Lowered the stang today

[JimC]

Installed FRPP "B" springs and Tokico Illumina's today. Overall a nice moderate drop, not to radical. I'm was surprised the ride is not that bad. I was expecting a harsh ride but feels like the stock springs. I need to let the springs settle a bit before I bring it in for an alignment.

How much did you lower the suspension? Did you change anything else on your suspension? I lowered mine 1.5" (14K miles ago, Roush Springs) and it changed the whole suspension geometry and affected the front end camber. I never thought to have the front end alignment checked, but I recently found that my tires have been wearing on the insides which indicates that the top of the wheels are pitched inward. Today I installed caster camber plates and I am going to get the front end aligned on Monday. I also had to adjust the pinion angle but did that at the same time as the springs. I am just curious if you needed to do anytrhing else.

1. Buy new tires.
2. Use a regular sized font.

Ah, those springs need a little time to settle. Nice garage, though! Looks like it has 7-11 stripes.
