Default Slam my Stang!

Fellas-
I have an 02' GT with Eibach Pro kit Springs and 18" staggered FR500's.. I want my car lower! There is still a 2" gap between the tire and the fenderwell. I want to go lower. What are my best options? Drop Spindles? New springs? What is the best route? I have seen lots of other stangs that look lower than mine. What's the trick??? If i get new springs, will I have to get caster/camber plates? Bumpsteer kits? I would like to get at least 2 inches more drop. What kind of problems can I expect to encounter? Anyone running air ride out there? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

it depends on your intentions for the car. I have a 97 roush with 18 in saleen wheels(bought it like this). I hate it.. Every time I have anyone else in the car with me the tires scrape the body and i bottom everywhere. I'm no heavyweight either I weigh 175 and with even 1 other 150 pound passenger it scrapes on the smallest of bumps or driveways. It handles ok but not great.. If your just looking for a slammed ride I hope its a show car only. I don't know about you but I'm looking for more function than looks and for me this is not making me happy at all..
if your lookin for a scraper buy a regal.. theres enough ruined mustangs out there with 20s on them

Well the eibach pro-kit is the eibach kit with the least amount of drop, the sportlines drop it a little more, also the h and r supersports. I would also pick up a caster camber kit and bumpsteer. Wont be necessary right away but def something u want to look into.

Remove the spring isolators and run Steeda X2 ball joints without the spacer. It'll give you a low, raked look

I have the H&R Super Sports without isolators too, and I think it looks great. I scrape over a bunch of stuff though..
