the problem with this thread is the body kit. only one that looks nice is the cobra one but that doesnt make your car any lower, if anything, it picks up the rear.
i vote no on the kit and the suspension, LOTS of money

im thinking about the Cervini Stalker kit. i know it doesnt really lower it that much i just dont want to take the chance of banging up a good paint job. plus ive already ruined my stock front bumper at normal ride height because of all the hills. i know its a lot of money but i im willing to pay for the price to keep my car looking nice.

lol dp you rent or own ? cuz if you rent you should just move cuz if you fudged up the stock bumper .

i dont think the air ride kits even when the bags are fully filled with air dont get higher than the stock ride hieght or atleast not much higher anyway

From the sound of things you live in an area that has gravel and dirt roads, not somewhere you should be driving a mustang. If you're already having trouble at stock ride height with the stock bumper you're going to be screwed with the Stalker. As far as an adjustable suspension, it sounds like your roads are so bad that you're going to have to constantly be adjusting your suspension, which will take all the enjoyment out of cruising in your mustang and make it look weird in the process.

Sounds good to me personally. If he's on a rough gravel road or the like, raise'r up till he gets to town or on a ncie road where he wants to cruise around a look good, then drop it down.
