Lowered the car yesterday.
#11
The drop is 1.5 all around. Its not quite there yet though. So far I have not got a alignment but I am planning on doing the tie rod ends in a week or 2 so I don't want to pay twice. I've only scraped going over a speed bump once. I hit it going way to quick. If you drive normal over them you wont scrap at all. Its not like its a civic that has to go over the bumps sideways. Like I said earlier the ride is a bit rougher. But nothing too bad. I'm really waiting for these tires to ware out before I get some 18s I don't want to be getting rid of some good tires just for looks.

bumpsteer problem? he said its all fine except he gonna center the rear with a panhard bar.
or did u experience bumpsteer problem? how low was ur drop? seems like from everyone i talked to with a 1.5" drop all u really need is the caster bolts and a panhard bar.

For the 05-09 Mustangs, it's best to use Eibach chamber bolts for a better alignment. The newer Mustangs can get away without the bolts for a 1.5" drop. Other than that, an adjustable panhard bar is the only part that's "required."
Give me a shout if yo have more suspension questions!

If you buy the proper size tire as per Ford specs, the overall diameter of the tire will be the same or very close.
So the gap will be the same or very close, regardless of the wheel size.
And OP the car looks great, lowering is a must on these cars.
