Default LOWERING QUESTION

okay so i plan on lowering my car, cause thats just a neccesity for most mustangs. lol but i have 305's in the back and i know it might not rub, and wheel pacers are deffinently a product i would need but i was thinking the car would have a pretty aggressive stance if i just lowered the front but i have some questions about just lowering the front. what do yall think about just doing the front? tell me whatever you think, i just need some opinions! thanks ahead!

if you just lower the front its gonna handle like crap. lower all four corners and you dont need to worry about rubbing.

I have 285's in the back and am lowered about 2 inches. Not even close to rubbing. I have seen people run 315's and lower about 1.5 inches and not rub so you shouldn't need wheel spacers. Also, the H&R Super Sports are what I am running and it gives it that aggressive stance you are wanting.

How bad is it? Not bad at all. I have H&R SS's and love them. Get them and you won't look back.

Do not consider wheel spacers without first considering the space needed to run them. Take a peek at Choosing a new tire (sig) and see a section on "I want fat meats". There is a complete explanation of how to define the exact amount of spacer you may be able to run without rubbing.
