Default Slam it...

I really love the look of the lowered 05+ Mustangs, but I'm afraid that lowering it 1.5 inches will make it really impractical and hard to drive without constantly worrying about smashing the bumper. Any opinions/advice on what to do? Also does anyone have a lowered GT with either stock bullitt rims or Deep dish bullitt rims? If so I would like to take a look at some pics. Thanks

I am lowered with a chin spoiler. Driveways are the only thing that challenge me.

Here is a pic of the 06'GT I had with a 1 1/5" drop(FRPP Handling Pack) and stock Bullitts.And my 07'GT with 18" DD wheels( except I run a taller tire on the rear,295/45/18's). I've never had bumper clearance issues with either car.The Steed Sports lowering coils only drop the car about 1 1/4".The springs do settle after awhile dropping another 1/4 inch or so.

Thanks for the pics...I have never seen the 1 1/4" springs before and I will definetly have to look into them...they seem to be just what I was looking for.

The steeda ultralites will drop 1 inch in front and 1.25 inch in the rear. I was considering getting them installed and after the body kit and the side skirts I am not. PM for price on a great deal and they are brand new.......
