What's a good drop for lowering springs?
I'm looking to get some new wheels on my mustang, along with new springs. It def needs to be lower, I'm just not too sure how much lower. Just wondering if you guys could recommend some springs and/or a good drop amount to shoot for. Thanks!

For good cornering with a decent ride quality, you don't want to go much lower than 1.5" on an S197. They look great lower than that, but ride quality and cornering ability deteriorate quite a bit as the cars go lower.
Our UPR Pro Series springs drop the car 1.5" and they handle well. http://www.uprproducts.com/mustang-e...prings-05.html

I had Steeda Sport Springs, Koni STR.T's recommended on this site by Sam Strano on my 07' GT. I loved this combo. Handling was a night and day difference from stock. It lowered the front about an inch and the rear about an inch and a half. Basically leveled the car out and I enjoyed every turn in that car.
No clearance issues.

Also, if you're running larger rear tires, you might want to pick up an adjustable panhard bar.
Where are you buying your springs? If you don't already have them, you can pick them up at uprproducts.com for $179 with the MF member discount.

Bypass the springs and go with dropped spindles and keep
your OEM front end geometery.
Aftermarket lowering springs are the poor mans lowering tool.
So when the bumpsteer is more than you can bear....
