Default Calling all people with H&R SS springs...

Can somebody do me a favor and measure from the ground to the fender for me? I want to see how much lower the H&R SS' are compared to my set-up. It takes like 1 minute. Someone please do it for me!

Well i do plan on going lower, but i only have the tokico HP shocks and struts and they cannot handle excess lowering. I know some people have the HP's with H&R SS and i havent heard of them complain of their ride quality (the guy with the silver stang with black chrome bullitts has this set up. His name escapes me at the moment)

But i want to see just how low they are so i can get an idea how low i could potentially go with cutting springs before i suffer ride quality.

Otherwise, i will be looking into some bilsteins off an 03/04 coupe and get a CO kit for the front. And probably use stock cut springs for the rear...

Idk what i want to do really. I was hoping that cutting the stock front springs will give me the look and FEEL that i want, but idk how it's going to work... I don't want to break the bank, but a slammed stang is the nicest stang...

Thanks mrsinister. If you have the chance, can ya post up a pic for me from the side maybe? Or any pic will do really.. (and what shocks/struts are you using?)

I'll go take my measurements tomorrow since i was out all day after i posted in here...

Blk003GT - How many coils did you cut off of the stock springs and were you using stock struts/shocks?
