Thank's man, That's a lot of good info. I just picked up my 2007 GT. I was thinking about the Ford racing Kit to lower her 1.5". I had to replace the ball joints on my LS the 1 st year and do not want to start back down that road. Can the stock suspension be adjusted to compesate for the 1.5" drop. Should I add the FR dampers? How significant is change in handling ? Is the juice worth the squeeze? I have the factory upgrade 18" wheels and tires.

Awesome page. So anyway, what this said in the beginning angling up the control arms, that's actually a neg camber increase right? Pulls the outside tire edge off the road a little and puts it back down in a hard turn?
Anybody have the .75 lower "bullitt" kit?
