Hello, we offer a 1.25" front and 1.5" rear lowering spring for your mustang. We also offer several suspension packages. I would also recommend an adjustable panhard bar to correct your body alignment after lowering. I will post you a link to our site and if you have any questions please give us a call.

there are tons of threads on this topic. search is your friend.

my advice will be to buy separate parts and build up your own kit. don't buy one of the pre-made kits. you'll get better performance hand picking each compnent and have a lot more fun. plus you'll have something unique.

Make sure you clearly know what your objectives are before making any changes. If you are lowering the car is it purely for looks or is it to improve hanlding. If for handling the normal recommended drop is about 1 inch front and rear as any more severely compromises the handling for reasons discussed in the numerous other posts in this forum.

Things you should consider;
1) If you want to improve handling is it only for on the street or the road course
2) Is the car a daily driver and if so how much of an increase in NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) are you willing to live with
