Huggin' the ground! Nice.
OK, now we need an assometer report. How does it feel from the drivers seat?

well, you know how it is...I hear strange noises everywhere, but before I always had the shaker up loud. I noticed right away that the body roll is gone. The ride quality hasn't suffered...I had it out on the highway and it still feels good. Much stiffer than before and the brake dive seems to be less. I also noticed the front end does not come up as much when I get on it...not too bad. I want to eyeball everything and re-torque everything tonight after work just for grins and then carve up some turns...I will report back.

Looks great! Let your springs settle (about 100 miles), then get an alignment done. ;-)

my best guess is about 2 inches back, 1.5 in front. A few guys think it will settle a bit more...

Its been a week since I lowered her and this morning I was horrified to hear a very ugly clunk from the left front, going over some railroad tracks... I nursed it home and got it up on a jack stand and found it was a loose sway bar link. The one that thru bolts to the upper flange on the strut. I have no idea how it came loose? The nut was backed off a thread...It was a huge clunk. It sounded like something was falling off. I added loctite and re-torqued. So now, I am actually in love with my car. There is a huge amount of satisfaction in the whole lowering/suspension mod for me. The car looks great and handles like a dream. The only word I can find is elegant. I am a Mustang man for life.
