Hey eZ, are there any performance issues when having different ride heights? Or is it more of an aesthetic recommendation to keep it level?

CAD, here' the cost so far:

1" drop template - free
1/4" Poly coil spring insulators - $20
560 1" drop coil springs - $80
1 1/8" front sway bar kit - $110
Street Upper arms - $199
67 lower arms - $80
Roller spring perches - $175 (Tell John @ Open Tracker you're from the forum, original $199)
Strut rod bushings - $30
KYB Front shocks - $80

Grab-A-Track rear shocks - $56
Export Brace - $30
Steering kit with roller idler - $265 P/S
CSRP Disp Brake swap - $699

Total so far is about $1830, good thing i've been saving up..

If you want it to handle better of course lower is better...but if you want to go old school and have the car @$$ up lookin like J-Lo. whatever looks good to you I guess. I just think mustangs in stock form handle like crap so whatever you can do to improve that, do. If you didnt care about handling you wouldnt be doing any of this in the first place right?

BA Mustang - ya, I am gonna add the Monte Carlo Bar. 30 bucks extra for the extra support. I spend more a night drinking, might as well invest it into my baby.

eZ - I wanted to invest a lot for a smooth and comfortable ride. At the same time, I'm willing to compromise a bit for the look too.... Still battling between the two. But I'm pretty much fixed on the front suspension

Thanks guys, any recommendations the drum brakes and spring leaf kits?

Don't forget pictures when done. I'm going to be ready for suspension next year with my 67 Coupe. I am getting ready to get my firewall and cowl in this year and will start saving again.

You'll want Traction Masters to eliminate wheel hop, $120. Don't get the cheaper fakes, they're crap, weaker tubes, incorrect bracket offset.
