when you lowered your car, due to the stiffness of the springs, and the lower ride height, does it give the feel like the car is faster? like, when you accelerate, does the fact that the car dips less make it feel like its pushing you forward harder?

ummm - no

Handling mods generally diminish straightline accelaration if anything. Laterally it's a whole different story

I noticed on my 06'GT with the FRPP handling pack that the front end lift on hard shifting went away.That said,the car felt more stable with more control. That kit included an adjustble front sway bar and a more ridgid rear sway bar.Adding lowering coils alone won't make that big a difference.I know ,I added lowering coils(Steeda Sports) on my 07'GT and ended up changing out the dampners and sway bars so the car wan't so bouncy.

I remember taking my first turn with the lowered suspension - instantly a mad grin was spread across my face as I eased into the throttle mid-corner and steered the car with my right foot. No body roll, no floaty rear end, no all-encompassing understeer.

Everything felt entirely different. It felt like... a sports car?

Regardless, tuning the suspension on the Mustang gives it the handling performance it deserved from the factory. Now if I could only mount the engine lower and farther back...

Stiffer springs hurt your 1/4 mile but will help your road course times.

For drag racing...don't you want the weight tranfer(front end lift) for added rear traction?

FrostByte

Yes, that is why these lowering kits (which are stiffer)are NOT good for drag racing, they DONT allow much weight to transfer to the rear.
