Here are some before pictures of the car, I forgot to add some lol. Also thanks I really like the color too, but I think the light blue looks good too. The thing I like the most about my car is that there aren't many 1999-2004 Mustangs with my color.

Looks SICK bro! I really like the color NBM ( Navy Blue Metallic ).. My car is Sonic Blue. Both are nice colors, but you never see a lot of NBM one's in my area. You did good on the springs. H&R's give the best stance, good ride quality , and our good if you ever go to the track ( road race ).. I had a pair on my previous mustang before the one i have now... it was a 02 GT with all bolt on's ( Full xhaust, Cai, Plenum/70mm TB, 3.73's manual trans,UPR suspension xcept the K-mem ) and it did pretty well, felt good on corners, bodyroll/over-under steer not bad at all compared to the set of
eibachs i had on there prior to the h&r's. I dig the FR500 wheels man. Nice ride ya got there :). Cheers everyone!.
 
Some more pictures of the car. I think the springs have settled a lot more since I posted the other pictures. I also bought new headlights for it and a new plastic cowl piece because they were starting to look like chit.

Looks great. What size wheels are those? Caster camber plates?
I'm in the process of lowering my 00' too. Same springs you used, a set of 18" Cobra R wheels that I picked up. Only difference is I replaced the ball joints, control arm bushings, sway bar bushings.

The rims are 17x9 up front and 17x10.5in at the rear. I am using Maximum Motorsports caster camber plates. I had to have the tie rods and ball joints all replaced a few months after I lowered the car. It didn't seem to like the lowering springs and it probably didn't help that the components had a lot of mileage on them.
 
When I started the spring install I noticed the ball joint boots were torn pretty bad on both. I had not had any issues when driving it but I'm pretty anal about keeping things fresh so I replaced everything from the control arm bushings and ball joints to the sway bar bushings and end links. I just got done with the rear springs and all I have to do now is replace the rear brake pads so I can get it out of the garage.
