Default Lowering Kit Advice

He everyone, I just got a 99 mustang gt that has the eibach ground force suspension. The car has been dropped 3 inches, it looks pretty good, But i prefer for the rear to be raised up just a tad bit. How do i do this, do I have to buy another kit and replace the springs or whats the best solution. Thanks

+1 means that person agrees

Isos are spring isolators

I will look into getting them. I am trying to figure how most guys get their stangs to have that slant look. I was told that the front can be adjusted. i guess by me not knowing, and going on what i was told it makes it hard.

3"...? hello, McFly!

If you really have that much drop, you need to bring it back up at LEAST 1" to be anywhere reasonable for suspension to work properly.
