Mr. D

In terms of not hurting ride, what is the best way to raise the rear of a 2016 Mustang 2 to 4 inches "totally for looks" to give a little more rake. I could lower the front, but that can cause trouble with concrete wheel stops & curbs contacting the front body. What are the choices available?

If you are talking about your car, forget it. Way too many mechanical issues to deal with such as your rear independent suspension geometry. All you could do is put smaller tires on the front and taller tires on the rear. But why?

I was going to say a floor jack. Actually I like proeagles idea of tire stagger. I wonder how much difference you could do without causing ABS codes? I still think you need bigger tires in the rear at least. You should look at my Mach 1. It has bigger tires in the rear and has some rake. It would look level if I had the same size tires on it.

How is this thread different and going to yield a different answer from:

That thread that you started?

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, right?

put a lip spoiler on the front bumper. cut 2 inches off the bottom of the rear bumper. get some side skirts, cut a taper from the front to the rear of both. there you go. have nice day.




edit: shouldn't a guy with this much car restoration (and general do-it-all) experience know how to fab up some HDPE lift spacers? or fab up a sub-frame spacer set out of hockey pucks? or lower the front a tiny bit? or know that a raked '16 is going to look like some fool has no clue what he's doing?

Mr. D

Just looks! When I was a kid I liked a little rake on a car & I guess I'm still a kid!

Mr. D

Do you need to be a Dhick on every thread! Why not just be a snarky schit on Off Topic were I expect it! This could be such a nice forum without people like you that need to get themselves off by picking fights.

Mr. D

[B]Sorry Jim! Point well taken! Not paying enough attention! & I forgot about the other thread!

Mr. D

How did I know you'd suggest bigger tires on the rear! I have been trying to keep the ability to rotate the tires, & not have speedo adjustment problems, but maybe I should just give that up!
