Does my mustang look like it is lowered? I can't tell if it is or not. I looked at the springs and I don't see any part number on them. The previous owner I bought it from does not know either. From looking at the pic does it look like it is lowered? Or is the height at normal factory stance? Anyone have a pic of their mustang with the factory springs?

Doesn't look lowered to me. Those aren't stock side skirts, so that might be why it appears lower than it is.

I agree with revhead347 the side skirts make it look lower than it really is. Compared to the red one that was not lowered, it looks almost identical.

What size tires do you have? Measure the distance from the ground to the highest point of each fender arch and post the results. Then I'll tell you if your car has been lowered.

The front tires are 255 and the rears are 275. The distance from the ground to the edge of the fender lip are: The front 26 7/8 and the rear 27 5/8


Here are some up close pics of the rear.

Maybe "aged" lowered. It doesn't look too lowered to me. Maybe like a 1" drop tops?

Here's mine. Stock springs and it needs a drop BAD.

I think yours looks a little lower. The rear tire gap on my car is terrible.

BTW... GNX guy? A friend of mine is into turbo Buicks. Bitchin' cars!

When the rear control arm bushings start to go bad, it's going to sag in the back anyway.

That's about 1/8" less than mine so yours is about 1" lower than stock. Worn coil spring isolators will make the car lower. Here's mine:

The rear control arms are new along with new isolators.
