Default Lower?

Should I lower my car? How much of a difference will it make with handliNg? Does pretty much everyone like the lowered look?

almost everyone is gonna say they like the lowered look better than the stock look. as for handling, it depends on which route you take to lower your car. just cutting springs isnt going to help your handling too much but will make it look better

If you do it the right way, it will look good and handle much better for you.

Right way? haha tubular k-member, coilovers, tubular a-arms. Easier way, bilstein shocks with some .75-1 inch drop springs. I love the look of my eibach springs, however if I could do it again I wouldn't have lowered it quite as much. You'll love the look and the more responsive handling.

Yes. easier with an extra set of hands. Just set aside an afternoon and take your time, follow Ryan's how-to instructions, and you'll be fine.

Personally, I think every 94-04 V6 owner should lower their car because in stock trim they all look like 4x4 mustangs. I put an Eibach Pro-Kit on my 2000 V6 (about 1.5" drop in front and rear), and absolutely loved the more agressive look.
