The car was actually just washed 2 days ago. It just looks dirty because of the flash on the beads of water. Thanks for the compliments.

EDIT: And the reflection of the flash on the car from the ground. Also, the car needs to be waxed because I had some body work done recently and the guy buffed off all of my wax...

So what do I need to do to lower the car? I was thinking about going with Steeda Sport Springs (based off of my like for the stance of 05 Mustangs sold GT). Is this a good choice?

Also, do I need anything other than the springs to get them on and get everything set up again? Will I be able to do the install or is this a professional job?

I have the Eibach Pro-Line which is basically the FRPP springs. I don't know much about Steeda just that a lot run the Por-Line...

You can do the install in the driveway with basic tools, you'll have to get spring compressors from Autozone but they are a loaner tool so that's free.

Yeah I can't decide between the Eibach Pro Kit or the Steeda Sports.

It's a long shot, but I figured I may as well plan for future mods now. I really would like to add a C-Series Front Fascia and possible side exhaust (if not side exhaust, then Street Scene Side Skirts and Rear Valence to balance). Even though this probably won't happen (money...) I thought it would be smart to make my lowering decision based off of this.

So, I was leaning torwards the Steeda Sports because they don't lower as much. Here is a pic of them with the C-Series Front Fascia and side exhaust on:



I think that looks good. Would I be pushing it with this setup with the Eibach Pro Kit? I would like to go with what would look good now but I feel like it is important to consider what I may do to the car in the future in this decision.

For comment purposes, this is my DD. Any suggestions, comments, opinions?

My sig is old, I have the Cervini's side exhaust now with Eibach pro. We are talking barely any clearance difference between the two. So go with what you think you want more.

You will always have to be careful with the side exaust, I plan my route to the stores when I take the stang cause of the side exhaust.

What I want to know is how that guy snagged one of the SMS's butterfly hoods!!!!

That is War Machines car. His username has a number after it but if you search War Machine on the member search he will come up. Send him a PM and I'm sure he would tell you. His car looks awesome.
