Its the sag noticeable? I mean I dont like to admit it, but especially when it comes to my mustang i am kinda a perfectionist and If I could notice a difference in the way the back sits to the front I think it would def bother me.

Im a perfectionist and it bugs me. With my new tires in the rear it isnt noticeable, but when i had tires that were equal height front and back, it was enough to bug me. H&R SS springs give the perfect stance and would give you the "lower" feeling and would help handling. It will hinder launches, just like all lowering springs, but will give you pretty much everything else that you wanted. If youre looking for the lower stance with decent launch capabilities, just get aftermarket shocks and struts and cut the stock springs. That will give the lower feeling and give you the ability to launch well.

You can tell that my car doesn't sit even with the Eibach springs.

does anybody have any pictures of this uneven stance? or just a picture with these springs on their car? I mean I want to "see" what we are talking about here, haha. I have checked out the AM pictures, but I honestly think that I see the same pictures in the "eibach" category and the "h & r SS" category, so I dunno if I am actually look at the actual springs.

haha I wish it was that easy. I would buy the H&R springs w/out a question, only im getting these pro-kit springs for $100... thats the only thing that im on the fence about.

Is there any DISADVANTAGE to ur car (performance wise) in having a stance that is slightly higher in the rear?

^^ you can barely see the gap cuz of the lighting lol, first one is best but is at an angle so still cant really tell.

just buy them, put them in and if you dont like them then sell them for $100 and get shocks and cut your springs....simple

dont buy them...but you can see the general rake towards the rear, not necessarily the wheel gap.
