Correct.... lower does not necessarily mean "handle better". This is really a matter of degrees, as the Mustang does not respond well with too aggressive a drop

As for a stiff chassis to prevent NVH...? Yes (at least in the long run!) Lots of rattles and such get worse via lack of frame support and the Fox Body can use it plenty!

Jazzer... given' the hard information to his green pepes

I think I might be a rare find, only because I dont want to lower my car. I feel a good wheel/tire selection the right damper/coils or coil-overs and a decent set of bars will do just fine.

Thats what I figured. I just dont want it to affect any auto-x runs (bumping me to a different class) if I do attempt to do them.

Thanks for the info, from your green pepes

Also keep in mind if you plan on doing any type of racing, no suspension is going to "last awhile." I can tell you as a guy whos geared his car more towards the strip and is running drag radials that i'll prolly be replacing rod ends in the rear every season. Competition is hard on parts, no matter what you buy.

Very true ↑↑↑ .

At some level, even wheels are considered to be "wear parts" since they do have a finite fatigue life.
