I'd say lower it. If you have pretty smooth roads, you won't need to do all the stuff that other people have listed. I have H&R Race Springs and everything else is the stock suspension. I had it aligned, and there was no need for camber bolts or plates. Shocks and struts will degrade faster for sure, but by that time you'll have enough money to redo them, until then you'll have a sick looking stang.

If you lower with the standard Roush or Saleen springs, your only lowering about 3/4 inch in the rear and 1/2 in the front. Here's my car lowered with the painted Legend front splitter. I've had no problems as long as you go at an angle up driveways. Erik

Lower, lower, lower!!! It makes the car look so much better. I only have springs in the rear, but I plan on putting a very soft drop (3/4") in the front soon.
