Wondering what the experience has been of others who did this.

Hey oldnjguy...whereabouts in Jersey are you from?

They'll work. All that's left is the extinguisher for the interior and then I'll have the watts link and 3.08 gears installed next week. Final step is balancing wheels/tires after suspension setup and then doing final inspection front to back before the speed run in October.

My suspension is done and in a word 'phenominal'.
Launch is way more positive, while the drive is comfy but very planted. No more lazy boy recliner sensations. I love it.

It was already lowered about 1" front and 1.25 in the rear. this time around the new springs and height adjustments were set to 1/8" lower in front and up a tad in rear for more rake. I haven't had a chance to take any photos yet. Been raining.

I took the mustang out on errands around town. Got home and washed it up nice and clean just before it started to rain here. It's nice and shinny for the sunny days ahead.
