I am still peicing together what the previous owners have done to my car. I am trying to figure out how much my car is lowered and if I shouold replace the springs. The problem I have is that the passenger side sits 1/4" to 1/2" lower than the driver side. I would like it all the same. Heres the measurements I got.
From ground to top of wheelwell with a 255-40-17 front and 274-40-17 rear
Driver front-25"
Driver rear-26 5/8"
Pass front-24 3/4"
Pass rear-26 1/8"

So if anyone has a tape measure and simialar tire sizes, hook me up with some measurements please?

That sounds like typical stock mustang springs that are flat wore out!!! For some reason (actually thats where most of the load is on acceleration) the passenger side rear spring always starts sagging before first. I dont remember the stock heights but that seems pretty close, at least the drivers side.

Either way it sounds like you are due a suspension upgrade!!!!

The front is definitely lower than stock, but it may just be cut factory springs. I suppose a set of bkk's and some shocks/struts would help her out. Thanks guys.
