You have any pics of your car?? I can't tell how it sits from you sig. I want to cut my current lowering springs or get some new ones that drop it more!

3" is definitely too low.

Biketybam, lowering your car can hurt your launch because you will get worse weight transfer. It really depends on more than just your springs though so its a hard question to answer without knowing the rest of the set up

I have a 2.5 inch drop on my car.. It looks good but when I go over speedbump I have to be careful cause it rubs sometimes.

I got a 3 inch drop...terrible riding.

So I put a 2 inch drop with some new shocks...much better. Still have to go real slow over bumps though, my flows want to scrape all the time lol

better install C/C plates and a full bumpsteer kit too with 3". Stangs do not look good slammed.....they also don't look good stock LOL.

1.5" is a good drop IMO.
