HOW LOW IS YOUR STANG!
I HAVE AN 05 GT WITH 18 INCH RIMS, I WANT TO LOWER MY RIDE BUT IM AFRAID THAT ONE MODIFICATION WILL REQUIRE A NEXT, TO THE POINT WHERE IT WILL MAKE ME BROKE. I JUST WANT TO CLOSE THE GAP. THINKING OF GOING WITH EIBACH SPORTLINES BUT WHAT COMES NEXT? AM I GIVING UP RIDE QUALITY? AM I BREAKING PARTS IN THE LONG RUN ? WHAT CAN I DO TO LOWER MY RIDE CLEAN NO CATCHES AND WHAT ADDITIONS DOES IT REQUIRE, NO AUTO CROSS NO DRAG JUST PLAIN CRUISE AND GAS PEDAL SLAMING ONCE IN A WHILE JUST TO HEAR THETAR ON THE ROADSCREAM A LITTLE. SO TELL ME HOW LOW DO YOU GO AND WHAT IS THE AFTER MATH, HORROR STORIES THE WORKS. A FOOL LEARNS FROM HIS MISTAKES BUT A WISE DUDE LEARNS FROM THE FOOLS MISTAKE. HELP THIS FOOL

I installed Steeda Ultralites and dropped 1 1/8" in rear and 3/4" in front. Perfect forme and ride is not too harsh/stiff.No extra parts, no alignment, no nothing. Did it myself borrowing a spring compresser from Auto-Zone for the fronts.

Edit: I have the pro-kit on mine and am thinking about swapping them out for sportlines for the extra half inch drop. Makes such a big difference IMO.

RE: HOW LOW IS YOUR STANG!
stiffness is good, not a problem, but i dont want to feel every bump on the road like im out running morters, i see some cars with just springs and every bump on the road makes thier car look like its on hydrolics or something, i dont want that, i expect a little stiffness but i dont want sloppyness, know what i mean?
