What do you think?
If you could keep the rake that you have now with the rear tire clearance that I think I'm seeing inidollar's car, you'd absolutely have it nailed. Just a touch of negative rake without any 'lifted' look to it. From the sports car/addiction to hard-cornering with zero dragstrip history point of view.

The pictures of my FB were taken out by Moab, Utah. Very nice place.

I like the back a little high. it looks more aggressive. I would leave it the way it is.

you know.... I like that look I think going back to the original car, if you were to lower the rear a little bit and put larger tires/wheels on the rear only, to keep the stance it has. it would look really good.... imo

Front is just a tad too high - have you done the Shelby drop to your front end? That might take it down to the correct height. Or cut 1/4 coil off a spring?

I also think it needs to come down 3" at the rear and 2" at the front.Also the wheels appear to have the wrong backspacing beacuse they look like they are outside the fenders.If you are keeping those wheels then I guess you need to have the car sit up that high.
It's your choice. Each to his own.
This is where mine sits and I'm happy with it.New reverse eye lafs and 1 1/2" lowered front coils.

I've always liked the look of a Mustang with the nose down, rear up, predator, looking for something to kill.

I would not say it is the wrong backspacing just custome. the wheels do stick out slightly in the rear... I like bigger tires in the rear.

I also think it looks like a predator....

If the fenders can't go down without hitting the top of the tyre I would say it's not ideal backspacing on the wheels.I would also say it isn't that safe or roadworthy.
There's nothing wrong with big rubber on the back. That is achievable with the 4 1/4" or 4 1/2" backspacing on the wheels.Or a narrower diff.
If the wheels protrude outside the fender then the track of the car has been altered as well.
Just my thoughts.Your car needs to be how you like it,not others.The worst thing anyone can do is keep changing things to please others when it doesn't please themselves.

Agree 100% with the comments on the wheels outside the fenders. Its dangerous and unroadworthy, aside from the fact that it looks wrong. (IMHO)
