I plan on being around for a long time. So unless I'm away racing, I'll be here to help.

That is awesome. I have the exact same complaint. The next time funds come my way this looks to be a good bet.

Actually, one more quick question....

Could I get away with lowering just the rear, but putting the STR.T's all the way around?
I think you'll probably say since it's all apart just do both, but I was looking at the car today, trying to visualize the chin spoiler and the less-than-perfect roads/parking lots here in Ottawa, and was thinking that maybe the front is as low as it should go.

Any thoughts?

You could.... not sure why really because the nose is so short on a Mustang unless your chin spoiler is super deep I don't see it being an issue at all.

And remember this, springs are built as sets. When you lower, and change the spring rate at one end, but not the other it's akin to some other change you'd make on one end or side of something but not the other. New tires at the rear, but not the front, new brakes, a header on one side of the engine.... one new shoe.

Looks are one thing, but seems that folks often forget that what effects the look statically is a dynamic part of the working suspension.

See? I knew the answer and didn't have to ask!

Thanks again
