Not hard at all, springs were 165.00. Fronts took off the brake caliper, lower shock bolts and stabilizer bolts, lowered the spring with a jack (carefully) then reversed the proceedure...
Rears, unbolted the lower shock mounts, and the rear stabilizer shock. Then lowered the spring..

RE: Lowered the Stang
i dont know if its just me, but the front looks like it lowered way more then the rear which in turn the car in the pics looks like crap... it looks like the front is sitting on the tires and the rear looks like it still has a gap. Maybe take some better pics with better lighting.

RE: Lowered the Stang
Actually I like the look of a higher tail, I have seen a lot of stangs and other cars that look like there is too much junk in the trunk and on the highway they look like they are about to take off, I do believe that this lightness in the front end can cause high speed instability. I also don't worry about bottoming out in the rear. And in my profession, cars with loaded trunk looks, is enough probable cause to get pulled over by the police. And in one county in SC they will even measure the distance between the front lights and the ground to see if you violate the minimum and maximum bumper distance from the ground. Goes for lowered and raised cars and trucks.
