Default New Wheels and Springs installed! (pics/vid)

In the past week, both the GT/CS wheels with the Eibach Sportlines were installed. Here are some comparison pics (before/after) and a short video as well.

A big shout out to Brandon (MenesGT) for helping me with the wheels, and allowing me to have em on until those MRR's get sold.

And a very special thanks to Rob (CobraDrifter) and Dylan (DreamTheory) for coming through and helping with the install of those springs. If anything, it was more like me helping Rob than Rob helping me lol. Thank you, without your help none of this would be possible!



hope you all like it

Nice! Your gonna fall in love with it all over again. Lowering my 07 PP was easily one of my favorite mods... the car looked great.. and the handling improvement exceeded my expectations. Can't wait to lower my 5.0.. once you lower your Mustang.. you realize the stock hight looks very 4x4'ish.

Yes! The best thing I have done so far. The handling is greatttt and the ride quality didn't suffer that much. The before and after pics say it all.

Thanks for the comment!

Whats the drop rate on those 1" front and 1.5" back? Also did you just do springs or did you look at throwing in a brace/camber bolts? I've seen people mention both ways and have been trying to figure it out
