Shelby Drop?
ORIGINAL: bradleyb
have you chopped the springs on this - your car definitely looks lower than just a shelby drop?

If I just do the drop, no spring change I should be OK right?
Ok, it's official, I hate coil springs! We just got done with re-installing the springs (for the 5th and last time), and everything looks pretty good. As the previous pics showed, after we did the drop and the spring trim, we ended up too low and the tires were rubbing the fender wells in the turns. Soooo, we added 1 inch of spacer on top of the springs and got the front end back up to where it was before we started. To high now, removed 1/2 inch of spacer and got better but still a tad too high.......BUT, we forgot to include the 1/4 inch of added material that was on top of the new spring isolators. Removed the last of the 1/2 inch spacers and damned if the front didnt come down to where we wanted them, 24 inches from the ground, with the rears sitting at 25-1/2 inch. Gonna post a new pic of the final configuration later tonight after I get them back from the digital camera photodeveloping place
