If the car started to sit like that after the installation...then the springs areprobably your problem.

Did it sit like that before you installed the new springs?

Seems like your front springs could stand being replaced. It's funny cause I have a car that's identical to yours but sits the other way around.

man its probably just the specs of the springs that makes it that way. mine is lowered intentionally as i wanted to go for a showy street car. as for your case,maybe...... just maybe, it could be an invisible monkey tagging along with you as a hood ornament. you never know...... throw a banana about 5 feet in front of your stang on the street, maybe the monkey will get off. if he does, put it in reverse and get out of there as he reaches for the banana. problem solved.

Mine sits the same way! I assumed that the previous owner cut the front springs, and left the rear high to run big tires. My camber is slightly strange also. I want to fix it, but have been slow about it because the car handles like it's on rails as is. Looks a little strange...particularly with lower profile tires, but handles great. Here's a picture of mine.

Its been awhile now but I have this problem fixed. Adjustable control arms and new shocks fixed my problem. The main reason I got the adjustable control arms was to mask the infamous fox body lean my car has but it helped the stance as well so that is a plus.

If they were upside down you should be able to feel it. Truck i fliped the springs on road like a log waggon. You can also try to take the top leaf out sometimes that works. But im not 100%. I live in the south we do what we got to do to make it right.

Your post doesn't make sense since fox body mustangs don't have leaf springs but anyway the spring were in correctly. Maybe the control arms were tweaked since i put the new ones on and the car sits 200% better. I'll take some pics soon.
