Yeah try that out here in Central CA where it's well over a 100F all summer long. You'd wish you had a stock Mustang with a full charge of 134a. [sm=trust_me.gif]

maybe he want lose to a stock honda. But wheel lifing a stock motor car is just stupid. Why would you want to?? is it to show off? Make people think u got something? But yea 3k in sup will make his car lift but if ur not going to turn around and spend atleast the same amount on motor then its a waste. But hey whatever floats ur boat. Also, louisiana here 100 summers no ac thats why they invented power windows.

Maybe you should read:
While I dont really think it is needed to have that kind of weight transfer on a stock car for looks, you could atleast take in all the info before chiming in, or not post at all unless you have something useful to say.

i was curious if i bought shocks & struts, lowering springs, and rear control arms (upper and lower) and removed my A/C, smog and front swaybar would my car pick up in the front at all??? if not, what else would i need to do. by saying lift up i do not mean getting the tires off the ground, i am asking if the body would go up.

Yes, its definetly possible. Get some light rims up front w/ what you posted before, relocate the battery to the trunk and it will definetly pull the body up quite a bit. Especially with the sway bar gone.

I live in Texas, I see 100 degrees all the time during the summer. The only time I have ever used the a/c is when I turned it on to see if it worked.
Lifting the front tires doesn't really make you go faster, it just makes cool pictures. I have stock suspension and the front of the car lifts up. It's nothing crazy but it still does it.

a good suspension setup is all you would need, if thats all you want to do. the wheels will come off the pavement a good 3-6 inches with a stock motor and $3k into the suspension
