Default Lowered the Stang

Lowered my stang using Ford racing springs, what do you all think. I think the front went down by about an inch and the rear 1/2 inch, but it loks like a lot more. Front end was realigned to specks.

That's good because I have them sitting in my room waiting to install.. I like the look, not too much of a dramatic drop, but got rid of that gap in the front..

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..

Looks great!


And yeah, installing springs/shocks is super easy on the Mustang. Especially after the first time you do it, then you can do it again in like 1/2 the time.
