Default Lowered on Stock Coils

Well, as the title says, I cut the stock coils...aproxamately 1 coil from the front and left the iso's out. Haven't touched the rear yet and I'm not sure if I'm going to as I like how it sits right at the moment.


Stock height



Goodbye coil #1!!!



New ride height. I think it could go a little lower in front and then the back to match it....






















P.S. To the haters.....

Could be a little lower but I like it. Definitely better compared to before.

I think stock height Mustangs have more wheel gap than that of my Jeep or my GF's 4Runner.

Someone go measure the wheel gap of their "stock height" Mustang...

I agree, I'm going to give it time for the front to settle and see how looks then adjust the rear and go from there.

I'm seriously considering it....I just need to get some C/C plates before I whack another coil off......or even 1/2 a coil.

Rule of thumb, one finger in the front, two in the back. Lower in my opinion is always better.
