Default Steeda Ultralight Springs Installed - 1st Observations

Well gang...i've had them sitting in my garage for three weeks and I could not stand it anymore. I was going to have them put on by a local guy in my mustang club but could not seem to match up our schedules. So I went down to Joliet Suspension and they swapped out the springs and did an align in a few hours. This is what I've noticed so far:

1. My baby looks HOT.....Perfect drop for me.....the higher stance in the back has been leveled

2. This is the most amazing part - the ride! I remember doing drops on cars 10 years ago and they rode like crap. I even rode in a new stang like ours with an Eibach kit and noticed a difference from stock (I'm not knocking the Eibachs at all!).....all I can say is that the ride is absolutly unchanged from stock......I can't believe it....turns, bumps....the roads I drive everyday...If I did not know I swapped springs and drove....I'd have had no clue.

3. I have a pretty steep driveway entranceand was worried that I might scrape on it. Nope....not a bit.... so I'm happy there too....

4. Since my driveway is the steepest road angle i've yet to see around here, I'm going to go out and measure how far the bumper is when i'm approaching to see if I can squeeze on a FANG Chin spoiler too........wooohooooooo

5. Here is a quick comparison with the before on top and the after below it:
