Your not getting the point, Get the gears, then cut 1 coil off your springs and this will lower your car to where it needs to be. Cut stock springs will give you the ride hight that you are looking for without such a rough ride. From what i hear they ride really well. where as the pro and sportline kits are a rough ride. If i'm not mistaken, i believe(might be wrong) that the H&R springs are stock GT springs that have been cut and painted. I know it is one of the big brands that uses them. just cant remember who it is. I'm sure some one will chime in and correct me.

and if i do suspension now, i will probably just to the shocks/struts, spherical bushings, and control arms and cut the stock springs just to lower it for the time being til i can get lowering springs and cc plates. then i might as well build the whole rearend. like get the ford 31 spline traction lok and 31 splines and do gears at the same time instead of doing the rebuild and bearing kit and the gears.

Hells no, the first mod you do to any mustang should be the shifter.
