What springs are you running?
I want to lower my fox but i'm unsure what springs & isolaters to use. This is my daily driver & not a track car. What springs are you guys running on your 87-93 fox body stangs? Post pics as well of it with the list of suspension mods.

FRPP B springs with Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings on springs and swaybar, and a performance alignment. It rides a bit rough, but it could be my 17 year old struts and no subframes (yet). Cornering is like night and day between the B's and stock though. I run out of courage and tires before the suspension gives up.

That does look good! I've seen B springs on other fox body's that didn't lower it that much.

RE: What springs are you running?
If anything, I would say the new bushings raised the ride height. The old ones were all smushed and worn out. My car had a badly sagging *** when I bought it (huge stereo at one point), so its hard to tell how much it lowered it based on a before and after. The rear height ended up about the same.
BUT... It just so happens that when I was installing them (the first, defective set that is... one was about 1" too tall) another guy in a Fox GT with stock springs stopped by. I measured his car to see where my problem was, and 3 corners of my car were between .75"-1" lower than his from the fender lip to the top of the tire, and the one wrong corner was the same as his... So... Maybe there are a bunch of defective B's out there?
Oh... In those pictures the car does have about 85 lbs of subs in the hatch. I suppose that could make a difference.
Front wheel well shot:
From a dead-level perspective, the top of the tire is about dead even to, 1/2" lower, than bottom of the fender. Stock size tires, which I think are a pizza cutting 225/50/R16.
