RE: lowering my car
well with my experience cutting only made a rough ride those were buddy's imports though so i cant speak for mustangs i guess
any way i have stock shocks and struts no problems at all not even too rough a ride annnd i havent had any problems with the no isolators on the front though i did wrapp my springs in a couple laters of electrical tape just to make sure

RE: lowering my car
I have Eibach lowering springs, just 1", and Ford Racing shocks and struts. The ride is very good, I can corner way faster than my friends with a stock set up. The ride is not uncomferatble, it's actually pretty good.[/align][/align]As ar as cutting you springs, I wouldn't recomend it, but if you must, you must. Just make sure to take your time and measure it twice. I knew a lot of guys in California that would cut the springs on there cars, if they only went an 1" to 1 1/2" the ride was ok, alittle stiff though. Any lower than that and the ride was shot to hell. You don't have to change your shocks onless you are going to drop it more than 1 1/2". [/align][/align]The thing to remember is you get what you pay for. I would save the money to get good lowering springs, find a local Mustang club and see what type of springs they use. Ask them to let you drive there car, or at least take you for a ride so you can see how they feel. I have friends that have used springs from Steeda, Ford Racing, and H&R. They are all good springs and ride well. If you know enouph to be able to cut your springs then you could install the springs yourself and save some money.[/align]
