Default 2 in drop Eibach springs

I just ordered mine yesterday. I will post when I get my car back from the dealer and install them. Here is what they look like installed. This link is from Stangnet. http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=529926

Let me know what you think.

That's the second one I see pictures of with the Eibachs. I think I'll go the same route.

Looks good but it's a little too low IMO.

I like it with the sightly raised in the back look, not import tunner look.

I don't like sittin the paint on the ground either, but the real American made racers were leveling the cars out, instead of the classic air shock look of the 70's, long before the import tuners started air bagging and droping them over the tires. IMO, the level look will aid starting line traction by weight transfer to the rear sooner. I just hate the off road look ford seems to put on the rear of the Mustang. I do think the 05 is a much better improvement in this area though. I just like the level look with not a whole lot of space over the tires. I call it the IMSA look AKA road racer.

I'm looking forward to seeing your photos.

I have the Eibach Pro Kit which is not that low.

I can't imagine it lower but to each his own.

Careful on those speed bumps! [8D] LOL

I'm still waiting for the dealer to fix my bog problem. The computer did not fix it and now they are waiting for a Tech Rep from Detroit to come fix it. As for the drop... it's only about 5/8th's lower in the back and 1/2 in in the front more than yours . You probably would not see the dif between our pics but I saved about $10.00 with the sport line.

The link I posted at the start of this thread has new side pics and the owner reports no caster camber problems on the alignment. This is good news.
