Default Finally! Before and After pics

Some slight upgrades finally completed, ready for summer:

New Mustangs Plus Grab a Track Super Stater Suspension Kit, 620 1 inch lowering front springs, new KYB GR2 shocks, 4 1/2 leaf mid eye leafs, upper and lower control arms, front and rear sway bars
All new tie rods, steering ram (piston), control valve (All this really tightned up the steering nicely)
SSBC front Power disc conversion (HIGHLY recommended)
New 15 inch Styled Steel wheels, P20570R15 inch tires
Pertronix ignition
New Floor boards
All new interior (except dash), done as stock

I like the new stance and wheels much better.

Notice I put a row of trees up between me and my neighbor. Best money spent there overall!!!

It is an original Vintage Burgundy car, when the previous owner (78 year old man) had it painted 2 years ago they took it one shade darker. Its metallic and shines like a ****...I'm pretty psyched right now. Finally ready for summer. Bought it in December and its been one thing after another, but worth it. The suspension and brakes are highly recommended. I used to drive it cautiously, now I can drive it like my new cars...

Very nice car but I think you should work on how it sits in the rear. It sits up to high in the front. The rear looks like it is saging in the rear.

I didnt think you could get the SSBC's to fit 15 inch wheels? BTW I also did the SSBC disc conversion and I love em! Soooo easy to install.
