Default Low enough?

Before

After

The front is down a bit now. I have the 1" Shelby drop and cut half a coil off the springs with a cut-off wheel. I need to get block to lower the rear but how does the front look?

Nice. I'm wanting to do it as soon as I get home. My rear has been lowered about 4" from where it sits in my sig pic, but the front is still at factory height. How wide is your front tire?

Last name is Borden and I grew up in DeKalb, IL. I painted the Borden sign for my barn. I took it with me when we moved to Kentucky.

16x7's 205/45 16 Firehawks on the front and 17x8 245/40 17's on the rear.
The Stangs always sat too high in front in my opinion

How much should I drop the rear? I have "grab-a-track" 5 leaf standard eye springs. It sits up pretty high...

Maybe you should have went with the reversed eye. It seems like you would need to drop about 3 inches or so to be even- but this is from looking at the pictures. Also, did you want the car to sit high in the rear?

good looking car man! I gotta tell you I'm not too crazy about the lowering blocks. You should see if you can't swap out your leaf springs for either a mid or reverse eye.
