Default Best stance

I really want to lower my car and change the stance, but I don't know the best setup. I'm currently running Nitto NT555 w/ 245/40/18s on the front and 275/45/18s on the back with stock suspension..

I've got the SR springs from American Muscle and I'm very pleased. They drop the car roughly 1.5" all the way around. I had 235/55/18's I believe, whatever the stock wheel size is, and it looked good. Now I have 275/35/20's and it looks miles better as well as it performs better on the road Name:  imagejpg6_zpsb9cf6076.jpg

Here's my 3V GT on UPR Products lowering springs. They're made by Eibach and they give a 1.5" drop. In my opinion, they're a great combination of good looks, good ride quality, and good performance.

When I had my previous Stang, an 06, I had just about the same wheel/tire combo as you. I went with the Eibach pro-kit. I was in love with the stance. I latter went with 255's in front.

Air Lift Performance suspension. Parked stance shown here and you have adjust-ability of ride heights from this to about 1" higher than OEM.

Valid point. I'd agree that Air Lift provides the "perfect stance". However, we sell the springs I mentioned for $199, and we sell the Air Lift kit for around $3200 depending on the options.

The Eibach Pro-Kit will give your car a great stance, that you will be happy with.

Pro kit and SR are both great options. I went with ford racing P springs as they are only an inch drop which is all I wanted. Deep trans pan is too low already. Don't want that hitting speed bumps. Yikes!
