I lowered my 94 Gt coupe with sport line springs and the rear is about 1.1/2" raised or should I say in-between the fender well. What can I do to get it the same as the front, which is about 1/2"?
I feel like cutting my springs but then I will be bouncing around!
Any suggestions?

Try giving them time to settle. After about a month mine dropped even more and evened out a bit, mine are the pro-kits but I'm sure it goes for both.

Yeah my goal is to get it very low were I can put my hand straight through and it would be even with the fender and tires. The front is that way but the rear is still about 1.5" high and it's been over a month mostly sitting in my garage. So maybe I need to drive it more...who knows. But if all fails do you suggest a clamp?
But here are a few picts I took to show the difference from front to back.

i have the sportline line and my problem was the inverse as you my back was lowered more than my front and normally this is the problem of all the sportline kit because this is not really more dropped from the back, this is because they try to make the car the same height front and back but it seem to be an optical illusion, but i finally decide to cut my spring 2 year ago and i have added a energy suspension coil isolator and after that my car was really more performant in the curve, cut i full coil and put a urethane isolator and be sure that never you will bounce, you will be only more performant

How much did you have to cut and did you have to take the springs off to cut them? Also whats a "energy suspension coil isolator"?
Honestly I just want that lowrider look.

take off one full coil from the bottom and for the energy suspension do a search on yahoo or go to your speed shop and ask for urethane coil spring isolator and you will love your car man

Once you took one full coil it was even with the front? Thats cool, but how much did those underneath spring isolaters cost you? This is what present car looks like lowered.
When I had my old 94 GT Conv it was lowered evenly because of the convertable of course. I want that Conv look without the convertable.

Black stang present....
Red stang conv old...

On Mustang World Right?
Yeah that car was hella tight with 17" chrome pony rims but I traded it in because to many fools kept trying to steel my car especially in front of my house. But you can find those rims anywhere, try ebay. If not there is this one place in Daly City California where I bought the car from and they have those rims on all their cars. The company is called Colma Auto Sales.
They mostly sell cars like that red convertable GT, Cobras and cameros.
Thanks,
Joe.

Okay I just want to make sure we are all on the same page here..
On my GT my back (rear) is raised higher then my front of the car at least and inch maybe an inch and a half. I want to LOWER my rear to even out with my front. So you are say I dont need to cut my springs I can just buy urethane coil spring isolators and that will correct my problem? I just want to lower my rear and I have already took one spring off.

RC has been trying to sell Chrome tri-bars FOREVER!!...send him a PM....


....if you want a specific height why not spend the money right and get some coilovers?? you can adjust the front and back to exactly how you want it...of course as low as your going has its cons

It's dunny because I tried to cut my rear springs but the blade was not causing any damage. So what I did is took both of my rear springs and raised my car then placed my springs underneath then let my car drop on the springs. I will let my spring settle like that for about 3 to 5 days and hopfully it will help compress the coil so I can get the height I want.
If all fails....I will sell the car and get a convertable like my old one since this car is kind of crappy anyways! The air conditioning/heater doesnt even work and it gets hot here in Sacramento....lol
Thanks for all your help guys

so apparently your in the game for the slammed ricer look and hurting performance?, and have no time to fix the problems with your 10 yr old car...like ac and heat which are probably just vac leaks....
