Yeah most definitely your car is lowered, and it has a real nice stance.

I thought it felt like it. And everytime I have druven past another mustang, it looks higher off the ground. But I haven't had a chance to park next to one to compare.

I got no idea. I was about to order some. But I guess I'm not going to now.

check to see if there are new C/C plates, that should help decide. Can you see the color of the springs or any writing on them? My sportlines are red and have sportlines written on them somewhere.

For those that have lowered your car how is the driving comfort (not handling) before and after the install?? I ask because this weekend I put Maxspeed lowering spings (front drop 2.0 / rear 1.8) and it made a huge difference to the drving comfort. Looks great, handles nicebut I felt every bump. Sucks. A guy down the street a 97 cobra also which is lowered and said you have to choose betweenthe looks or the ride. I chose the ride. Putall original springs, caster/camber plates back on. Anyone looking for Maxspeed springs and afermarket caster/camber plates let me know.

YOu should replace the shocks/struts with performance units. The factory units are NOT designed to be lowered, therefore the shocks/struts sit in a firmer setting of the shocks/struts and will give a harsh ride. At bare minimum you should get tokico blues or KYB gr-2's. Theyre DESIGNED to be on lowered vehicles.
ANd if you wanna get fancy adjustable units, Tokico Illumina's are nice or Koni adjustables.
