota to work more than 50% of the time now so I am good.

 

Except on a 4x4. You want the chains on the front then.

 

Well, I love my lowered Mustang except when we go to Fab Fords in Cali and every driveway entrance seems to have a terrible incline into the parking lot and scrape scrape.... I dont know how they do it without tearing up pieces of their cars over there...

I think that's been debunked as a photoshop job.

Also it's funny how the link name is "monstercamaro" LOL

 

Yep.....headers plus stock pipes in the bumper...plus crappy job ....
