Suspension work results (WITH PICS)

how much shorter are the endlinks than the stock ones? I bought some from autozone, they specifically are for lowered stangs, but they dont look much different (but then again I havent put them side by side either).

lol thanks guys. I was thinking an 03/04 shaved rear bumper cover, mach1 chin up front, and either steeda's cowl hood or the cervini 1995 cobra r hood (the one without the heat extractor). That said, I'm done with appearance mods for a while so maybe after I graduate I'll do all that. I've put almost 1200 into the suspension now and another 1400 into wheels/tires. Together that is almost the price of a supercharger . But I do get much better handling along with the looks so I can't really complain too much.
I do like them aesthetically as well and that's what set them apart for me in the mid-range performance tire group but to be honest I'm not really that pleased. I have 4.10s so maybe I'm going to have issues with anything but DRs but they really have a tough time hooking up in 1st and 2nd. My backend always goes one way or the other. They are great for making cuts as long as you dont give it too much gas. That's probably the case with any tire though. One obvious negative is that they are pretty noisy. Probably due to the tread pattern. BUT, since these are the first "performance" tire I've driven on in a performance car, I can't really offer you a good opinion on them because I have nothing to compare them with. Suffice it to say, I'll be trying something different when they wear out. Probably Nitto NT01s or NT05s.
Thanks!!!
They are 4.25" whereas the stock ones are 5.00" so 0.75" shorter. My front wheel is slammed though and stang suspension recommends shorter end links only if you're lowered more than 1.75 inches.

Wow, it looks great! I'm doing the exact thing u did except I adding struts, shocks and upr uca's lca's so u might get a lot of pm's soon lol. On a scale from 1 to 5, (5 being the the best) how much better does it ride over stock?

I haven't driven it hard yet since the latest additions because I haven't gotten an alignment. I expect to be very happy with it. I would say 3 after these mods (guess at this point until the alignment). While it drives a lot better than stock, I know there are more ways to improve the handling so I'll say it's probably about the middle of the road.
Things I would suggest for you that you didn't mention:
CC plates (requirement for H&R super sports in my opinion)
full length subframe connectors (next on my list)
MM strut tower brace

No problem man I don't mind helping out with what I can. I already did cc plates, shocks/struts, upper and lower control arms, and a strut tower brace before all this. To be honest the strut tower brace was the best suspension mod I've done for driveability. It is a day and night difference with and without it. The control arms improved my traction noticeably so they were a good choice as well.
