How much is this car lowered? Mustangs sit too friggin' high. This looks good for a daily driver.

looks like 1inch front, 1.25 back....probably the steeda progressive rates.
depends on the car - could be eibach prokits too...(1.5 all around)

That belongs to someone on the forum here. It's not H&R SS, they drop the front more than that, and maybe slightly higher in the rear.

IMHO, the H&R SS springs give you the perfect drop

Looks like the 1.5" drop of the Eibach prokit. Could also be H&R sports which give a 1.6" back & 1.5" front drop.

How much to drop the car depends on what you like. The prokit is 1"-1.5" and is lower in the front and higher in the back, if you like it real low get the sportlines about 2" all around, get the H&R's if you like a nice even drop bout 1.75", get air bags if you like it slammed, but I think that's kind of ricey. I got the Eibach prokit, the drop is so subtle you couldn't even tell my car was lowered (unless you knew how high it was with stock springs). It's perfect for me now because I have a Roush side exhaust. If I were you and I had the $$$, I would just get a complete suspension system rather that just change the springs. And the stang up there looks like H&R's to me.

H&R SS w/Mach I shocks (Tokicos)



Nice drop with a good ride. Pushing it now though with the long tubes, but not too low at all with shorties or regular manifolds.

Here is mines. It's the Eibach Pro-Kit. It's the perfect drop for a daily driver. But for me, it still sit too high. (4x4)

You have my car...black with black leather. Sportlines look sharp. Are sportlines the low or very low setup? I'll have to look it up.

Looks sharp.

the sportlines are a nice looking drop, however I have found that they throw your Roll Center WAY too low. I have them with the X2 Ball Joints and it still does not handle like I would like.
