Thank You! Yup, I have since then taken the rear ISO's out so the front is only a 1/4" lower than the back. I wanted it to look as level as possible.

That is MaxSpeed springs and stock shocks as far as I know. I bought it that way. I have since got rid of the wheels and went back to stock starfish.

If you buy a progressive rate spring, your ride comfort might actually increase... You really won't lose as much comfort as you think if you only lower it 1.5 or lower. My car is only dropped about 1.25 - 1.5

My tokico package rides better than most stangs on this site in terms of comfort... I get told all the time how nice my ride is


I'm sitting on 245/45/17 on an 8" wheel up front and 315/35/17 on a 10.5" wheel out back

I think I am making 945's comment my sig

you mind telling me what comes with the tokico package if you bought it all at once and the price? I've been searching and just never found anything that stuck out. Any other springs that will lower me less than that or is that the standard drop? I know I sound like a noooooooob but idk much about suspenstion and since everyone is SO concerned about me dropping it anything can help

Sorry, i had to.

Pat -- i think that if you kept going with the black accents that it would look much better. Right now they look fine and all, but if you had smoked tails and smoked side reflectors and 3rd brake light, i think the wheels would look that much better bc everything would tie right in... Oh yeah, and lower it
you're the one that originally thought it man...thats all i gotta say. lol

Car looks good. Unlike everybody else in this thread I think the ride looks fine.

I have just Eibach springs on my car and I must say I feel EVERY bump and hole on the road. I switched back and put the stock springs back in but more because of straight line performance.

So much going on in this thread...

OP, like the idea, will look better once you get some other black accents on the car!

Smitty not digging your car at all bro.

Hoss- Are you talking smack about Saleens?
